Just bumming around Tokyo is fun in itself. Catch a baseball game at the Tokyo Dome. Its fun to find the little differences between a Japanese and American game.
I've been to Seoul and maybe it was ignorance, but outside of partying I didn't really find much to do there. Its not the most tourist friendly place.
I agree. They have a weird culture in clubs. PR in clubs will invite single ladies to sit in male tables for free drinks in order to hook them up.
That plus eating different foods in Korea is enjoyable.
Tons of seafood;
Alaskan king crab
There is also a species of crab that are palm size that cost 10,000 won which is extremely sweet. Very recommendable. I'm unsure of the name though. Seems to be available in almost every seafood stall, those that have an actual stall, not street vendors. You can see them easily in aquarium for display. They are pale red in color while alive.
Ginseng abalone chicken soup - it's okay I guess
Korean BBQ with glass noodles - pretty good, eat this with their Soju. Soju might depends on personal taste though, it's pretty sweet imo, but my females frown tried it when I said it was sweet and stared at me and said "you call this sweet?" and left the whole bottle to me. ^^
Bibimbap - I hated it in my own country, but it was tasty over there in Korea.
Try visiting their supermarket as well. I tried a few cup instant noodle and was pretty good. You will likely see tons of different vegetables you never seen.
I'm not sure where you are visiting, but if you wake up early in the morning, take a scroll down their wet market as well. Nothing much, but it's refreshing to say the least. Same thing, different fruits and veggie to see.
