I always put off a tour of the DMZ because of drunken wekends. Always figured I would get to it later. I regret not having seen that. Also never got to the Korean folk village.

Have you been to any of the numerous random islands off the coast of Korea, Jejudo excluded?

I think those were the neatest things I did and saw outside of Seoul. In Seoul, the Palace Museum near Kyongbokgung is really cool if it is still open and I'm really happy I had a chance to go and see 'Nanta' and a performance at the Jeongdong Theater.

Check out this page for festival ideas because those are often good things to do on the weekend with fun stuff to see:
