Been thinking about visiting South Korea and wanted to get the latest intel from those who've been recently.
Specifically interested in:
1. Current price ranges
2. Best areas to base yourself
3. Any safety concerns
4. How's the quality compared to Germany?
Any recent trip reports would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

Did you use an agency or find girls at bars?

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.
