Took a trip to Busan (2nd biggest city in Korea) this weekend (long weekend)
Trip report (kind of long):
(2 nights, 1 bang - nightgame but like 3-4 other close calls explained below)
So I feel like Korea is basically all the same / probably isn't that interesting from a sightseeing point of view relative to other places (but I don't care about that stuff in general).
Still, did some sightseeing so I didn't feel like I just took a 4 hour bus to go clubbing haha.
1st day:
Lots of traffic getting to Busan, I think total travel time was like 7 hours vs. 4. Wasn't necessarily in a rush to get there though and the delay let me check into my motel right away ~3-4pm. Stayed in Seomyeon right by a few clubs - 1 minute walking distance to one (Seomyeon seems to be ~Gangnam in terms of having superclubs with hot Koreans). If anyone wants to know the motel I stayed at, send me a PM - owner was very friendly (though I am Korean so keep that in mind)
Checked out this street with old bookstores - 책방골목길 (Bookstore Alley). Pretty cool if you're into reading and old bookstore vibes. One of the things I love about Korea is that while there are a lot of modern shopping complex type places there are still a lot of local, "authentic-feeling" businesses around. There was one bookstore in particular "우리글방" (Our Village School) that was particularly cool and even had a little cafe. Obviously, most of the books are gonna be Korean but they had other stuff like old records, collector's edition Bruce Lee DVDs (or might have been VHS), etc. Obama also visited this store as well
After that went to 국제시장 (International Market) - pretty iconic place in Korea/Busan due to Korean War refugees fleeing to Busan and setting up shop here and focal point of one of my favorite movies (gives you a great feel for the struggle of the war generation and Korean mentality):

After that went to Busan Tower (~N Seoul Tower) and ate Korean BBQ in Nampo-dong. Because this is starting to sound like a travelogue I will stfu and talk about nightlife and bitches.
1st night:
I think this had to be the unluckiest night in PUA history..
So my plan for the night was to hit Grid as people seemed to be saying it was the biggest/most famous club ~Octagon in Seoul.
I get there and realize the layout is not ideal for picking up unless you are getting a table (I went solo). The main area is not that big and there wasn't really a place where people lingered (such as the bar area in Octagon/around the bar area). Everyone was either on the small dance floor or upstairs in VIP/table area.
Later on in the night, I picked up a VIP wristband on the entrance stairs that someone threw away, put it on my wrist, and was able to go up but it wasn't the best since if I got a girl talking, I didn't have anywhere to park it (tried befriending Korean dudes with tables but they weren't great wings).
So towards the beginning of the night, the vibe just wasn't there and after a few approaches I said fuck it and started getting yucky (kind of bad - becoming reliant on alcohol to have fun and shit lately). I finally get a set to hook and this girl is straight fawning over me, saying how good looking I am and that I look like her favorite rapper (chaboi was dressed pretty fly tho). I buy her one tequila shot and give her some of my whiskey. I try to buy her another tequila shot but one of her ugly friends, who isn't getting the typical Korean male "let me pour alcohol down your throat" attention takes it instead. Anyway, pull to the motel and apparently this girl is fucked from that 1 tequila shot. I go for it anyway, getting a finger in there and shit but she's being difficult and her outfit was impossible to take off - tight as fuck. So I tell her to leave and she's like you leave first (granted this is my motel room...) At this point, I was mad as fuck and told her to fuck off in Korean. She left without even putting her bra on so I threw that in a trashcan as I went back to the club
My second attempt at getting my dick wet was soon after and pretty quick. This girl was maybe a 5 or 6 compared to the first who was like a 7. But honestly at that point I was kind of mad and just wanted to get laid. We're at the crib, she brushes her teeth and it's about to go down when she gets a call from her friend - she needs my girl's wristband to get her shit (most nice Korean clubs have wristbands with barcodes that are tied to a personal locker for coat-checking). She was like should we go first or what. I tell her to tell her friend to wait a few minutes but she keeps getting called and so she leaves. Sidenote: a lot of the girls at Grid were visiting from Seoul with friend(s)... I got kind of fucked by not having a wing - downsides of travel lifestyle (no friends/homies).
So yea I'm mad as hell and you'd think third time would be the charm right? I'm chatting up this girl who is just so sexy but a bit older (27). She has a friend though so I get some random Korean guy to wing me but in typical Korean fashion he is just way too pushy and aggressive and kills it for me.
It's about 4-5AM at this point and I get a text from a girl I met earlier in the night asking if I'm still out. Realizing this might be my last chance I call her and she says she's eating so I go to meet her. By the time I get there, she's gone so I call her again and we meet briefly but she's like, I'm too tired now I'm going home.
It happens one more time: meet some girl on the street who has plastic surgery out the ass and a deep ass voice (kind of worried she's a tranny) but she's like I don't want to look bad in front of my friends (even though they are saying it's ok...)
Couple of other close calls (mostly 1 girl digging me, friend looking bored/unoccupied) in the club, too but these were the closest
I prowl the streets until like 7AM when there's literally no one around and realize it just wasn't meant to be
Day 2
I wake up ~4PM feeling like a total scumbag and go to eat 돼지국밥 (Pork and Rice Soup - sounds retarded when you translate but it's one of Busan's famous dishes and amazing, especially after a big night out).

