Quick review of Seoul (South Korea)
Review of Seoul (South Korea) by
otagojk
Excellent. A Busy city with lots of people.
Best way of transport was by the Sub-way.
Now days, there are lots of people whom can speak english well.
The night life is great. Lots of pubs, restaurants and shops are open until early morning.
I went to Daehak Ro (University Street) and Shinchon (New town) and enjoyed lots of entertainments and shopping.
It is always best to make a Korean friend when you go out and be aware of thieves.
Also Seoul is a great opportunity to make money by teaching English in Cram School (Academy) for students.

Changdeokgung Palace
Review of Changdeokgung Palace, Seoul by
clairewood
Advantages: Guided Tour, Cheap, Pretty
Disadvantages: Not for young children
Changdeokgung Palace is one of the better palaces along with the bigger Gyeongbokgung Palace. It's a shame that you can only see this palace by guided tour, but it's still well worth exploring. There are tours in English, Japanese, Chinese and Korean. ...
