Itinerary for a second visit to Korea
My wife and I recently finished showing my parents around Korea. My parents arrived Feb. 20 and left March 1. Our schedule was something like this:
2/20 - My parents arrived in the evening. We took them to our place and made them dinnner. Then we taught them how to play Go-Stop, a Korean card game.
2/21 - We went to Coex mall and Coex aquarium.
2/22 - We visited a vet in Pucheon who works for an animal rescue association, played with the stray dogs being taken care of, and went to Hyundai department store for some shopping.
2/23 - We flew to Cheju island, got settled into our room (the very mediocre Han Hwa resort), and had a pretty bad, overpriced meal in the hotel restaurant.
2/24 - We went to Sogwipo to visit Cheonjiyeon Waterfall, Wedolgae (a cliff with some intersting rock formations), the botanical gardens, and the Teddy Beear Museum, and then downtown for dinner and shopping.
2/25 - We went to Daepo Seashore (very cool uneven lava tubes), Jeju folk village, Michun cave (very disappointing), Sangumburi Crater, and Cheju city for dinner and shopping.
2/26 - We went to Oodo, an island with a black sand beach and a coral beach. Then we returned to Cheju to go to the very different shell museum. Then we flew to Chinju and had dinner.
2/27 and 2/28 - My parents have already done most of the tourist attractions in Chinju so we spent some time shopping in our favorite glasses store and playing Go-Stop.
2/29 - Back in Seoul we went to Duksoo Palace, Namdaemun market, and Seoul Tower (where we had a great view but some terrible food in one of the revolving restaurants).
3/1 - We dropped my parents off at the airport, came home, and took a nap.
As such, it is imperative you do not allow the dazzling pictures of the diamonds to blind you to wise shopping practices. Diamondphd has a collection of beautiful affordable diamond jewelry set in 18k gold. Ashford has come a long way since we began reviewing diamond sites in 1999 ipod-accessory-store com. We like the improvements in the search engine, especially in the sorting options offered. glamorousshopper com http://www.glamorousshopper.com/linkspage5.html
