I disagree with all the previous posts. Seoul offers a great mix of the old and the new, which I love!! Crowded??? I think you guys gotta be kidding me. Of course Seoul is a city of 10+ million, but thats what makes it exiciting and fun! I am 100% sure you guys are from one of those smaller towns and cities in the US or Europe. Plus, racism…I’ve seen a lot more in the USA than ANYWHERE around the world. Koreans can be rough on the side but they are the warmest people on earth and VERY honest and helpful too! Let’s not talk about food because Korean food beats burgers and hot dogs and pizza any day any time. No wonder most westerners are overweight as fuck

As someone who has visited China, Japan, and Korea, and spent some time living in most of them, I would say that if you’re looking for an exotic, classical far east experience then you’ll be disappointed in major cities and tourist hubs. Seoul is no longer the city of ancient relics and a far eastern experience most people imagine when they thing of Korea, it’s a functioning industrial center, just like New York City, or any other. I think the problem here is more a matter of expectation than of quality

Worst country in East Asia. Lots of racism. Japan so much better.

extremely busy, people everywhere!

However, very interesting place, Pusan, has one of the most interesting markets I have ever seen!

I have also found that if I stand around looking lost , railway stations etc., or even on the street people will always ask if they can help me.

The food is not great, but there is always some kind of fast food , such as pizza, or burgers.

Pusan is so much better than Seoul, still old world in many areas; although, it has changed a lot since my first visit in the early 90’s.
