Things to do while in Seoul: Part I

I found the following tip and link on the "Families Through Korean Adoption" blog in my city.  A new family submitted a few links to some of their "great finds" while in Korea.  They particularly enjoyed and recommended THE KYOBO BOOKSTORE in Seoul, and wrote the following: 
"If traveling to Korea, check out this great bookstore and make sure to visit their music, children's and foreign languages sections. This is a great place to stock up on children's books with Korean-looking characters that are often in English/Korean languages, and children's music sung by Korean children (our child's absolute favorite!)"

Oh, this is definitely going on my list! That looks right up my alley...

Also looks like a great place to browse with friends. ;-)

that sounds very cool - esp. the part with books with Korean looking characters. (good thing our family photo albums have a few of those too!!)
