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.

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.

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