Dont forget to say gamsa hamida to the ahjumma,ahjussi and hyung after asking for their help

Just back from Korea yesterday. Amazingly i was in same flight with Rain...hahaha...quite a good trip except heavy rain on Thursday when we were at Everland. Definately will visit Korea again if AA got promo tickets.

Rain took AA flight?

Chuseyo/Juseyo comes from the word Juda (주다), which is "to give".

And "seyo" is a informal polite ending form, it doesn't mean anything on it's own.
But in this case it means "please".

Koreans like it when foreigners use informal polite form endings with them.
It means you respect them and they'll respect you back.

And yea..
Du geh means 2 objects.
Du means 2 and geh is an object counter (like for example 2 'pieces' of paper/ 2 cups of water).

So yep~ spot on, like you said.. "bab du geh juseyo" woud mean give me 2 bows of rice please.

Depends on what time you arrived back from Jeju, if you'll be in Seoul only by evening, better put Insadong and Itaewon to another day.

How about slotting in Nami Island? We enjoyed there a lot. We ta pao a lot of food and had picnic there, but there's a few restaurants if you don't wanna ta pao. Just check on whether it's going to rain or not on that day. You can take a bus from Insadong to Nami Island. The fee is 23,000 per person for return trip inclusive ferry fee. But time is only 9.30am and come back at 4pm.

Not sure if you wanna go 2 palaces or not. I highly anticipated Gyeongbokgung but when I visited, I got bored very quickly. Unlike other nation that decorates their palaces with grandeur and collections, Gyeongbokgung is very simple (Confucianism concept). Not sure about the palace museum though cause it's close on the day I visit.

Namdaemun is better to go in the early morning when there's less crowd but all shops are open. By evening, some of the shops are closed already except the food streets.

If you like skincare and cosmetic, you'll be spending a lot of time in Myeongdong. I myself went back there 3 times. BTW, don't miss out Lotte Young Plaza. They have promotions at their Ground level and I managed to get a good and cheap trench coat there.

Added on April 13, 2011, 12:43 pmJustlah go since you are already in Seoul. If you can't walk to much, just go small round, take some nice pics and go.

If you stay in betwen this two areas or even either the 2 areas, Everyday you can shop there.

Well, Namdaemun is something like our pasar pagi/pasar malam or even you can call it Petaling st lor, everything there inclusive of clothes, souvenirs, food, daily essential, and wet market.

Myeongdong is Nite Market - can be also like Petaling st too combining street stalls, restaurants, pubs & also side shops - Those shops mostly cosmestic..repetitive similar stores everywhere haha..

Dondaemun - Mostly Fashion & cloth market esp on the other side of Cheongyecheong stream after Dota dept stor. Super long massive 2-3 storeys plaza of clothing & fashion.

Insadong - Souvenirs - but abit pricey than Namdaemun 9Can skip)

I think I'll choose Dondaemum and Myeong Dong. Skip Namdaemun. Our accommodation is near Ehwa Women University.

Anyway, Myeongdong & Namdaemun is side by side. Just a road spliting these 2 areas..Both within walking distance to each others
