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.

Review of Changdeokgung Palace, Seoul by clairewood

Disadvantages: Not for young children
