Namsan Hanok Village (남산골한옥마을)
or "A Village of Traditional Houses in the Namsan Valley."
or "Spring? Could it be?"
(Sorry, not feeling up for descriptions. Pictures are worth a few choice words though, I think someone said that once.)

Noryangjin Fish Market (노량진역)
Step 1: Arrive Noryangjin Station.
Step 2: Follow your nose (fish scent is what you're looking for...).
Step 3: Find a fish you like.
Step 4: Negotiate price (minimum discount you should settle for is 20% off asking price).
Step 5: Have fish sashimi'd.
Step 6: Go to restaurant (but don't agree to spicy fish bone soup OR the restaurant downstairs - rip off).
Step 7: Take customary "first-timer eating live octopus" video.
Step 7: Vow you won't be eating fish for at least a month.
Soon to be dinner.

Suwon (수원시) and Hwaseong Fortress (화성)
Went to visit my good pal Sean over the remainder of my 3-day weekend after a stint with Basement Jaxx Saturday night (sorry, no photos of that one).
Suwon is the fourth largest city in Korea with UNESCO World Heritage Site: Hwaseong Fortress (literally "Beautiful Castle/Fortress"). The fortress surrounds the center of Suwon and was built in the late 1700s by King Jeongjo for his late father. Story has it, Hwaseong was built to honor and house the remains of his father Prince Sado, who had been murdered by being locked alive inside a rice chest by his own father King Yeongjo after having failed to obey his command to commit suicide. Yikes.
