Today in Seoul I explored the area near the American army base, an area that used to have most of the foreign consulates and where many foreigners hang out and/or live. It was a little disappointing as most of the stores sold generic tourist crap: fake label clothes, baseball caps, trinkets, cheap Korean “antiques,” etc.
We had a hard time finding something for lunch so ended up eating pita sandwiches of all things. If only we had explored the alleys behind the main street. Like Taipei, this is where things are happening: American bars, western restaurants, a place to get my nails done after a week of horse riding.
We find a cute French bistro-type place to have a rest and a drink and end up at a nice terrace restaurant for dinner. We can’t find anything that looks like a good Korean restaurant!!
It is in the evening when the place comes alive. Girls in their finest and expats looking for fun are all out. The French bistro is packed and we were worried we wouldn’t get into the other restaurant. More people are selling stuff from tables on the street and the shops are all open.
Nighttime is definitely the time to go to Itaewon.
