I'm fired up on:

snowy mountains, Flickr, mars, rock climbing, homemade tofu jerky, passport stamps, Stretch Island fruit leather, art schools, Japanese craft magazines

Can't really say why. I guess it's because I haven't found the place where I *really* feel at home.

Roppongi Hills after a 3:30 a.m. movie

Old Quebec City

Oh wow, I'm in your shoes exactly with Hangul - it reads like a charm, but damned if I know what the words mean!

Any travel tips on Korea, off the cuff?

by petritent | 2007/11/28

:) Exactly!

Are you living in/moving to Korea? Just traveling through?
As for travel tips, hmm...
I love hanging out in Hongdae. If you like coffee shops and/or waffles, check out D'Avant. And for a chill bar, there's Nabi. Oh, and my favorite sandwich shop in the world, the lovely Jenny's Cafeteria, visible on this map toward the lower right side.

Is this the kind of info you're looking for? If you're traveling all over the country, I recommend visiting Gyeongju and Seoraksan National Park. Very pretty there. Let me know if you have questions! Cheers!
