hi, simon, hallie here in seoul. there is a ton you can see in 2a hours.gyeongbokgung palace, the main palace of thejoseon dynasty here in korea. from there you can check out the bukchon hanok collection of traditional korean homes, and then easily check out gwangjang market, a traditional asian market that has over 100 years of history and serves up some delicious noodle soups and dumplings for lunch. from there walk along the cheonggyecheon stream, and check out the dongdaemun design plaza, a great modern addition to the architecture here in seoul, and then end at namsan tower where you can watch the sunset and twinkling lights turn on. i hope you have a great trip! next, gemma from leamington in the english midlands wants to book a holiday in the european union after the uk has left on 29 march 2019. she says she cannot find an answer to her question online. the consumer protection offered by atol, the air travel 0rganisations license, and abta, the travel association, remains in effect whatever the uk's geopolitical status. but much more significantly
