So for those of you who didn't know, I'll be studying in Japan this summer (from July to December). It's extremely difficult to get a student visa given the recent events, so in between summer and fall semester in Japan I need to leave the country for at least a week to renew my default 90 day-visit on my passport without getting deported by Japanese immigration. As you may of guessed, plane tickets are expensive these days between the uprisings in the Middle East and this country's dire need for oil. So traveling back to America between semesters would be about 5x as expensive as just taking a short "detour" to a nearby country during my break.
So long story short, I'll be taking my vacation in South Korea for a week over the summer in-between those semesters. So, I wanted to inquire as to who are the Korean top players, and where the Korean scene is most active. Since it doesn't really matter where my plane tickets goto, I figured I'd hit up a major MB city with solid arcades. (And maybe goto a Starcraft League live).
Anyone got the info I'm looking for?
Also, anything else that's awesome/special/cool about South Korea I might want to consider? Or should I just go hit up Hong Kong?
