Wow, I wish I knew about this thread beforehand, seeing as how i'm leaving korea tomorrow :(

I did get to visit a few places though, DongDaeMoon and Coex with my cousin. COex is INCREDIBLY crowded, like i've never seen before. And even at 2 AM at night Dongdaemoon is alive and kicking. Theres like literally traffic on the streets at 3AM when we were leaving. :blink:

Becasue everyone else has already named where you should go, my only advice for you is, if you know someone in korea, hang out with them because especially if they have guy friends, its incredibly fun to just hang out as if you were in america. Like go watch a movie, eat, eat, eat, go drink, etc. You notice cultural differences and you have fun. Korean people really drink a lot :excl: my cousin's friend just literally drinks everyday. they just call up all of their friends and drink and its incredible. Have fun :]

OOOH, also dont forget to go to Norebang. Soo awesomely fun :w00t:

i wish i didn't have to go :tears:

-get up greet the hotel employees and buy energy drinks for the front desk manager, the cute receptionist and the door man and saying thanks & sorry about last night.

-get a cab again to gang-nam yuk to get a hae-jang gook with friends.

Haha im like 10min from you in 순룽 , im here for an internship too which ends at the end of this month

in korea there isn't much to do except drink and club at night

during the day just sight seeing and shopping

eating is always good too, sometimes its fun just to walk down side streets see what they have and buy some food from the street vendors etc

its so hard to get a good meal everything the portions are so small even at burger king. their salads are teeeeeeeeeeeeny. i just want something healthy and fulfilling that doesnt cost a whole lot of $$$$$$$

i went to subway and got a roast beef sandwich and seriously it was a foot long but they only put like 4 slices of roast beef WTF!? in the states they PILE it on

I'm only 18, well going on 19 right now and that makes me legal in Korea which is great. HAHA. I look really young so they do card me, but then I'm legal - so I think that's a good age to go! I went to Korea alone, joining an international study type of program. It's a GREAT way to meet a bunch of great people :) I've made lots of friends here, haha, always busy. I'm staying at a Ha Suk (lodging house) right now, and it's cheap and pretty convenient. It costs me about $25 per night with breakfast and dinner provided, but it really depends. My plane ticket was free because I had Air Miles :) So I'm not really sure about that. Sorry! Hope I've answered all your questions :)

only $25/night? wow...that's pretty cheap. do they have a website or any contact info? i'm going to korea next month and i'm planning on staying at namsan guest house. it's like $40/night. so it'll be better if i can find something cheaper so i can stay longer hehehe :phew:

i've been to korea 4 times but i had no luck in bumping into celebs >.< hope i meet some celeb this time!

FAVORITES IN SEOUL:

areas to hang out: Myeong-dong, Sinchon, Hongdae

bars: Zen 2 and Zen 3, both which are in Sinchon.

The best place where I got soju cocktail was at Zen 3. Order the apple flavor!

when you go shopping they follow you around. it's really annoying. i hate it.

they really want you to buy their product that badly -_-

and you never have to pay tip in korea!! not at restaurants or taxi.

(i love this. american should be the same way.)

so if you share taxi with friends its actually pretty cheap!!

but bus and subway is more convenient.
