If I get there I'll head down to <a href="http://www.jaunted.com/story/2007/7/6/6444/08623/travel/South+Korean+Island+Offers+Volcanoes+AND+Sex">Jeju Island</a>, a romantic spot off the south-west corner of the country. I hear it's sometimes overflowing with honeymoon couples but that seems to fit in well with a wedding trip anyway. </p><p>My hotel of choice (I've been tipped off by an insider) is <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Shilla+Jeju/ian/241579"><b>The Shilla, Jeju</b></a>, a resort on a 21-acre property on the cliff-top overlooking the Pacific. It only opened in 1990 and was South Korea's first 5-star resort. Sounds good so far, right? </p><p>My amandak 2008-05-23T09:10:01-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/4/29/11216/2595 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/metrohotelext.jpg" class="imgborder"><p>Have you heard about <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotels/city/kp/Seoul"><b>Seoul's</b></a> hotness? South Korea's hipper-than-thou capital is gaining street cred due to a recent opening of a 10 Corso Como, a Fashion Week growing quickly in international regard, and not to mention the popularity of Korean TV dramas around the world. <p>The development of Seoul as a sort of new Tokyo (albeit slightly more affordable) is creating a distinctive thirst among tourists and locals alike: for luxury and high design.<p> This is why, in a city where women wear high heels everywhere, the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Metro+Hotel+Myungdong/local/985"><b>Metro Hotel Myungdong looks</b></a> and feels so good.
