The tour looks quite amazing - if Ashley likes Korean food, and Korean winter, and can get used to the air raid drills. It starts snd runs from November 26 to March 23 in Seoul, South Korea, then moves to Basel Switzerland to run from 13 May to 8 June and then moves for the summer to Blackpool from 20 June - 31 Aug . Kimchi, Korean dancers, alps, and beaches......
