But I'm glad it wasn't up before this summer when I left for Korea otherwise I would've been running around trying to see and do more than I could do. Everything has pretty much been covered, so I don't have much to add. While you're at Insadong be sure to look for Ssamziegil. It's quite touristy but its got all these cute very photogenic spots. When I went, they had some outdoor art exhibitions up. I second eating kkultarae at Insadong (that stuff is freaking addicting) and also... look for the ice cakee man! Wow I kind of love this thread.

You can find hat stores, lots and lots of clothing etc.

Agree that Insa-dong is a must visit. I love to wander around the area, full of housing arts and antique stores, and admire street performers, and Korean hand craft. But to buy traditional Korean souvenir, Nam-dae-mun is the best. The price in Insa-dong sometimes are triple higher than in NDM. You'll find everything in Nam-dae-mun. Also there are a lot of celebrities' stuff ^^ Of course it's wise to make bargain when buying things in NDM. To plan for your trip, you might visit Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) http://english.tour2korea.com/index.asp they have tons of useful tourist information. And I must admit their tourist information is one of the best :) #38, yes, Suwon's Hwaseong Fortress is worth visiting if you have time. I love Suwon ^^ Take Seoul Metro line 1 to Suwon, app. 1 to 1,5 hour. And travel around Seoul by Metro is the cheapest and most convenient way. I love discover Seoul through their subway net. But be aware of traffic hours, around 7 - 9 am and 16h – 19h working day, tightly packed crowd like sardines. You'll also find everything in Seoul Metro's underground shopping. Fans of Coffee Prince Shop can easily find their way to CP shop at filming location as well as MBC's franchise shop at Hong-Dae area. And Han-Sung house is hideaway on Bukaksan mountain. It's a gallery cafe' named San-mo-toong-e, take cab there and enjoy the widely, beautiful view around, esp.it's autumn now.
