Our Taekwondo dojang is planning a trip to Korea the last week of November. What can we expect as far as weather goes? We will be in Seoul and Busan. When we are not in the host dojangs training, what would be the "must-see" places while in those cities?
Thanks.

Also, obviously Grand Master knows Korean and will be around but with a group of us not always available, will not knowing much Korean be a big problem?

The weather will be the same as the northern part of the United States starting to get cold you could have some snow that time of the year.
Places to see: You will want to see the Olympic Village in Seoul.
Go to the open market for great deals on items that are made in Korea (shoes,cloths,baseball gloves Etc..) Have fun......

The last week of November is usually pretty chilly, so pack some warm clothes. When you're in Seoul, you should go to Insadong market - that's the top spot for Korean folk crafts, snacks and other interesting stuff. (Great for Christmas presents!) If you have a free day, you might consider the Seoul City Tour. It costs about $10, and you can hop on or off the bus at any stops that interest you. It also has running English commentary. Sorry, I don't know much about Busan though.

elderly sixteen-North Korea have caught nuclear warheads on their ballistic missiles, yet we don't understand how a ways they are able to bypass. Kim Jong-Un is a extremely new chief-extremely, he's probably not even working the country, he's probably in simple terms the face at the back of all of it-so he's probably like a canines, attempting to declare his dominance, exceptionally with Park Geun-hye, the recent president of South Korea. As they are the two new, like I stated, probably protecting dominance. it is provided that Kim Jong-Un tries an attack we ought to continuously be frightened. Am I genuine?

By November expect it to be cold especially during the early morning, and late nights.
If you ever plan on going to shopping for clothes, go to Myong-dong (명동). A lot of awesome stuff there, even Japs go there just for shopping. You can go there easily from a subway, and it should cost like less than 1500 won.

Seoul is cold. but don't bother bring Parker, instead get one from Seoul, for they have plenty good one to choose from.
Busan is warm. never snow.
I am sure your master have things planed out for you in your short trip. I'll just stick with group.
Have pepto-bismol handy.
It will help enjoy your time there.
