Stopover in Seoul

Currently planning my movements for the stopover in Seoul. From what I can gather my best bet will be to go to sleep early in the hotel Korean Air puts me up in for the night (most likely the Hyatt at the airport) and take a Limousine bus to Insadong in Seoul fairly early the next day (about $30,000won return, which is roughly AUD$30) and check out the food etc and make sure I'm back at the airport at about 3:30 - 4:00 for check in. Realistically I only have about 6 hours there but so I'm just going to hit the tourist district as wandering around a non english speaking country can be confusing and disorienting and not a good idea when you have a plane to catch later in the day.
I am budgeting for about 100,000 won in Cash for the day and anything I may want to buy, food is fairly cheap at around 5,000 (but realistically I'm going to be disciplined about buying things this time around as I need to carry them around in a backpack) I can use credit for, that way I won't be left madly trying to spend excess cash.
Should be fun, I think I'll just end up spending my money eating lots of awesome Korean food.
