Just left korea and boy let me tell ya....its pretty dead....a few years ago they made japanese imports pretty much illegal. So the car scene died slightly but if you would love to see the exotic imports they are still everywhere in the bigger cities....

Of coruse korean made sports cars are a big deal and are usually easy to find, but street racing is kinda hard to find...Car shows and "tracks" come and go.....if i were you, do what everyone else does....drink soju, get messed up, and party hard...koreans love that ish!!

Also this time of year as far as places to visit...of course seoul......you wont regret it...biggest fish market in korea is there...Stay away from juicy bars/buy me drink bars...waste of money..

Other cites to vist in order of most awesomest...

1:) daegu
2:) Kwangju/gwangju
3:) busan/pusan

And thats all i can think of right now...of course seoul is the **** above them all...although some will say go to itaewon (district in seoul) others will say the college area (forgot the name)...go to the college area.....how long will you be there for btw, and why are you there.....are you military,civilian...whats up if you can speak about it....

EDIT::: also be sure to try kimchi like a mofu...**** is delicious....

Get strong taste buds too...those folks over there love there spicy food...spicier than move mexican food
beef on a leaf is the ****!!! korean women love to party.......and if you are a chick, korean men love foriegn women!!!
If you need some friends to show you around PM me....ill see if my girlfriend can show you around!!

Also if you are black, prepare to be discrminated against......**** happens...oh wells....on a flip side, seoul, busan, and daegu are the most foreigner heavvy cities so you should find alot of common ground there...

did i also mention koreans like to party and to also stay away from the juicy bars?

I'll be at Kookmin University right in Seoul and I've heard great things about it so I'm excited.

and I've been eating Kimchi for a long time. biggrin.gif gonna love it when it's authentic Korean Kimchi!
my taste buds are up there, so don't worry. I LOVE spicy food.

AHAHAHA thanks for all the heads up, but luckily I'm an Asian male with a girlfriend whose going with me. lol.

But that BEAMS weighs like 400 lbs.... I'm a little guy. I can't even pick it up, let alone throw it at your car. Besides, that's not a very polite thing to do laugh.gif

Seriously though, it's good that your dad will be driving it. At least you know it will be started up and driven as opposed to sitting and collecting dust.
