Oh you really have to go to Myeong Dong! For really great shopping for fashion trends while Namdaemun is for traditional stuffs and more for senior clothing. Wear comfortable shoes, you will need to climb lots of stairs from the underpass!

The City of Seoul is fantastic. It is well organized. It is easy to find our way in the subway. People are charming, quick to help you out and so disciplined. Transportation is not expensive.
The food is delicious but expensive in the hotels. So do not hesitate to go out for lunch and dinner. There are restaurants for all taste.
In Seoul many people speak basic English to high proficiency.
I do not speak a word of Korean and not a lot of people speak English outside Seoul but we can always manage with a good map and a dictionary. In Seoul almost all the street names are written in our alphabet.
So enjoy yourself in Seoul!

You can get around easily via the subway. It is only 700 won per ride if you are travelling within the city.
If you plan to visit Everland, take the express bus at Central City. Do not go for the alternative route from Suwon station, that will take you 2+ hrs from Seoul City to reach Everland!

Try to stay at Seoul city areas like Dongdamon and Namdadom. Food - be prepared except that there is not much to choose from. Most shops will either sell ginseng, chicken soup, hash rice, hotplate or steamboat.

Shopping is one of the best reasons to visit Seoul. At the heart of Dongdaemun are Migliore, Doosan Tower etc. and you can find lots of stylish clothes and accessories there. Womenfolk will love it.

I recommend visit at Namdaemun Shopping Street. The souvenir items are really cheap. Seoul is generally clean. It's easy to go around from place to place as long as you carry a map. You will hardly get lost if you just follow the lines of the subway. The Good Morning Tour is okay. The black limo taxi is more expensive than the gray or white ones. If you can't find an English-speaking Korean to ask for directions, then don't. Koreans who don't understand English won't be able to help you anyway and they usually give the wrong sign language. The map is more reliable. Also take the River cruise at night to see Seoul's 27 bridges wonderfully decorated with multicolored lights. We went into a Korean Restaurdant at back of the hotel where nobody can speak English. We had to point our orders (good thing they have pictures!) and do sign language. It was rather difficult and nobody showed us how to eat the food. It's quite different from our usual food. We figured out anyway on our last day of tour when we went into a restaurant of similar kind and a lady was kind enough to demonstrate to us how to eat their authentic Korean food.
