Travel Advice

 Good nightlife in Seoul
I was in Seoul recently and I found the district of Hongdae very appealing. While it was a little far from where I was staying (Gangnam), it definitely more than made up for the journey. Hongdae had an ecclectic mix of locals & expats, the bars were packed, & the prices were reasonable. I will definitely go back.
