Things You Can Do Only In Seoul

A Guide for New Expats in South Korea

By: Asia Expat Guides

Declare Your Love for Your Other

Half from Seoul’s Grandest Point

• There is a reason why romantic Korean dramas and movies are so sappy; they are based on true expe- riences! Koreans are such romantic and sentimental people that they are not afraid to show off these qualities. • Seoul’s Namsan Tower is famous for its fences that are full of love locks

and messages. Korean couples declare their everlasting love for their other half by writing love messages on the love locks, attach them to the available fences (or what’s left of them) and throw the keys away.

• You will be able to see hundreds and thousands of locks and love messages there. You can even try it out if you want to! What’s more fun than immersing yourself in the Korean culture?

• Soak in the beautiful skyline views of Seoul and experience the sentimental thoughts of romance!

Wrestle in Mud and Enhance Your Skin at the Same Time

• Koreans love skincare and cosmetic products to look good and desirable. Plastic surgeries are testament to that.

• It is thus no surprise that South Korea is known for its mud wrestling festivals that are usually spearheaded by cosmetic companies. Such festivals are so popular that mud wrestling has become a local activity in Seoul. It is said that the local therapeutic mud contains nutrients that are healthy for the skin. For example, the Boryeong Mud Festival that was started in 1998 is still going strong up to this day.

• You will be sporting a mud-coated face and body while you wrestle with others in the mud pits, slides and other activities! You will be able to interact with locals, find new friends, and even be introduced to more local activities!

Taste the Trendiest Food in One of the Most

Luxurious Department Stores

• Cheongdanm-dong is famously known as the richest neighborhood in Seoul. This place is home to trendsetters, celebrities and the most affluent residents. If you have never been to a luxurious foodcourt, well here’s your chance.

• The foodcourt situated on the basement of Galleria serves only the tastiest and trendiest food served by famous chefs with top notch cooking abilities. The ordering process is relatively simple and convenient too. All you have to do is to pick the meal that you would like to try and you will be assigned a buzzer. The food will be swiftly delivered to you in less than 15 minutes!

• However, do take note that the food is not cheap. If you are on a tight budget, you shouldn’t frequent this place too often. It’s an eye opening experience though, so make it a point to try out the food there at least one!
