Let’s have a thread for tips and tales of traveling South KoreaPrevious thread:https://archive.4plebs.org/trv/thread/2875819/
>>2920175How to Koreans feel about South Asians? I will be a student there or in Japan this coming semester.
Here’s my question, how is Busan?People on Reddit say it’s more relaxed than Seoul and the people there are nicer to foreigners.
>>2920177Its pretty good
>>2920177People were nicer in Daejeon and Daegu, it's not more relaxed in Busan. They got that perception from watching an old kdrama. Within Korea the people of Busan are known for their criminality more than anything
>>2920177I was going to ask, what are the best neighborhoods for nightlife there. Like what’s here equivalent to Hongdae?
inb4 "Korea sucks, I'd rather go to Japan"
>>2920177Depends on the time of year, if you're looking for fall/winter it's pretty bad. Summers can be fucking brutal, honestly if I was going to be that far south I'd just skip and do Jeju. In terms of being relaxed? not sure, they are just more open to foreign trade since that's what it's always been. Relaxed as in not caring about foreigners? Maybe? but Seoul is so big you really gotta try to be a bother
>>2920215Texas street is the default answer, not much going to compete with Hongdae south of Daegu.
>>2920217Honestly the way Japan is going (trying to kick out all foreigners or severely restrict them), Korea might be the only choice for awhile.
>>2920246Korea has more distinct seasons than Japan. While summers are hot and humid, like in the tropics, winters are colder than in Northern Europe due to the influence of Siberian cold air masses.
>>2920719>Honestly the way Japan is going (trying to kick out all foreigners or severely restrict them),nice headcanon
>>2920175Korea is just discount Japan in terms of culture but now Japan is cheaper to visit. No reason to visit Korea. The food is worse than Japan. The language is worse than Japan. The anime is worse than Japan's. The society is worse than Japan's.>>2920176They love them, you'll fit right into Korean "culture".
>>2920783korea has hotter women and japan is flooded with scum of the earth weebs and jeets. anime is for children
>>2920785>Hotter womenBefore or after surgery? No thanks. I want my future hapa children to actually look like their mother in some meaningful way.Also Koreans judge you off what backpack you carry. Truly pathetic people
>>2920799>Before or after surgery?both>Also Koreans judge you off what backpack you carry. Truly pathetic peopleonly if you're ugly
>>2920764While that Siberian cold air mass brings dry, cold air to South Korea, it arrives in Japan after drawing in large amounts of moisture from the Sea of Japan. As it encounters the mountain ranges that run like a backbone across Honshu, it drops heavy snowfall on the Sea of Japan side. As a result, many of the world’s cities with the heaviest snowfall are located in Japan.
>>2920175Why would anyone go to Korea at this point willingly? China or Japan are right there and offer vastly better experiences than knock off Korea could ever hope to.>JapanCheaper now, clean, high quality food, tourism industry, hotels and spas top in the world, amazing hiking, friendly people, real culture>ChinaAmazing infrastructure, closed off from normies, great food, incredibly large country to explore, frieldny people, real cultureMeanwhile Korea has what? Angry people stuck in slavelike conditions all competing for 1 spot. You get judged for everything if you don't look or dress exactly the same as everyone else. Wow great "culture". Food is bad and knock off versions of Japanese or Chinese dishes. Even their beloved "Korean BBQ" is better in Japan or China. The people are vindictive, jealous, angry, cult-like, and poor.
>>2920809Japan just does it better.>>2920806Cope. If you need surgery to look good, then you don't look good
>>2920177Just go south of Busan a few hundred miles and you'll be in a much better place.
>>2920812>The people are vindictive, jealous, angry, cult-like, and poor.stay with your pedo cartoons uggo lmao. >china>frieldny people, real culturetop kek>>2920814le ebic samurai nyaaaaaaaa :33333 XD
>>2920812Korean male idols are captivating Western women.
>>2920987Lmao imagine thinking that's real. It's about as real as their current face.
