Seoul, South Korea Itinerary: Tourist Sites, Restaurants, Mosques, Shopping, Pinned Map

South Korea is a country I recently developed an urge to visit solely due to their food. Korean food is absolutely delicious, and known mostly for kimchi, a million side dishes to go with every meal, and spicy pepper paste used in soups, stews, and almost everything!

After staring longingly at youtube videos showcasing their vibrant variety of street foods I crave to consume, I put together this itinerary list of restaurants, sites, shopping areas, and prayer places which a muslim traveller to Korea could find useful.
Compared to Japan, the number of halal restaurants is much, much smaller, however they do have a district called Itaewon which is basically their halal district with everything a muslim needs.

Important Note: In South Korea, you will not be able to get by while using only Google Maps, as it is not widely used in the country and has very outdated content. You'll have to use a combination of Google Maps and "Daum". Click here for a recent article we've put together with a full guide that talks about this.

South Korea Guide: How to Find your Destination on Desktop Computer & Mobile (Google Maps & Daum Maps)

So if you're like me, you don't speak Korean and you are planning your South Korea itinerary using Google Maps. After fruitless address searching efforts, you're hit with a crushing frustration: 

Why can't I find my destination on Google Maps? 

Why don't destinations provide proper addresses? 

Why can't I see my destination on Google Street View even though the address is correct?

The answer: Google Maps is not commonly used in Korea, so everything you find might possibly be outdated. Instead, Koreans use two Map services similar to Google Maps, called Daum and Naver. I'll be focusing on Daum as I found it much easier.

The Foodie Review: Rayan Poissonnerie & Restaurant (Ottawa)

Les poissons, les poissons, How I love les poissons!

Each time we visit Montreal we have a routine of visiting Rayan Poissonnerie & Restaurant every single time.

Our second time there was, I kid you not, on a layover in Montreal on the way back from Hajj last year. "We got a couple hours so.. why don't we go order some food to bring home?"  It was excellent. I took a great picture of Rayyan standing in front of the Rayan Restaurant sign, holding a bottle of "Rayyan" branded water we got on the plane and I frequently make mention of it.

During a road trip to Ottawa to visit our Hajji family this past weekend, word on the street was that a new location had opened up a little ways away from the down town core, so we were beside ourselves with glee!

Tokyo Itinerary for Muslim Nerds: Tourist Sites, Restaurants, Mosques, Shopping, Pinned Map

So okay, we'll admit it. We are a couple who absolutely adores Japan, its culture, media, and of course the food! Travelling to Japan has been a life-long dream to finally see the land that produced Nintendo, Dragonball, Sailor Moon, Gundam, One Piece, and all of our Gaming and Anime & Manga favourites from childhood (and now!) as well as immersing ourselves in its bustling gamer, electronics, and technology culture.

We scoured TripAdvisor.com and various Halal Japan website recommendations to put together the ultimate Nerd itinerary for the ultimate Muslim Japan Fan, and the best sites, restaurants, shopping spots, mosques, and other points of interest that we think are worth your time.
