Here's a short list of some places I've explored:
I met up with a friend from high school teaching near Seoul to go to the Seoul National Museum. It detailed some of the history and prehistory of Korea, Singaporean art, private collections, and Buddhist statues.
Made famous by the song, Gangnam is a pretty nice, expensive area with lots of shopping malls, stores, and restaurants. There's much less dancing, fewer horses and stables, and less colorful attire than I was ever expecting.
I've also been to Itaewon, which is kind of the foreigner or American district. There are lots of American restaurants there and shopping advertised for "Big Clothes" (aka anything above an Adult M). I'm still working out whether I have to make a shift up in clothing sizes to compensate for general Korean smallness, but typically buy an XL just to be sure it'll fit. This tower is on a mountain near Itaewon, and I'll try to explore there before I go home.
