Mike;

Excellent idea. I would also condsider adding a rating to each as well as target group? Best time to visit if applicable, although the later could be placed in the description.

Can't forget this.

I believe it is one of the oldest fish markets in Korea.

I was down there wandering around when I was in Busan. The place is AMAZING, you can find almost anything there. Want it cooked? They will sit you down and cook it for you, fresh out of sea.

I'm sorry. It's Nami Island or Namiseom in Chuncheon. Not Chungju.

Anyone help me narrow this down to a top 10 list? That will be a good starting point. Personally, I would say these should be in the top 10.

DMZ Tour
Korean Folk Village
Korea War Museum

Hiking Soraksan Mountain
Lotte World
Everland
COAX Mall

Although it depends on your interest, I would consider the following:

Seoul Area
Bldg 63 or Yuk Sam Bldg. You will get a nice view of the Han river from the observation deck.

You may also consider a river cruise while you are in the area.

You will also have a nice walk along the Han, especially north side near the Yuk Sam bldg.

Namsan Park

Several bridges at night provide an awesome view. The one spanning the Pyeongtaek harbor is one of the best.

Just a suggestion;

I noticed some of the places mentioned use the colloquial or Korean name. One may want to consider providing a brief synopsis and the geographical area where these are located.

categorize the places will be the best

i agree with hiker, it's better to put the activities in each category since evrybody has different interests. so far, the places in the list sounds good to me, it actually give me more idea for my next adventure trip. i have my notes back at my room (since i'm in the library right now) on how to get to places, but i'll probably post it later on, when the final list is posted.
