Gwangjang Market is loud and packed but that is the fun of it. Go before noon if you want a seat, and bring cash because a few stalls still do not take cards.

Seongsu is my favourite walk in Seoul. Most roasteries have English menus and the staff were happy to explain the beans, and there are plenty of quiet seats on a weekday morning.

Myeongdong is crowded but the tax refund kiosks are easy to find and most shops accept cards. Come on a weekday evening if you hate queues.

The clinic staff spoke Japanese and English, so the consultation was stress free. Aftercare instructions were printed out for me and a follow up message came two days later.

Itaewon at night is the easiest place in Seoul to eat when you do not speak Korean. Most menus have English, and the halal places near the mosque were a lifesaver for my family.

The Olive Young e-coupon arrived instantly and worked at the Myeongdong store. I bought sunscreen and sheet masks, and the staff scanned the barcode straight from my phone.
