My family and I are going on a 3-day trip to South Korea and I have some questions. -Where do you recommend we go and sightsee? -Where should we stay? My dad is contemplating between those traditional Korean houses (I think they're called guesthouses) we can stay in or a reasonably priced hotel. We haven't got one booked yet since he's still deciding. How much would they cost? -How will we communicate with the people when we don't know the language? -Should we book one of those tour things, where they show you certain spots around the city and translate things for you? I thought this was a good idea at first, but those tour things are usually on a tight schedule and go strictly only to the places they are assigned to. -How do we navigate around? Korea is so different from America. It's kinda confusing. The subway system and streets also confuse me. -Is the Korean currency similar to American currency? The exchange rate? -Where should we eat?

Is it dangerous to travel South Korea if I don't have Korean look and speak Korean language? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/24/racist-monkey-ad-the-africa_n_4156053.html My friends (both white) were intimidated without particular reasons when they were the Capital. (one guy was hit when he told he did not smoke to a girl who works the cigarette promotion in the street. I remember that Korean shop owner shot a black child in LA many years ago.

Is the language spoken/written in North and South Korea like the English spoken/written in USA and UK?

Why does North Korea and South Korea not follow the same economic system?

I want to travel to South Korea, maybe Seoul but I'm not sure. Here's a few facts: I traveling with my mother and 2 younger siblings We either going to be in Seattle, Washington or Portland, Oregon or California. Not sure at this time I want something cheap, safe, and nice Hotel/Motel with swimming pool would be nice. Something close to stores, restaurant, and transportation What place are good to stay in? I would do jimjilbang/hostel but I'm going with family. What is the best and cheapest time to go? What websites are good to get a package deal? or what airline to take? What city should I stay in? Best hotels/motels? or any other ideas? What do when I get there? Any fun ideas? What not to do? I'm only going to visit the country for a week or so. I do plan to move in the future. I have my personal and professional reasons but for now I just want to go for pleasure and learn more about the culture and its people.
