You step out onto a Seoul sidewalk and the city greets you at street level: neon signs rhythmically blink, the scent of grilled skewers drifts from a side alley, and temple roofs punctuate the skyline above apartment blocks. A local guide falls into step beside you, calibrating the pace and pointing out a hanok roofline that survived centuries of change.
