First time watching a baseball match real live and it was very interesting experience! We first met up with the guide and the rest of the group at the sports complex station at 4pm, and walked around 10min to kychon chicken nearby for early dinner. We shared 4 baskets of chicken with 4 other foreigners from USA/Scotland and it was fun interacting with them. A cup of beer was served during dinner, they will offer drinks if you don’t take alcohol. Afterwhich we walked over to the Jamsil station which is 10min away to watch the match, it was a great experience listening to all the Korean cheer for their favourite team, singing along with actions. Had a great view of the cheerleader dancing too. Great job to Twins for winning the game.

We joined the Itaewon Pub Crawl and it turned out to be one of the most fun nights we had in Seoul. The event was hosted by Bear and Widiya, and they did an amazing job keeping the energy high and making sure everyone felt welcome. They were friendly, organized, and great at bringing the group together, which made it easy to meet fellow travelers. The crawl took us to several bars and clubs around Itaewon, each with its own vibe. It was a great way to experience the nightlife without worrying about where to go next. The atmosphere was lively, and the hosts made sure everyone was enjoying the night. What made the experience even better was meeting people from different countries, sharing drinks, and just having fun together. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and a great way to explore Itaewon’s nightlife. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Seoul and looking for a fun and social night out. 🍻🎉

It turns out Klook offers a restaurant reservation service, and the service fee is acceptable. Most restaurants in Busan only accept phone reservations, and online reservations only accept Korean phone numbers. So, if you have a favorite restaurant in mind, this service is quite useful. Klook will make the reservation using the user's name.

Our guide, Sam, showed us the small distillery and explained everything in detail in very good English. He was patient, answered every question, and happily introduced us to the world of Soju. We were in a large group of over 12 people (we were only two). The tour was well-booked. Everyone was invited to a WhatsApp group, which provided information about the meeting point and schedule. The meeting point was a bit unclear. Tip: A photo of the exact spot would help. The organizer was friendly and open. He gave us several Sojus to taste and gave us a good introduction to Korean drinking culture. The distillery is small and charming, but unfortunately, you can't buy everything you taste. Nevertheless, it was absolutely worth it. Important tip: Don't come on an empty stomach! There will be a lot of drinking – definitely eat something beforehand. Overall, a recommended and entertaining experience for anyone who likes Korean Soju and the culture behind it.