>>2920987It's impressive how every Korean has had the same penis/bowlcut haircut for the past 10 years. You can spot Korean tourists from a mile away anywhere in the world because they're all identical clones.
I've been to every region ask me anything about it or living there or language questions
>>2920176They look down on them, consider them people who do lower jobs and are dumb and dirty, but don't really say much aloud>>2920177No way that is true, they're not nicer at all>>2920719Japan is trying to prevent foreign takeover and Korea feels the same exact way, there's just not a current propoganda machine against Korea right now >>2920809Hokkaido represent >>2920812Maybe East Asia light reading and writing wise, they'll be literate a lot faster if that's the goal Korea winsTravel wise I'd recommend Gangwon, Chungcheon, Jeolla, and Jeju
>>2921000>>2920799Are there villages where you can meet non-bogged girls?How is the ski season?>The people are vindictive, jealous, angry, cult-like, and poor.Is this true?Is Korea a place to visit for solo white man?
>>2921036How easy are Korean women if you’re a white man? What’s the best city in Korea for finding a WMAF relationship?
>>2921118JBW, every city.The people hating Korea are most likely non Whites.
>>2920217But korea does suck.
>>2920175once upon a time white men would go there to coom. But don't think that's possible now except for 7+, chads, or twinks.
>>2921118Pretty easy,
>>2921240nah.white guys always get the ugliest asian chicks. it's hilarious. the japs even have a word for it - pocahontas.
>>2921249kek
>>2921230it is amazing how far you can go with personality and a willingness to go outside. you sould try it.
>>2921036Are you from the states? I ask to get context for the next questionsWhich place still feels the most other worldly to you? Anywhere still magical? Which place is the least receptive to blacks and browns, while being friendly or indifferent to whites?Without regards to touristy stuff, which place has good hangout culture? You know, just go somewhere and strike up conversationsIf someone, >doesn't like eating meat or oily greasy food>doesn't drink or do drugs>doesn't care about tourist shit on google maps>likes coffee>enjoys 90s vibes (80s and 70s are even better) >has a full piggy bank>likes to walkwhere would you suggest going?

>triggered the poorfag
>>2921250>>2921249>The jeet poster posting BBC videos again.
>>2920177it is much smaller than seoul and not really comparable to each other. the actual visitable part of busan are much much fewer than seoul. i don't know where you are from so will just use a UK comparison, but it is like comparing being in london and being in edinburgh. i can't comment on how the koreans react because i have never met a rude korean. i stayed in busan 2 months.
>>2921266Every single one of those would best be answered with "China"
>>2920215Kyungsung or by PNU is somewhat comparable although more of the clubs are in Haeundae. Seomyeon in and around by Lotte is also a good time. Gwangalli Beach for the strip at night is my favourite with the bridge lit up, seafood market on one end, and restaurants, and a bars the rest of the length. Do not list to the LOL Texas Street BS as that is just a few crap bars with Filipina Girls trying to convince you to pay out the ass for a bottle of lager. There is really not much of them there and they are crap. As for those asking, Busan has way more soul from its Korean War experience with villages up in the mountains that are worth wandering. The famous art one is pretty nice. The coastline also has a bit of a vibe. On Yeongdo they fixed up a bit of a coastal walk to turn into a cafe zone along what was a nice neighbourhood walkway along a craggy seaside. The Taejoeongdae cliffs are also quite nice for a day time walk. Hiking in general is also really good there if you are into that with a lot of mountains inside the city and are easily accessible. You also need to get yourself a bowl of Daejigookbap while you are there as it is a local specialty.
>>2921384romanization is so cringe
>>2921384This was my experience as well, very interesting how they turned slums into cultural art villages . It goes to show the character of the Korean people . In the west we see the opposite as blacks move into Detroit or Peruvians take over lima, beautiful buildings crumble>As for those asking, Busan has way more soul from its Korean War experience with villages up in the mountains that are worth wandering.
