Hi all, just thought I'd poll the TL community for some thoughts and ideas

I'm travelling through Seoul soon, very briefly on one way (from 6pm till 10am the next morning) and then longer the other way (about 4 days I think).

I know there are a lot of people around the place who have experience in Seoul, so I'd like to hear if anyone has suggestions on what to do, where to stay, good things to try, starcraft or general. Cultural tips, anything really.

I love korean food and I do taekwondo, so having a look at stuff related to those two things as well as esports would be awesome. If there's any good places to do some cheap, good quality shopping that would be great too.

The longer stopover will be the first few days of march, so if there are any foreigners living in Seoul who want to hang out with a jetlagged aussie for a bit, I'm keen :D

I've never been, but my Korean buddy always says we should go see some of the super old temples and stuff like that. Other than that you definitely need to go see some pro matches.
Wahaha

wow Nesserev, quality post!. I might reference this post for whenever other people ask about korea.

Also, check out Jamsil World Mall if you want to do indoor shopping. The Jamsil area has a lot of things to see indoors.

I know a lot of cool hostels in seoul (also in the area mentioned above).
For recommendations about these give me a PM.
Also you'll notice that there's LOTS of wifi everywhere.
If you like craft beer, there's the hidden track pub in Dongdaemun and the "the table" which I used to be a waiter at.
"The table" is right next to the jonggak station which is also in the jongro area.
As someone mentioned above, the secret garden in Changgyeonggung is amazing, you have to see the beautiful lake there!
There is was too much to do over there I spent 6 weeks and it wasn't nearly enough ㅠ.ㅠ .
other people turn around and laugh at you - if you say - that these are the best days - of their lives. - Blur

Thanks very much for the suggestions guys, particularly Nesserev. Even with your stipulation I'm flattered :D That'll be very, very helpful I'm sure.

What's the english speaking culture like over there? I'm going to try and learn Hangul and I'm actually pretty familiar with a lot of basic spoken korean, commands, greetings and thanks, a lot of food related stuff as well (taekwondo and cooking to thank for that, respectively). Still, that won't get me through everything, I think. Are most signs exclusively in Hangul, or do they have english stuff around touristy areas?
