Any help is welcomed :)

Hello,
Nice to meet you !
Itaewon is really an international area in Seoul. So if you ever missed some species or just some western food you can go there and you'll find it. It is also a great place by night.
I would definitively recommend you to do the 5 palaces of the city of Seoul. They are amazing. You just don't wanna miss the King Sejong Museum. It is so full of history and culture.

In summer time, Enjoy the cold noodles and patbingsu. It is literally delicious and refreshing !

I wanna tell you so much more but i don't think there will be enough place here to write them all. looL

Contact me in private, i'll reply as soon as i can
