understand,have fun.
no worries, just wanted to make sure those who were on the 2006 Korea Do thread and showed interest in a 2007 Korea Do were aware. keeping fingers crossed.
very good !^

Just booked the Westin Chosun since yall booked there. Now, if I can just change that ICN-ORD flight on OZ :D

I've been in email communication with the USO based in Korea. The are not taking September reservations until June of this year. FYI,

If anyone is interested in the USO tour, please let me know either here or via PM. I'll keep a list and when June hits, I'll reconfirm with those interested and supply all the details on who I've been in contact with so those interested can book their own DMZ reservations.

We may be a possibility
 

Hi--Mr Flyertalker and I are thinking about either going to Seoul or another Asia venue during that time period so we are a maybe. If we attended, wee would be staying at a Hilton, possibly the Millenium Hilton. Is that too far from the action? I see most of you are staying at the Westin. If we went we would definitely be interested in the DMZ tours.

Thanks--Mary Anne.

:cool:

While most are staying at the Westin Chosun, I am actually staying Saturday night at the Millenium Hilton as well to maximize stays at both *W and Hilton.

The Millenium Hilton is just south of the Westin Chosun, but still north of the river.

When the DMZ tours are available for booking, I'll FYI you.

If you take a taxi, the fare should be a few US $. It's a subway station ride from each other on line 1.

Looks like the Korea biz trip may be postponed till next year but stay tuned... :(

so maybe this time to Korea for leisure ?:)

If I don't have any luggage really, are the Westin and Hilton Millenium within walking distance (20-30 minute walk) of each other ?

Hey, was that on new 77W flight?!

Sweet Willie! It's so nice to see the new Korea DO being planned! I am so sorry I couldn't organize the event as past couple of months have been really crazy for me... lots of traveling. Anyway, I am back in the US, but will be starting a job in BKK in September that would have me travel back and forth the US and BKK every month. I am, indeed, planning a trip back home to Korea sometime during my September visit to BKK for work so please count me in as interested. I will do my best to coordinate my schedule according to this.

If you need any help organizing, please do not hesitate to let me know! :)


By the way, I am moving to ORD area next week. Perhaps if you want to get together sometime, let me know.

I would consider the Hilton Millenium and Westin Chosun within walking distance of each other. It's not particularly close but I think 30 minutes would be a realistic time frame if you knew where you were going.

I recommend Intercontinental Hotel right next to COEX. It will give you greater access to city area with easy access to subway line no.2 .

I started a thread on Food in Seoul here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=683329

In this thread FT’er mosburger states:
Concerning Korean sashimi in Seoul, one could do worse than head for the giant Noryangin fish market. Basically you choose your fish and seafood at the market booths and then have one of the upstairs restaurants (24h) "cook" it.

The giant Noryangjin Fish Market is detailed on Fatman Seoul: http://fatman-seoul.blogspot.com/200...sh-market.html

I think this looks like a good spot for a dinner, thoughts ?

My thought is that once we finish going to HALF of the places listed in the Seoul "food thread" we'll not fit in our C-class seats on the way back! That makes me hungry just reading it!!!

Best, Dave

Do you have a list of definites and maybes yet? If so, I'm still on the maybe list, and might bring a friend. I'll know by the end of next month hopefully.

There is now, see post #1

Hope you and a friend can make it.
