Seoul - Message from Liz

"Awesome! I have been to the Gay Hill area in Itaewon. In fact, I felt like I was in the midst of a dance battle with a rather slim guy. I can't remember the name of the bar, but there is a place across from Queen. It was fun dancing on chairs in Queen because it was really, really crowded and there wasn't enough space to dance near the bar.

You should definitely visit the Hongdae area of Seoul. It's near Hong-ik University, which is an art school here."

Example of graffitti in the area:

"They have fabulous restaurants and cafes with excellent atmosphere.

They also have clubs and shopping, but I haven't been to any clubs there. I'll check your itinerary and let you know in a sec what I think.

Hey your itinerary looks wonderful! Working for one of the biggest hogwons (school?) in Seoul, I haven't had a chance to go to the museum or to the palace. If you guys go in the afternoon, would you mind if I tag along? It depends on whether I have to do something else at work, but I finish at 2 p.m. on Mondays. I could meet you at the museum or the palace. Also, I don't know if you will have time or if you'd like to go or not, but I've heard that Namsam Tower has wonderful views of the city


and Insadong, while it is more commercial now has a lot of different Korean crafts and traditional tea houses. "
