Hello!

So on the 28th of this month, I'll be boarding my flight to Korea. It's my country of birth but I haven't lived there since I was 4 and I have no idea how to do anything or how to go anywhere there. I'll be there for around two months and I'm looking for stuff to do while I'm there.

Obviously, Starcraft events (especially Brood War) are the ones I really want to go to. I haven't been to any live and if I get on camera (unlikely since I look like just another Korean), I'll hold up a poster with TL user's names on it (now accepting requests).

My Korean is lacking so I want to go to this Star Final Six event but I'm not sure if I need to be a citizen or something to go, considering they have the ID and everything.

Also, other than that, I'd like to know just some other cool places I can head to. And if anyone lives in Korea, it'd be great to have a meetup. I'll be around the Gwangju area so I can head to Seoul pretty easily I imagine. Hit me up and we'll set up a time/place (Though I'll have to google maps it probably).

Also, I'm going to Japan for 3 days later in the trip. If anyone knows any cool places to go around Tokyo (other than Akihabara), let me know

Be careful about the SK nationality law. Otherwise the only place you''ll be visiting is the inside of a barracks.

Yep, don't have citizenship anymore. I'm all good. (Even if I had citizenship, I'm underweight so I'd be excused from service)

what kind of stuff are you into besides starcraft?

looking for shopping areas?
good (food here)?
kpop?

was in the same situation as you 5 years ago and went to korea every year since. dunno about this year tho

I'd like to go shopping for some stuff. Anime/General Otaku related items are high priority. I've heard there's some great cosplay stores for cheap as well.

Not really into KPop at all.

Food is always nice. I eat Korean food every day already though so it's not really something I'd be too keen on going out to eat every day. Though I'll definitely get some Jajangmyun delivered.

Shopping I guess you could go to 명동 (shopping district) or 신도림 (shopping malls). Lots of restaurants there as well. If you're into electronic stuff, you could go to 용산, but actually its usually cheaper to buy in US (from what I've heard).

If you want to know where to buy good meat, ask Flash. He used to spend most of his savings on it.
