Jeonju, or Chonju as it was known before the Revised Romanization changes a few years ago, is the home to most Korean food. As the seat of the Joseon (Chosun)Dynasty, Korean royal dishes such as Bibimbap were invented here and the food continues to be the best available in all of Korea. This is not overstating the situation and even Koreans will concede this truth. The cheapest, and arguably best, food can be found in front of Jeonbuk National University in Deokjin Dong. Just tell the taxi driver "John book day, jeon moon ah pay" and you will be let off in front of the university gate and food can be found in its many wondrous forms down any of the streets running parallel to the front of the university from the main street running perpendicular to it. To have an experience that you will not forget, you should also go to the Makkoli (a fermented rice drink with the consistency and general ambiance of a nice British ale) House on a road called Paek Jae. To get there, you can say to the taxi driver, "peck jay ro, mockoli (like broccoli)jib ka joo say yo." Go into one of them (look like old adobes in a sense), order "mockoli" and "chon" ("mockoli han gay ha go yo, chon hana joo say yo" (repeat as necessary) and you are in for a treat!!! Also, downtown near Gaek Sa there is a "foreigner" friendly bar known as "Deep In." Any Friday night will reveal the foreigners in town and any would be happy to help a traveller. This bar was first popularized by yours truly and company in 1997/8 and has been popular ever since. You may still find my pic on the wall of shame! Overall, Chonju (as it was spelled then) holds a place in my heart as my first cultural experience and the start of my cultural learning. The museums, palaces, and churches hold appeal, but it is the food, the people, and the Makkoli Jibs on Paek Jae Ro that will forever separate Jeonju from other Korean cities!

So many fun things to do and see.  Go to a palace, eat the food and go to Seoul tower.  You can also google the US military USO for a really good tour of the DMZ (anyone can take the tour).  You'll need your passport.  If you are hungry eat Bulgo-gi or Bi Bim Bap.  Shopping on Dongdaemun or Itaewan will net you some good finds.  You can almost always bargain.  Never take the first price.  Take the #3 bus up to Seoul Tower and see the view.  Also building 63 has a great view.  Using the subway is really easy.  It's all in English and cheap!

Daejeon has some decent foreign restaurants. In the taxi, you can say "Timeworld," and in that area, you can find Starbucks, Outback Steakhouse, TGI Fridays, and Bennigans. If you ask around, someone can direct you to Krispy Kreme, which is about a 10 minute walk from Timeworld. You can also go to the Daejeon train station area ("Daejeon Yuk" in a taxi) and there you will find another Outback, Starbucks, and Cin-Cin Italian Restaurant; along with an above-ground outdoor shopping mall and about a kilometer of underground shopping beneath it.

I went to Gyeongju for the Cherry Blossom Festival last weekend. The weather was perfect and the scenery was beautiful. We went to Bomunho Lake. I recommend going any time of the year. The is also a brand new amusement park located there. We ate a restaurant (Korean Bar-B-Que) that was amazing, however I do not know the name of it. It was right off the lake.

Hannam has the best foreign market in Seoul.  Go to Hangangjin Station (항강진역) and leave through exit 2.  Head straight under the highway.  Cross the footbridge and follow the street right.  Look for a Volvo building on your left.  Head downstairs and you're there!  Be sure to check all three markets in this building for what you want.  There is one large one, one that is like a small deli, and one that looks more like a gas station market than anything else (but they have some great ingredients that you can't find anywhere else.  Almond extract for instance.).

Lovely place!You can see the beautiful sea, rest at the beach and play volleyball,jetski,boat,swim!.Also,it's pretty safe at night.In fact,the nightscean is so emotional!Transportation?Don't worry to ask getting bus.If you are already in Busan,use Metro(Most of tour spots have it!).Or if you want to go from other cities,take a train(It's only 7-10min at a walk from Haeundae station to the beach!) Are you scare about Korean's English skill?Even the old in local market can speak simple English,and there're many foreiners.Moreover,you can find lots of food-traditional,Western,Japanese,India restaurant and cafeteria.

If you are far away from Seul and need to eat some europian food you may find Macdonalds and Pizza Hut there

You may find Turkish restaurant,name Sultan just infront of KFC

Itaewon is a major tourist hangout and many flock to it for it's night scene, although Hongdae is a trendier. Insadong is the place to get gifts, also has lots of traditional restaurants. Check out a Korean Sauna (Jim Jill Bang) at least once. Cheap place to stay overnight as well, if you don't mind sleeping on the floor with many other people. Duc (Chicken) Galbi is a must, or Dwaegi (Pork) Galbi. Near city hall you can check out a traditional korean dance and music performance. Very interesting. SC banks allow you to use your foreign bank card. There everywhere.

OK, first of all its Daegu, not Taegu. Daegu is an industrial town in southern-part of Korea. There is not much beauty in the city but Dongwhasa temple in Palgong Mtn. is lovely as is Apsan. There is a thriving foreign community and visitors should look into Thunderbird Club, The Holy Grill Restaurant, and Dijon Restaurant.
