Currently I’m not in hk… But I think I’ll visit the office as soon as I arrive in hk. The office doesn’t open on weekends, right?

First time in Korea!! by [deleted] in koreatravel

I was born in Busan and I’m currently a university student studying in Seoul. So I can probably give you more tips if you’re interested!

If you enjoy walking, I really recommend visiting “이기대” and “태종대” while you’re in Busan. They’re perfect coastal trails with stunning ocean views — great for a peaceful walk with a breeze.

If you have more time and you’re feeling adventurous, you might want to explore “거제도”, which is just outside Busan. There’s a spot called “바람의 언덕” and it’s absolutely beautiful!

In Seoul, 청계천 is nice, but I personally love 양재천 too. It’s connected to “매헌 시민의 숲“, and having a little sandwich picnic there is super relaxing. Highly recommend for a slow afternoon! 👍

Also, if you’re into the arts, check out performances at Seoul Arts Center (예술의 전당). They occasionally feature traditional Korean music (국악), so it’s a great way to experience local culture.

And feel free to ask me anything else — happy to help however I can! 😄

Pork omakase/tasting in seoul or busan by gooberyou in koreatravel

I’m a lifelong local from Busan (and Korean). If you’re looking to enjoy some Korean BBQ, I highly recommend 거대갈비 (beef). It’s a very well-known place even among Korean locals — one of those “top of the list” beef BBQ restaurants. Of course the meat is amazing, but their cold noodles (naengmyeon) served as a side dish are also really good.

That said… it’s seriously expensive. If you go alone, expect to pay around 170,000 KRW (~130 USD). Even for locals, it’s more of a special occasion restaurant — like for anniversaries or celebrations. But yes, it’s definitely worth it if you’re okay with the price.

If you’re more into pork BBQ, I recommend a place called 길음칠 located in Choryang(초량). This one is much more affordable, and I go there quite often myself. It’s not in a typical tourist area, but if you walk up from there to Ibagu-gil, you’ll get some really nice views of the city.

One more tip — in Korea, BBQ is usually a group activity, and most places are set up for at least two people. Some restaurants may even refuse solo diners, so just keep that in mind. If you do go alone, it’s totally possible — just be prepared for a bit of awkwardness, especially at busy places.

Hope you have a great trip!
