Korea Japan - What's Good???

DOR

Me & DJ Serious are doin' up Japan & Korea April 13TH. I'm going for 3 weeks while Serious will being doing HK & the mainland as well as seeing some of Malaysia for 2-3 months.We've both been to Japan, but not Korea.I think we'll just be hangin' in Seoul. What's a must to do there? Besides gettin done up with soju???Touristy stuff is fine...But mostly wondering on food, clothing/shoe spots, record stores & electronics. Dave's a photo freak as well. Anyone got an event or anything to check out???Side note:Raj - We need a travel section!!!

hey sno, do you remember the name of the store you went to in the uni district?
I remember going to one in that area, but it was CDs and new vinyl only...

It was called "Record Forum" or something, but there's nothing digging-worthwhile there. The places shown in your other thread are much much more promising.

The photos in my previous post is a bar styled after vintage Korean bars. The in house DJ would just pull the record off the shelf and play till the wee hours. I've been there for a few nights two years and they have plenty of heat in those record racks.

This is what's good:



No consensus how to spell it in English - Tok Bok Ki???

Sweet spicy thick noodles that defy description. Just eat em.

That stuff is so good. Seemed to be on every second street corner too.
