So the rents will be in Korea during the week of Chuseok. Haven't been in Korea that long, and I was wondering if any of you have any input on things to do, places to see. I live near Seoul...

Thanks.

han river park area is cool. also a hiking trip might be fun.

Dad is coming during the same time.

I'm a little nervous about entertaining him/playing guide.

I have family coming in January and they have some mobility problems (mom just had knee surgery and dad has diabetes and periodically breaks his foot). I'm really worried 'cause I walk everywhere. Does anyone have some driving/light walking options for less mobile parents? I think the DMZ USO tour is do-able as it's mostly driving in a bus, but a lot of the temples and such require an uphill hike. :-/
