I know that there is an electronic district in Seoul (Yongsan), but is there a place that can be considered, culturally, a nerd capital?

that's about it
but take the bridge over, and don't be afraid to cross the streets around the area to explore new buildings

also there are some meetups with guys who will go to those places - so check this board regularly.

The video game / console / hand held area is over the walking bridge, go down to the bottom floor, walk out, cross the street, walk along side of another street, and in the basement of the big building infront of you... my directions are horrible but I think you can ask someone to take you !

Thanks. I'll keep this in mind when I get there. I won't be there until after September 14th.

Technomart is on the eastern side of Seoul...It's like Yongsan, except stuffed into one building...not as good, but another option.
