What about a four hour eye lid surgery? Or, a four hour taxi ride when there is a demonstration.

What about a four hour eye lid surgery?

Or, a four hour taxi ride when there is a demonstration.

Considering that the market and restaurants are in operation through the night and into the early morning, it'll fit most any schedule. Linkd’s idea is good.

No way could you do that in one afternoon or evening. So what's a good plan? That's a puzzler, but for some folks (<a href="http://www.rjkoehler.com/2007/07/05/the-hercule-poirot-of-korea/" rel="nofollow">as Dram_man's noted</a>), a trip down to the Kangnam area for a visit to the optician seems to be popular.

They get to Seoul often enough that another "red ginseng chicken soup" restaurant is all the same. So I take them to sometimes literal holes the wall I know, short on fashion but long on secret insider feel. Hmm..four hours for a tourist...First would be people watching in Dongdaemun to get the hustle and bustle of Seoul. A walk along Chonggaechon to Chongno5-ga for a Udong shop for a light lunch. Back on the stream to Insa-dong for trinket shopping and gallery viewing ending with tea in one of the secluded tea houses in back. Also reminds me of what I do when I entertain business clients.

You will spend four hours in a taxi going between all those points given Seoul's traffic. Not the best way to see Korea. Sprew> No kidding.
