Hello I’m going to Seoul in 2 weeks and having real trouble renting/borrowing a wheelchair. I’ve tried Wheelshare (https://wheelshare.kr/bbs/?act=member&subAct=login) but the website doesn’t load and I apparently need a Korean guarantor.

We visited the National Museum, which is beautifully designed, and the old palace. Yesterday we went for a hike along the Han River. Today we’re heading to Tokyo. I’m really excited!

That looks amazing!
How was the accessibility in your opinion?
