I have a few queries about Chuseok:
Are the islands off Incheon worth going to at this time off year?
Any activities worth doing during Chuseok in or around Seoul. I'd prefer to do something 'active' Maybe waterskiing?!?
Any advice would be appreciated

Well since you'll probably get the standard Incheon sucks from most people I'll post some information for you.

Walmido is a pretty interesting to visit. There is a boat tour that goes around some of the islands. I think the last one leaves around 4pm. My guess is most of these things will be shut down on Tuesday/Thursday/Friday/Saturday of next week (again I'm not sure).

The China town area is pretty cool to walk around. There is a park up above it on the mountain (if that's what you want to call it) where there is a statue of General MacArthur in an a garden which commemorates the Incheon landing during the Korean War http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Inchon.

Here is a link to the website:

Yeah, typical 20 something party crowd. Probably never lived in Incheon or quit after 2 months.

I'm driving up to Chuncheon. Don't know whats there...so it should be an exciting adventure. Incheon is a ok to visit... when everything is open.
