Sinchon is the area by my university. There is a small pedestrian area, but a lot of the streets feel like a pedestrian zone because they are filled with many people and the few cars have a hard time driving through. The crowd is mainly a younger crowd, probably because of all the universities in the area. There are also many street performers especially during the night. I have so far seen singers, dancers, and even a magician!
There are also many shops familiar to those in the states. Besides for the numerous Coffee Bean shops, I think the two most common ones are 7 Eleven and Starbucks. You can have one a few stores away from the next one.
