This would be our first trip there so we need some advice on where to live. What we're looking for now is a place we can rent for about 1 month in the months june/july. We'd like something affordable, and somewhere close to a subway so we can get into town. If any teamliquid members would like to hang out that would also be awesome! :p. So can anyone give us some advice on taking a vacation in Korea?  | ||

I am assuming you are white, so you will get raped by mosquitos. Monsoon season is the worst as it is just hot and humid, and fucking sucks cock. But on the brighter side Food is great, girls are hot (if you are in the right part of town), and the subway is so easy to use. Can't really help you with the place because I usually stay with family. | ||

Yeah rain sucks quite a bit, but I'm sure we can whip out SC2 if the need arrives :p. What we really are looking for is the place to stay. Most places are fairly expensive, and the cheaper ones usually don't have any inventory. I looked at this site: http://www.nicerent.com/ But couldn't find anything decent. | ||

However, the biggest problem I enocuntered, when surfing through various places for rent on korean web sites, is that most appartments are not rented on a short term basis, regardless the price. So I guess motels/hotels are the most suiting option for us. The prices for regular appartments, even furnished ones, are not that bad. The problem is of course the short duration of our stay. We'd stay longer if we could though  Anyway, we seek something in the price range of $1000-$1500 per person. I don't really know if this is expensive or not in Korea, but I guess it's about as expensive as here in Norway, and that means we aren't gonna get far with only $1500 each. I'd definately go out and earn some extra cash before summer if someone has a fully/semi furnished place for us, even if it's pricy ^-^ Bottom line is, we need roof above our heads, and some walls to keep the possible monsoons and mosquitoes out. Speaking of monsoons and weather, I don't really care if it rains or not. Of course it would be quite depressing if we had to chain ourselves to the nearest pilar, to avoid being drowned by a monster tsunami or thrown into the air by a gigantic hurricane. Whenever the sun shines, we can go shopping, do some sightseeing, chat with the locals and enjoy life. However, we're probably gonna spend a lot of time indoors, so the weather isn't that big of a deal ;D We don't know exactly when we will go, but because of university and stuff, it's most likely gonna be in June/July. Meeting other starcraft fans (I bet there's a lot of them over in Korea ) would be awesome. So if any foreign TL-members (or koreans ofc. :D) are in Korea this summer, give us a pling pling. Maybe we can meet up, eat some snackaroo and do something exciting together | ||

Maybe you should split it up. Sometime in Korea, Japan, and China or even South East Asia. Would be a better experience compare to your one month Seould plan. | ||
