Post subject:  trip to Seoul

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

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!
