well one thing i know about korea is that every place has it's specialty in food. just like how america has like, the philadelphia cheese steak and carolina barbeque. its the same way in korea except since everything is so close, you actually have a chance to try all the different, unique foods that each area is known for.
if i make any mistakes, please someone more familiar with korea correct me. anyways, here goes:

1. jang choong dong jok bal (장충동 족발)
This is some of the finest jok bal you will ever have, well at least in my opinion. Now there's tons of places for jok bal in this area so you'll just have to try all the different ones to see which one you like best. good luck ^^

Hello fellow KoreanClass101 listeners!
I am finally returning to Seoul for a visit after 6 years! If any of you are living in Seoul, I'm hoping I could meet some of you face to face! We can have some 삼겹살 then go for a drink. 선현우씨도요! How about it?

남산 mountain

I even have a picture of me and my brother there back in the 80s. It's the only place I remember visiting when I was there last.

I love 안양 and 충주 lake...

As for food linked to a place, there is a kind of pastry that has the shape of nuts.
They sell it in Express Bus terminals and in the stations on the highway from Seoul to Mokpo. It is linked to 천안 or 청주 but I am not sure which city...
