<p>Our two youngest children, our daughters, were both adopted from Korea. They are now 22 and almost 24 years old. They have been to Korea, older D once a few years ago for 5 weeks, younger D for several weeks each summer since high school graduation and she is now doing a language program in Seoul, post college graduation, so has been living there since September. The rest of our family has never been to Korea and finally some of us are planning a trip in June, when our daughter will be finishing her language program. We live in upstate NY. We will most likely drive to NYC and fly from there (unless someone here has a better/cheaper alternative?). I’m looking for any advice at all on this trip! We will fly into Incheon (Seoul) and spend at least a few days there while D finishes up her last term. We would like to travel around Korea a bit too, but aren’t sure how to do that since H does not think he wants to try to drive in Korea (he’s driven in Europe and cities like NYC and Boston don’t faze him, but he’s concerned about language in Korea. Should he be concerned? How is the driving in Korea? Can we rent a car there?). Any advice? Private tour operators in Korea? Any particular sights to see anywhere in Korea? Our D has several places in Seoul she wants to show us, as well as we hope to take a day trip to the DMZ, but otherwise we’re open to suggestions. Any advice on finding the cheapest airfares? We plan to leave here on about June 6th or 7th and return around the 19th of June (when D already has return flight scheduled-we do not plan to fly on the same flight with her necessarily since that may not be best cost now-we booked hers using Delta miles last summer). There will be at least 3 of us making the trip, possibly as many as 6, plus our D. Thanks for any advice at all!</p>
<p>I have not been there, but my D has been there two weeks (the start of a 1-year teaching stint). She is learning to get around via the subway system which she says is very easy as the system is well-designed. She walks to school every day. On her first day walking with other American teachers, she turned to one and said she had never seen so many cars running red lights! She said people drive crazy there and is sure there are no traffic laws whatsoever. lol</p>
<p>From upstate New York, you can also tack on a trip to Montr</p>
