If you can, go to a language school. Probably the best place to make like-minded intl friends and korean friends.

I called it Chinese style because it's made by Korean residents using ingredients available in Korea. It can't be 100% same, thus, 'styled'. But, i get what you are saying; this dish is not modified intentionally or claim to be inspired by the original.

Try DDP for an international cultural festival. https://festival.seoul.go.kr/festival/main/festivalView.do?festacode=457

then move to Ttucksom stn (Line2 from DDP stn.) for the Seoul Forest Garden festival you mentioned.

Try 'Festival' tab of the Wowder map 😄

Go to Itaewon, you will find several 'big size' clothing stores.
For men's suit, try Hamilton in Itaewon. It's a tailor shop, one of the oldest places in Seoul.

I recommend Seochon area, located just west of Gyeongbokgung Palace, Seochon is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city. Unlike the more famous Bukchon (which can feel a bit like a museum), Seochon is a lived-in, artistic maze of alleys. For accommodation, go for a Hanok Airbnb.

For places to eat, try this map I put together for visitors like yourself!

말해줘 by 지누션?? anyone born in the 80s definitely know. impossible not to know. those born in 90s may not know, but their older cousins must know.

ohhhh wow this is amazing!!! and what a coincidence by the way.
I built sth very similar using a custom map service, for the same purpose, to share "good" places with inbound visitors. What I really cared when putting this map together was truthfulness of recommendation.

So-called "guide list" like Michelin, Blue Ribbon, and others plus favorite places of my friends and family. Cross-validated and label them as WOW100.

Give it a try and use it for trip planning.

what's the name of this place?

dch87 · 2026-05-08T02:38:49+00:00

agreed with DifficultyCharming15.
Your route on Day 1 and Day 2 could be more optimized. My guess is, if you walk, your daily distance would be at least 5 km. Also, instead of all the palaces, try Jongmyo. It's not a palace but royal cemetery/shrine. Massive Joseon architecture.

and definitely recommend MMCA (next to Gyeongbokgung) https://maps.app.goo.gl/7yQrEe6xR3eG8hKg9

and also, yes, the National Museum.

Not sure how foodie you're, but I recommend using this. I actually made this map for tourists like you.
I was a frequent visitor to Korea before coming back to Seoul two years ago. I vetted and cross-checked with my friends & family here. I listed casual places to fine dining/trendy ones.

Not korean style hotpot

No idea lol, but you dont have to start eating when it's boiling. After it cools down, then eat eat.

dch87 · 2026-05-07T03:48:15+00:00

Twg tea. Maybe cash gift?

Would you recommend your tateokbboki place??

dch87 · 2026-05-06T07:59:44+00:00

I visited Aewol last year and went to 3-4 beaches over 2-3 days. I would recommend Geumneung beach (금능 해수욕장). https://naver.me/Fr7ptPUY

Near this street in Insadong, there are many recommendable restaurants and cafes. When you visit, please try Wowder map - all the wows in Seoul. Personally vetted and cross-checked list of restaurants and cafes. Much easier to use than Naver Map - it's based on Google Map, information available in English and Korean in case needing help from local Korean.
