 |
|
| This is my first Christmas in Korea and was wondering how busy and what nights are good to go out around Christmas/New Year time as in the UK I am used to going on a lot at this time. Also as a Scot I am wondering is New Years Eve decent anywhere in Seoul? Thanks in advance guys. |

| Itaewon will be very crowded on Christmas. But New Year's Eve and New Year's Day will be nuts. |

| I remember in the 1990s when places in Seoul on Xmas and New Year's Eve had a "holiday" menu of jacked up prices. I wonder if that happens anymore. |

| It'll be packed. If possible, avoid the buses and take the subway. Traffic is a bitch on NYE. |

I went out on a Christmas Eve in Hongdae about 3 or 4 years ago. It was EMPTY. It would have been more fun in a library. I don't know what it's like nowadays.
New Years Eve in Hongdae was busy though. |

Christmas Eve in Korea is associated with couples. Young men know their ladies are socially-obligated to put out, so they rush out to find love motels for the night - despite the 300% price increase laid down by canny motel owners.
Santa is definitely not the only one emptying his sack on Christmas Eve. |
