I'm surprised there isn't a Korea General. Should we get one started?Give tips for traveling in South Korea.
>>2875819Korea is just Japanese Canada.
>>2875819>I'm surprised there isn't a Korea General.If you stay long enough on /trv/, you'll find it's not surprising at all. The few Korea threads we do get eventually devolve into shitposts that either hate the country or shill Japan instead.The only Asian countries that are popular on /trv/ are Japan, Thailand, and Philippines.
>>2875819As someone who has a softspot for under dogs, and liked Korea since seeing Taegukgi and blowing up North Korean monuments in Mercenaries on the PS2 with the infinite airstrike glitch. I honestly don't know why a dude would go who wasn't sent by work or stationed by the military. Women have K-Pop and K-Dramas to explain why they might go. South Korea is the middle child of East Asia. China and Japan will absorb the bulk of Western tourists. North Korea is a meme I guess, so it will always attract a certain type of tourist.Outside of the Korean bbq, the local cuisine is an acquired taste. I mean I know dudes happily living there. They've married a local, and they are far removed from foreigners in way most Japanese gaijin can only dream of. But it's a mystery to me how they ended up there. Most foreigners living there quickly move on to Japan or SE Asia.My tip for Seoul is go to Hongdae. Eat lots of samgyeopsal, drink lots of Cass and Soju.https://www.tiktok.com/@lendsyyyy/video/7621246955993173279
>>2875819Korea is a useless place to go when China and Japan exist
it isn't as shilled on social media or geared towards tourists so its an authentic experience when you are there. It's like how you would have experienced Japan before it became popular and was still obscure.
