Hi everyone ( this is my first post even if i've read sommpi's forum for a long time now )


Here's my situation ..

For my holidays I'am going to japan for a month but since this year i've become more and more interested in Korea , i decided to go some days there at the beginning of september !

I'am really happy but I don't know anything about Seoul and so i would like to know what are the best places to visit , of course i will go to some places such as the palace but I want where there are a lot of young people too , or where i can go shopping ( places that i could compare to shibuya for example )

I really want to be in Korea as soon as possible ! Hope the fact that I don't speak a word of korean won't be a problem and english will be ok ( doubt they speak french )

So everyone give me your opinion please ! I have only 5 days there and really want to enjoy my trip ^^

If you want to see some historic stuff, rely on English, and go where a lot of young people are, stay in Seoul.

Good site, check it out.

Here are more specific links

http://wiki.galbijim.com/Dongdaemun_Market Mall..
http://wiki.galbijim.com/COEX Huge mall... like the Mall of America
http://wiki.galbijim.com/Itaewon Pretty much the foreign district of Seoul
http://wiki.galbijim.com/Insadong Never been here, but it's supposed to be like the walk of Korea in one street. (Old Korea, not modernized Korea)

Well have fun! But be aware.... even though Koreans are supposed to know English.... they really don't speak well..... nor are they really willing to speak that much XD.....
