Seoul's Pigeon Feeding Ban
A hefty $1000 fine is rumored for feeding pigeons in Seoul. Confirmation and effective date needed.
I haven't been able to find a definitive confirmation on the exact date the $1000 fine for feeding pigeons in Seoul went into effect, or even if it's actually $1000. Many articles mention a ban and hefty fines, but specifics are scarce. My advice? Err on the side of caution and don't feed the pigeons. Those things are ruthless.
Noryangjin Fish Market Woes?
I’m heading to @Seoul next week and plan on hitting up the Noryangjin Fish Market, which everyone says is an experience. I'm a total newbie to this kind of thing though. Seriously, I've watched count… more
Go early. Like, really early. Before the midday rush. The earlier you go, the less crowded it is and the more time the vendors have to chat (and maybe give you a better deal). Also, don't be afraid to walk around and compare prices a bit. It's totally expected. Don't be shy about pointing at what you want and asking how much. And if a price seems too high, just politely say "A little too much for me" and walk away. They'll often call you back with a better offer. Seriously, it's part of the fun. Most importantly, don't be afraid to look clueless. They see tons of tourists. Just be polite, smile, and try to have fun with it. It’s a chaotic, amazing place. Enjoy the energy! Those grilled fish places near the market are awesome. You'll find them easily enough once you're out of the market's main area. Just follow your nose; the smell of delicious grilled seafood is unmistakable.
