i am traveling to Seoul this november.

1. what are the activities/events during this period of time which i can participate?

2. what are the places which might interest a traveler who prefer to be closer to the culture and locals rather than seeing lots of other travelers?
i like to get the feel of the life of the local korean. Plus the tourists attraction spot are usually more expensive.

3. are there any lodging under 40,000won?

4. any other information which you can share is appreciated.

Have a great day ahead!

Thanks!

If you don't get it that's okay. I tend to find humor in strange places. Wink

OR a non-native speaker (not necessarily Korean) who stumbled upon a board that's full of foreigners living in Korea.

hi again, i am counting down the days to Seoul. am really excited and woorie about the weather. its going to be very cold.

i like to clarify that i am not a Korean working in tourism trade trying to dig money out of the foreigners working in Korea.

I'm glad that my broken English brought joy to some of the members here, please pardon my poor English, my friends always tease me too.
i am from Malaysia by the way... enjoying very cheap fare from Air Asia... 295rm, return ticket KL - Seoul - KL, including taxes.
its even cheaper than my previous trip to Hanoi.

I found a really cheap guesthouse, twin room @ 38000won per room per night. thanks for the suggestions anyway.

thanks for reading too Smile
