3. Places to eat?
Jennifer,
It would depend on what type of food you want to eat. I try to avoid meat, but here usually people eat together, not alone, in restaurant, and I sometimes have to eat pork and beef.
There are some food streets in Seoul, especially in Gangbuk (old town), where you can look food and sit in a chair to eat food. Keep in mind that red color means very spicy, but some foreigners do like spicy food. If you like sea food, there are various restaurant. Japanese tourists like sea food here, because the price is much cheaper than in Japan.
I heard one guy from the U.S. suffered here because he does not eat garlic. Virtually every dish here contains garlic, and his last resort was Kentucky Fried Chicken. If you are not adventurous, then you can look for McDonald, Pizza Hut and Domino pizza.
Also there are many internet sites on restaurants in Seoul:

They even try to contact me through international call. Also, I leave at least one credit card in the hotel room for the case I lose my wallet. When I once stayed in San Francisco, I lost my wallet, but I could use one credit card kept in the hotel room to get some emergency cash from ATM.
I am going to fly to Vancouver, Canada, tomorrow. It will be far colder than here and I have to pack up winter clothes.
