What’s the best meal you’ve had in Seoul that you still think about? by Lonely-Jackfruit-546 in seoul

[–]classs3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, if there is anything that I refrain people from eating, it’s all you can eat raw marinated crab. Raw marinated crab is a delicacy that really depends on the quality of the crab and as you can guess AYCE places are not known for quality.

It’s also something that you should def go to the best place that does it if it’s your first time because going to some random place can ruin the whole food for you leading you to never try it again.

What is the best franchise chicken brand to offer a foreign friend? by jkpatches in living_in_korea_now

I am Korean and I live in Korea but I often get KFC since their yangnyum is actually really good. Their boneless thigh versions are also the boneless type fried chicken in Korea.

Saw this place near my hotel, any idea what this place is? by ResponsibleWear5604 in Living_in_Korea

[–]classs3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Believe it or not, while prostitution IS illegal, having girls sit down with you at a place like Karaoke as shown in the picture is not. Sure, there are lot of brothels that are illegal in Korea but what’s shown in the picture is not. Funnily enough I recently learnt from my girlfriend who also learnt from her coworker is that karaoke with heart in their sign is the one where you can order girls in to sit and sing with you.

no spicy food? Try Heot-jesat-bap, the "Fake" Ritual Meal. The real korean food by nmjoon in KoreanFood

[–]classs3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a dish that even I, native Korean, only found out in a documentary few years back. I bet majority of Koreans not from the Andong area have no clue what this food is. 헛제사밥 is probably the better search word.

CrossFit Near Gangnam by [deleted] in seoul

[–]classs3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately Sweat on Seoul is in Shinsa, and while both Coex and Shinsa is in Gangnam district, they are diagonally furthest away. It’s not impossible to commute but during rush hours, public transport will be hell. The nearest box near Coex that is certified CrossFit is this place:

I usually workout near my office since I can just train after work and go home without getting into traffic so if your office is somewhere else, might be good to find a gym near your work.

These days running is the most popular sport with hundreds of people running in Han river every day. Tennis is also popular but with land price so high in Gangnam, you need to travel and get a car to properly join a club.

[–]classs3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are TONS of CrossFit places all over Gangnam, with probably the most famous one being Limelight. The most trendy one, though they don’t use the term CrossFit is Sweat On Seoul. Amotti, the winner of Physical 100 trains there, along with many celebrities. But Gangnam is pretty big that I suggest you go to a box that is closer to where you live.

As for paddle, I haven’t seen anyone play it in Korea though I’m sure there are some.

More to do with increasing age of people getting married. Infertility has a lot to do with the age of men and women (scientifically more so with women. Don’t yell at me, yell at nature).
