I took a short trip to Seoul at past Jan. Here is my opinion: Insa Dong ( 인사동 ) is a pretty cool place for foreigners, because you could try the traditional dessert(cookie/cake) & tea over there. And there are alot of Korean restaurants in the ally. If you like to be crowd, Myeong Dong & Ap-gu-jang (sorry I might spell it wrong) would be a choice for you. Both places like the shopping areas and selling the trendy stuffs. My suggestion is, you don't need to use too many Korean phases to communicate but you need to know the "food name" or "type of food" on the menu. Because most of the Korean restaurants, they don't speak English! I don't know when will you travel to Korea and here is a site I think it might help you. http://www.visitkorea.or.kr/intro.html Have a safe trip!

Wecome to Korea! :-) I recommend you to visit 삼청동 area so that you can watch and feel very korean styles. and you can also visit 인사동 with walking for a few minutes from there. There are many foods in 인사동 - 광교(around 청계천) - 시청 line. If you want more informations, feel free to contact me. Have a good trip!
