Walk in Suwon

I had a great experience with Deng, our guide, who taught me a lot more than I expected. I'd love to join another tour.

I went to Nightzer with Mr. Deng!

The sunset view and illuminated ramparts are very nice. Mr Deng was very kind to show me around. The Dubai chocolate was also delicious!
