Future Trip to South Korea

So has anyone ever gone there? I am sorry to say that I don't know much about Korea as I should, but I do enjoy the Manwha. Actually this trip is for me and my girlfriend since I didn't take her to Japan (I mean I met her after I booked my trip, changing it would cost more.) Is there a Korean Akihabara like in Japan? What sites should we see the most? Also no, we will not go to the border of N.Korea.

    I have been there twice, both times to Seoul. Aside from Idae and Idae-won, you're not missing much.

    Good-looking people, though.

    K_A come to China.

    I've been there a bunch of times. It's pretty fun. I hear Starcraft is pretty popular there.

    I am thinking about that though. I mean China is nice and I assume they have thier own Akihabara thing going on as well, am I right?

    I haven't read much of thier Manuha though. It doesn't seem to be popular here.

    Edit: Forgot to ask Which part of China are you talking about and which part am I supposed to come to?

    Yeah sure, why not. It seems your only connection is Japan -> Tentacle porn so I might as well leave you at that and not put strain on your brain by trying to up your IQ by one more point making it a whole number, 2.

    Seoul is our main part, if we go to Korea that is. China does look tempting and the Shanghai hotels are quite excellent.

    The barbique that I had in Japan was delish and quite filling as well. Obviously this was in Japan, but in Korea it must be more authentic.

    Shanghai and Beijing, I would recommend off the bat. I'm in Shanghai so Shanghai should be your priority stop.

    I have never been to Korea. But once, me and 4 friends competed in a martial arts tournament against a team from KO-RE-AH. Our coach was tough and set it up so that I would have to fight the same man that killed my brother when I was a child. I won, and we all learned a lesson about forgiveness.

    Cool, I wanted to go to Shanghai. I might change out plans then. If I remember correctly, Shanghai is like a posh area and Beijing is like the old, historical places correct? OF course no insult intented if I didn't do it right.

    No you're pretty on the mark there. Beijing is where you go if you want to see China for its culture and history. Shanghai is where you go if you just want to party all day for cheap.

    Shanghai's not really "posh"... it tries to be but it fails miserably, mostly by erecting buildings that look like this:

    I visited my relatives in South Korea, and asked em what it was like with North Korea right there.

    They avoided my question.

    No way if the man can afford to come to China then he should come to China, just because the rest of you fucks won't.

    Also if he comes to Shanghai that means I get to take a picture with him.

    He gets a picture with me, the best person alive ever.

    I get a picture with him, perhaps the biggest mystery ever to grace the SE++ boards.

    It's a win-win.

    That's because
    a) sushi doesn't mean "fish" it just means "snack" or "finger food"
    b) Koreans don't make sushi
    c) Koreans make kimbob
    d) seriously wtf is wrong with you
