^If going to Seoul, visit Gangnam district. Lots of ppl there on a weekend, great for ppl watching. Lots of pretty girls & boys, though I don't know if they've gone under the knife, since plastic surgery is a big thing there. There are nice palaces too, if you want some culture. If you time your visit correctly, you can join the free English language tour (I was able to join one - entered the palace at the right time) or see the changing of the guards. Name of palaces were Changdokgung or Gyombokgung (or similar). Long names so I've forgotten them. Easy access from MRT. Went to 2 palaces on different days. The other one (Gyombokgung) has a nearby cultural museum - I went to that too. Very interesting. Some of the exhibits explain why the Koreans dislike/hate the Japanese.

Do you know Bettyboo? I think he still lives/works in Korea, but not in Seoul. Cheers & bon voyage!
