Source(s): http://english.tour2korea.com/ Other Travel Tips Yes, lots of people speak English in Seoul. There are lots of great things to see when visiting Seoul too. There are several great tours that you can take that will help you get alot in. But with 2 weeks he proably wouldn't have to rush too much. Just outside of Seoul there is the DMZ tour. It is easy to book and you take a bus from inside of Seoul to get there. There are also several palaces, including Gyonbuk Gong to see. Many museums are in Seoul, including the Seoul National Museum, and the War Memorial museum. These 2 need a lot of time to properly see them. When I went to the War Memorial museum it took us 4 hours and we didn't get to look at everything. Plus there are lots of other things to do, shopping at Yongsan electronics district, Itaewon, or Insadong art district. There is also Seoul Tower, the 63 building, and many many other sites. Check out this website for more details. http://www.lifeinkorea.com/tours/indexe.... Been living in Korea almost 3 years now. there is a whole lot of fun stuff like the mountains right out of the city and the dmz but my favorite thing to do is yell out MR KIM WAIT UP!!!!!!! and see how many people turn around because kim is the largest name in korea. also the speak lots of english there but there are drugs that are ilegal in america growing there in public places so be careful what you rip a peice off went to korea for three weeks |
