				| My friend will be arriving in Korea late July. I am not sure if we should stay in Seoul or Incheon. I haven't been to Seoul yet and I don't know how far away it is from Incheon either. Can anyone recommend some decent hotels in either area...? I am very clueless about this part of Korea unfortunately. 
 I thought we might stop in Suwon and check out the fortress. Has anyone gone? Is there a bus that will stop in Suwon on a way to Jeonnam (where I live).
 
 Once we arrive in Jeonnam, I know tons of places to go. And I plan on taking her to Jeju as well for a few days. But like I said, outside of Jeonnam I am kind of lost.
 
 Can anyone recommend anything around Seoul or on the way from Seoul to Gwangju that may be worth checking out? I really want her to have fun here and  I want to try to plan as much as possible so things go smoothly and we don't waste time struggling to find hotels, train routes, sight last minute!

				| If it's a guy - 
 As soon as he gets off the plane, take the limo to Itaewon.  Take him for Samguipsal and get him f'd up on sojo shots and poktangju.  Then take him to a bar on the hill and pay one of the ladies 100,000 to be nice to him.
 
 An unforgettable introduction and first night in Korea!!!

				| What is special about the bathroom in namson tower? 
 They still have tours to the DMZ? Is that worthwhile?
