I will have a business trip to Seoul next month, about one week.
The last time I was there was in 2007, when I did not know much about go. This time, I intend to be a bit more active go-wise.
I am not sure how much free time I will have, but it would still be interesting to visit a go club frequented by strong players, a bangneki place, a professional game, tournament, go related book store, etc.
Any suggestion would be welcome!
Thanks in advance

Re: trip to Seoul
Back from Korea. Visited Seoul, Changwon and Busan. Lot's of billiard places where people apparently sometimes play baduk, but I haven't seen a single baduk club.
Only when visiting a factory of LG, I saw baduk boards where employees occasionally play.
I have been told that most of the clubs moved to suburbs within the last 5-6 years, because of high rents and lack of interest in baduk. Put the blame on video games!

If you say no, Elwood and I will come here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day of the week.
