 3.  Greek Islands
 4.  Paris
 5.  Venice
 6.  Honolulu
 7.  Chang Mai
 8.  Brazil

				| I'll answer this post posing as one of my university students (with whom I posed a similar question and got similar results). 
 1) Seoul
 2) Pusan
 3) Jeju City
 4) Dok-do City (There will be a city there soon-don't worry)
 5) Tajeon
 6) Taegu
 7) Kyeongju
 
  Jeonju (for the bibimbap, yo!!) 9) Kwangju *
 10) Everland (not really a city, but...)*
 
 * For those students who have family abroad, 9 and 10 are Los Angeles and Chicago respectively.
