I could do a travel guide on Seoul and its districts, but instead I'm going to tell you about the food.

It's good. And it's not like anything you've seen in the states. You know how you go to some countries and it's like, hey I had sushi but the sushi here is better b/c it's made by the people who invented sushi? Well, in Seoul, it's more like, wtf is this, wow I put it in my mouth, and omg it's good.

The best place to try snacks is the night market. Don't worry if you don't speak Korean because the vendors speak money. Just point to what they want, and ya they may try to rip you off, but its still cheap good food.

Koreans also love their octopus. You'll see restaurants specializing in octopus..note the octopus sign or tank full of octopi in front of the cafe. While they do serve it raw ala Fear Factor, most of the time you get some version of fresh saute or bbq small octopi, and it's so good.


Namdaemun Market is one of many night markets in central Seoul, and is accessible by subway
