I'm really glad this thread got bumped - I had very little money when I was in Korea and it's interesting to see all the stuff you can do if you have money.

Rekrul's right about Apgugeong and Kangnam and those places - that's where it's at. I went to the Circle club once and it was great, except I was stuck with a bunch of Korean American girls who didn't know how to have fun.

Itaewon is a fun place to go if you've already been in Seoul for a while because it's just shocking at that point to walk down the street and see so many non-Asian people. There's a bar there that has all this mahogany wood and looks exactly like a stereotypical New England old money sort of place ... I walked in and felt like I'd been transported back home instantly. Itaewon is also a good place to go if you're sick of Korean food and want a (really expensive) burrito or something.

That being said, I'd say the variety and quality of Korean food was definitely something that kept me going. Galbi is amazing, don't get me wrong, but there are so many other interesting dishes you can try, and even some good seafood ones. Insadong is a good place for that because there are all these super-traditional places that serve more unusual food. There are just so many delicious things to eat, and some of them are just as expensive as galbi, so why limit yourself?

The StarCraft matches are the best entertainment money can't buy (because they're free). The huge LCD screens, the hokey lighting and fog machines, the high school girls screaming ... you just can't find that anywhere else. Then afterwards you can chill outside the stadium and chat with the pro gamers and see them interacting with their fans and receiving gifts - it's great to realize that the faces you've seen in the VODs actually belong to normal human beings and not stuck-up demigods.

If you find a girl you like and want to do something a little quieter and more romantic together, there's this very artfully designed river that starts in the city center which is shielded from much of the noise and traffic of the city and is really a beautiful place to walk at night. Definitely one of my favorite parts of Seoul.

Next time I'm back there I'll have some money in the bank and eat lots more galbi and check out the bars and clubs rekrul talked about. And yeah, the white old-enough-to-be-sketchy English teacher guys are fucking pathetic.

Thanks so much for the bump, I actually missed this shit and it's downright awesome.

I'm trying to do about the same thing except it's in China since I speak the language ok, but it looks like this kind of girl-switching bars Rek speaks about don't exist there. Clubs are terrible because it's too loud to speak and I suck at dancing so it's basically gg no re. The best solution I've found out until now is to get invited to KTVs but it's pretty limited since I can only sing 3 songs or so and it's difficult to get invited EVERY evening when you don't know a lot of people yet.

But i'm pretty sure the legendary Path of the Night is universal, all I need is a chinese Rekrul to show me the way and I'm ready to watch my life go to waste.


i'm sorry but i'm pretty sure booking clubs are a korean phenomenon

This sucks. Korea should export its culture more. Especially this kind of culture.

--

About the asian girl fetish, imagine a world where all girls look beautiful to you and your only criteria is their brain. Sounds fucking ideal tbh. To me it's more of a blessing than a curse. One may argue that it's the blessing of idiocy and ignorance but hey, it's not like choosing a girl based on her bra size was the most clever thing in existence either. Not speaking about marrying butt-ugly girls ofc, but life is so much better when even the average girl looks very attractive to you. But this feeling progressively disappears anyway so even the fetichists are fucked in the long term and back to basics I guess. :/
