Hello ladies,
I would like to ask your comments with regards to the itinerary I have drafted below. please also let me know if the directions i indicated are correct. It will be our first time in Seoul this November. We are 7 in our group, 5 adults (2 are seniors) and 2 kids ages 8 and 6.
Would also like to know some recommended restaurants/ fastfood where there are food choices for kids or foods that are not spicy. My kids are pick-eaters kase. Lotteria is okay with us but I don't know saan ko sya isisingit sa itinerary namin, preferrably kung saan may malapit doon sa mga pupuntahan naming lugar.
