On the southern side of Jeju Island, lies the Seogwipo Maeil Olle Market (서귀포매일올레시장). Though not as large and flashy as the Dongmun Market, I certainly wouldn't just write it off.

Every winter, an ice skating rink is set up right outside of City Hall in Seoul. Skating at the Seoul Plaza Ice Skating Rink (서울광장 스케이트장) is one of the most anticipated activities of the season and rightfully so. Not only do you get to enjoy a winter sport right in the middle of the city, but it'll only set you back 1,000 KRW per person (roughly 0.75 USD).
