I have 5 days off for Chuseok. Any suggestions where to go. I was thinking about leaving the country looking at Shanghai. Where would you go, and why would you go?

I would say if you're thinking China, Beijing would be your better bet if you haven't already been. I spent 5 days in Beijing and thought it was just about the right amount of time. I spent almost 2 months in Shanghai, BUT was also flat broke at the time but felt there wasn't really all that much to see or do you couldn't do in any other big city.

Tickets are jacked up for Chuseok week and considering its a month away, the tickets to fly abroad will probably be at least double. That said, flying to Shanghai might be one of the cheapest flights from Seoul during off times. I got tickets to Shanghai last year for 200K round.

Try Taipei or Beijing also, those flights are generally cheap. SE Asia will be expensive and the weather will be great in NorthEast, so you mine as well save some money.

ABC is right, I'm heading to the states this year, as I have 6 days off, but last year I was in Seoul and it was dead. Besides there being a lot of Korean restaurants closed, it was great having things so quiet for once. So hanging in Seoul might be an option if you don't live in the big city.
