Seoul is an amazing city that combines old and new things. As a center of business, culture, and South Korea as well as international finance.

The nearby Namdaemun Market, named after the Namdaemun Gate, is the oldest continually running market in Seoul. Sinchon is a shopping area that caters mainly to a younger and university student crowd.

Insa-dong street is the souvenir street where tourists should take time to look around the Korean shops. A big shopping area where you can find mainly Korean - themed items, from souvenirs to clothing, art and craft, pictures, books. The Insa-dong art and antique district has dozens of art galleries and shops selling art supplies, antiques, and handicrafts along one main street (Insadong-gil) and many side alleys. It also contains many traditional tea and coffee shops.

For fun cafes, entertainment and clubs in Seoul, Hongdae is the place to be. The area is part of the Mapo-gu district in the western part of Seoul, South Korea. Hongdae is known to be a home ground for many young artists because of its many infras, such as little theaters and venues.

The area provides musicals, concerts, and performances by independent artists and mainstream entertainers as well. Hongdae is also known for its mural street. The street is located around the Sangsu Station and contains various murals and graffiti throughout.

And you know what there is Hello Kitty Cafe in Hongdae, nearby Sinchon. Wow i love Hello Kitty. Curiously, i want to go there^^

2. Jeju Island (Jeju do)

Second place in Korea that I want to go is Jeju Island. Why I choose Jeju Island as second place I want to go is because I've seen it in one of variety show which starring by 2PM "Nichkhun" and f(x) "Victoria". They spent holliday in this island. It's make me jealous watched their romantic sceen when they climbed the mountain. Besides that Jeju also has been confirmed as one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature. Wow! With a warmer climate than the mainland, the Island enjoys stunning scenery. The Koreans proudly call this World Heritage Site the "Hawaii of Korea" Nicknamed "Honeymoon Island". Jeju Island is a very popular Korean honeymoon destination. This further makes me wonder how wonderful of this island.

Many attractions located in jeju island, there are Mt.Halla, the mountain of one of the three gods and is a notable mountain. It stands at the center of Jeju Island, spreading east and west. The east face is steep, the north side is gentle, and the east and west form a flat, wide highland. Mount Halla is a dormant volcano created by volcanic activities during the quaternary period of the Cenozoic era.It is primarily covered with basalt. On its top is a crater Baeknok Lake.

Yakcheonsa Temple, which means ‘temple where medicinal water flows,’ was built in 1981 by Buddhist monk Hae-in. He founded the temple after visiting the small cottage that was originally found on the site.

Jeju Folk Village Museum has restored the scenes of the village to that of the 1890’s with a total of 117 houses and facilities. Among them are Mountain Village, Hill-Country Village, Fishing Village and Shamanism Village.

Jusangjeolli Cliffs refer to the set of blackish, rock pillars of rectangular or hexagonal shapes on the east coast of Jungmun Tourist Resort. As if carved by stonemasons, the pillars are evidence of nature’s awesome power.

Jeju Loveland (제주러브랜드) (also known as Love Land) is an outdoor sculpture park which opened in 2004 on Jeju Island in South Korea. The park is focused on a theme of sex, running sex education films, and featuring 140 sculptures representing humans in various sexual positions.
Seonimgyo Bridge is an arch bridge on Jeju Island  over Cheonjeyeon Waterfall that has seven nymphs carved on both sides.
Jungmun Beach (중문해수욕장) has a sandy shore so fine that it is called Jinmosal. The white sand beach is 560m long and the water has an average depth of 1.2m. Different shades of black, red, and grey are beautifully mixed into the white sand of the beach. This helps to accentuate Jeju-do Island’s black Hyeonmuam stones. To the right side of the beach is a natural sea cave called Haesikgul Cave.
And that make me very excited is Teddy Bear Museum. Here you can find everything you want to know about Teddy Bears! It contains two galleries, a museum gift shop, and a museum cafe. Also, on site is a museum bar/restaurant, a wonderful place to meet friends, family, and lovers. From the outside garden, there is a great view of Chungmoon Beach.

From the pictures that I've got a teddy bear is also the model traditional clothing so many countries, the road on the catwalk, bridal wear, naek Titanic, follow-up of The Last Supper, in fact there are so Elvis brought a red guitar of all. And also there is minomi, Lee Min Ho teddy bear stand there :D
