Seoul: 10 things to do in 24 hours

[matthew254]

only got a day to visit Seoul? here's a to-see list per a TIME magazine article. HT to the marmot's hole.

I saw that earlier, and I don't really understand how you can do all of that in 24 hours.. I mean we're talking city bus tour, 종로, etc. Still a good article though.

I don't get why Itaewon is on that list.

A very good article , although I don't understand how anyone could do it within 24 hours, either ^_^

I guess it's possible, but you have to fit things in the night as well...

I don't get why Itaewon is on that list.

Itaewon is only "fun" when you've been in Korea long enough to be "shocked" that all of a sudden in Itaewon the "foreigner" percentages triples (or more) haha

It was also weird to see a real kebap place in Seoul. I mean we have endless kebap places anywhere in Germany but in Korea it's sort of different

BTW, number 10 is the best on the list: FOOOOOOOD hehe

Haha. Well, it's funny... I took a friend there who was visiting Seoul for the first time, and he was like, "Uhh... ok. This looks a little seedy. Let's go somewhere else." And then I went with a Korean friend (who grew up in Seoul), and he was slightly more impressed, only because to him, it seemed much more different than any other part of Seoul.
