Seoul - must do's, do's and don'ts

[spudqueen]

Mr Spudqueen is off to Seoul in January on a business trip but has a couple of free days. He's a bit of a shy traveller, but are there any places he MUST see and any general do's and don'ts?

Walking around Seoul will give him plenty to do. It is a strange mix of traditional Korean, and stark concrete buildings.

At this time of year it will be *cold*, so he must be prepared to wrap up warm.

The food is great... as long as you like chili and garlic! It is quite possible to spend a couple/few days pottering around at random in Seoul, and having a great time. A city guide would give you a bit more of an itinerary....