^ You mix it up, it becomes spicy, you throw in other condiments, get it with a side of more pork or some dumplings -> amazing (I'm a meat lover though no homo)
Went to Haeundae after - saw an ad somewhere saying there was a dance festival going on (like actual dancing not EDM dance festival) but I didn't see it. Granted, I didn't really look too hard - took 1 photo of the beach and came across an accessory store where I must have spent at least 2 hours like a true metrosexual Korean male. Weather wasn't also great beach weather - surprisingly was colder in Busan than in Seoul like ~24-25C (~mid 70s F?). Plus the sea breeze. Ate 회무침 after (spicy raw fish salad - Busan is famous for seafood/raw fish since it's right by the sea)
2nd night:
I pick up a free wristband at Fix first. Read online that it had lots of hot girls. Go in later ~1:30 and there wasn't anybody... it was Sunday but still.. everyone had Monday off. Later was talking to people at a different club who said it was dead these days
I go to this club literally right next to my motel called Blowsome (I thought the Korean pronunciation was supposed to be Blossom but whatever lol). Koreans were saying online it was the hot spot
It was definitely way more poppin than Fix but still expected more given the holiday. Here the layout was a bit better than Grid but still not optimal for picking up (heavy emphasis on dance floor - which is good for partying but not picking up IMO)
The talent level was also lower than in Grid but maybe it's because I wasn't feeling it as much after a big night at Grid. Was hoping to see more chicks that looked like this:
Nothing was really going well and it seemed most girls weren't getting drunk. So I met two Russian dudes (literally the only foreigners in the club) and we started slamming vodka after the dudes realized I could get them vodka drinks for half the price they were paying (I was drinking vodka on the rocks for 5,000 won - no whiskey - and the bartender eventually gave us vodka tonics for 5,000 won instead of 10,000 won. I think the bartender was chill since it was Sunday and he also seemed kind of new at the job). The one dude was a fucking clown - wearing shades in the club - he had a bruise on his right eye - some language barriers but I think he had gotten into a fight. Anyway, we were straight clowning, dancing up a storm on the second floor with all the tables. Eventually I start making a serious attempt at getting laid since I don't want to finish the trip without sampling some of the local poonani
I come across this one Daegu chick who was the dime of dimes for me. Like perfect petite/slim figure, crazy short booty shorts like literally perfectly covering just her asscheeks, well-done plastic surgery, etc. I think booshala on here said Daegu girls are known for being hot - I don't know if that's true at this point since people have moved around and plastic surgery/cosmetics leads to semi-universal beauty standards but yea I would have licked her butthole given the chance. She wasn't having it though but I still tried because I'm dumb like that and couldn't resist her beauty. Her accent (Daegu) was pretty funny/cute to me, too (sounds kind of angry - same with the Busan accent but to a lesser extent)
Anyway, I eventually end up meeting this other chick, making out, dancing. She has a really defined nose for a Korean - maybe a nose job, I didn't think so but I was wasted. She said she gets confused for Arab sometimes - had a unique look for a Korean. She was like a 6 at the time so probably a 5 sober but whatever, I wasn't ending this trip without a bang. I pull, get the lay (couldn't bust tho cuz I was yucky as fuck). (Pic below)
At this point I go back to the club to try and pull again lol (I even see the girl I smashed and we jokingly chat for a bit). I talk to the Daegu girl again even though I know it's not happening. Bring her to a Korean table where I had befriended some young bucks earlier trying to pull together. I think I asked her if she liked me/if she wanted to leave but in a nice way (if you want to go you can, I don't mind) - putting the pressure on them/making them look mean, etc (I do this a decent amount). Honestly, we had a good rapport going but she said I was greasy (in Korean) - true (as we were sitting on the table couch I was feeling her ass behind her back - a favorite move of mine). She also wasn't nearly drunk enough for shit to go down
Nothing really materialized so I just continued to drink and have fun. Again, tried hollering at shorties on the street until like 7AM and the motel owner was like this dude cray asking me what was up considering he saw me take 3 different girls up to the room over the course of the weekend. What can I say, the thirst is real and I was still trying to party/drink more, too but the streets were dead by that time

So I'm not sure I would go back to Busan again unless I had a crew to roll with and maybe hit the beach when it's hot out. Also, wasn't there long enough to form an opinion on the notion that Busan is more laidback/Cali vibes compared to Seoul plus a lot of people were visiting from Seoul/Daegu/other places for the long weekend so it was more like a Korea party than a Busan party. But for a long weekend, I was kind of expecting the clubs to be crazier, especially Grid on a Saturday - nothing like Octagon where you can barely move at this time of year. Also no foreigners (I guess they all chill at the beach and go to Thursday Party or whatever) but foreigners can be good for making the vibe more ratchet (there were some Korean-Americans at Grid who were drunk off their ass and straight molesting each other - Koreans were like wtf is going on)
And to dudes PMing me to meet - I'm not going to meet someone with 0-1 posts and 0 rep. Nothing personal but I go out maybe once a week and don't want it to be a bust/be the victim of some feminist attack or something
