It's only about a 20-minute subway ride from downtown Seoul - you get off at Jamshil Station - and it has plenty of great rides and things to do for children and adults alike. If you can, visit on a weekday to avoid the crowds and the long queues. After 5 p.m., admission to the park is cut from around $27 to about $23. You can still...

From them came the raw material for Martin...

In 15 minutes you are: Off to rehearsal with half a peck of delicious apples. In 15 years you are: A park ranger at Sequoia National Monument, teaching kids about John Muir at the visitors center and leading the 1:30 hike to that one tree that you can drive through...
