I can say with complete candour that visiting Seoul has never even been on my must-see-before-I-die list. assuming I had such a list which I don't .
Quarantine: Same goes for Australia ,and here quarantine is monitored by soldiers at an hotel or 'elsewhere'.
If you are lucky enough to be trying to land in Western Australia you may have your quarantine on Rottenest Island. It's a former penal settlement a few miles off the coast from Perth. I visited once, in 1989. There's bugger all there. Consequently, I suspect the accommodation for a few hundred people might be a bit basic . By' basic' I mean tents, portaloos, no hot water for bathing and worst of all (gasp) possibly no internet. The army will probably handle the catering , which is actually a good thing.
The good news is that Rottnest is home to the cute little Quokka, a small wallaby-like marsupial you won't usually see anywhere else. The foxes and feral cats ate all of those which were on the mainland, as quokkas have no native predators. Oh, probably best not to pick them up .They have fleas, will pee on you and probably scratch you, just like our adorable koalas
