Places to go in South Korea!

So I'm excitedly waiting for June 13 when I finally leave for South Korea. I'll be there for two months at Dankook University. I do not know what campus but I hope its Jukjeon campus because its the campus closest to Seoul which will make travel to Seoul so much easier. I know I'll be busy teaching some korean students at Dankook University and taking classes during my stay in Korea, but I hope to really make the best out of my time there. There are so many places I want to go and so many things I want to do, that I create a to-do list or else I'll forget :P

Things to go/see/do in South Korea.
  • Visit Myeong dong and SHOP!
  • Eat at the famous noodle place at Myeongdong called Myeongdong Gyoja. They offer really good naengmyun.
  • Visit Busan- Jalgalchi fish market and eat live octopus! Also visit Haeundae beach. What else is there to do in Busan?
  • Club day @ Hongdae
  • Go see the coffee house that is in the drama Coffee Prince.
  • Drink coffee at that small but cute coffee house. Korean cafes/coffee houses look so cool.
  • Buy souvenirs
  • Go to that kpop concert at incheon.
  • Visit Cheonggyecheon. Which is the stream in downtown Seoul. The background of my blog is actually a picture of that stream!
  • Try to buy something using my limited korean.
    Unnie, egeo ulma yeh yo? hahaa, would they like me better if I called them unnie instead of ajumma?
  • Try the soju cocktails that apparently don't taste like alcohol according to agnes.
  • Bump into a Korean celebrity!
  • Eat street food :D!
  • Go shop at Coex mall
  • Take the subways. I know I will take them for sure to travel around Korea but I'm really excited for this because I've never ridden in one and how the t-money card works seems cool to me >_>. So easily amused!
  • Visit emart, apparently like a costco and walmart in one!
  • Go to a Korean sauna, jimjibang << not so sure about this one LOL.
  • Noraebang (karaoke)!
  • Try the korean rice wine...
  • Hang out with my friend Sarah who I haven't seen for 4-5 years?
  • Shop at Namdaemun.
More to come, I just forgot what else I wanted to do!
