My trip to Japan starts around the end of this month and it is making me somewhat nervous! But before arriving in Japan I will stop in Seoul. The flight was cheaper that way and when I am on the other side of the northern hemisphere, it would be a waste to just visit Japan.

In Seoul I will stay in a (nice) capsule hotel for around a week. I am currently looking into what to do there. Anybody has any tips for what to do while in Seoul? And anything to watch out for? Anything I should definitely try (food, drinks, etc)?

Agi: Lupo in fuga da uno zoo, lezioni sospese nella scuola vicina

AGI - Le autorità sudcoreane stanno ancora cercando un lupo che è fuggito da uno zoo mercoledì 8 aprile, tanto da aver disposto la chiusura di una scuola locale per motivi di sicurezza.
L'animale, un maschio nato nel 2024 e che pesava circa 30 chilogrammi, è scappato da uno zoo in un parco a tema a Daejeon, a circa 150 chilometri a sud di Seoul, dando il via a una grande ricerca nei dintorni.
La scuola chiusa per la fuga del lupo
"Oggi la scuola primaria Daejeon Sanseong è chiusa", ha detto all'AFP un portavoce dell'Ufficio Metropolitano per l'Istruzione di Daejeon.
Le operazioni di ricerca
"Più di 300 persone, principalmente vigili del fuoco, poliziotti e soldati, stanno partecipando alle operazioni di ricerca del lupo - ha fatto sapere un funzionario del quartier generale della brigata dei vigili del fuoco di Daejeon -. Abbiamo schierato droni con telecamere questa attina presto, ma abbiamo dovuto richiamarli a causa delle piogge persistenti". 
Come è fuggito il lupo
Il lupo ha scavato il terreno e danneggiato la recinzione prima di fuggire, secondo il capo dei vigili del fuoco. Immagini trasmesse dai media locali mostrano l'animale vagare in mezzo a una strada.
Un precedente: la fuga della zebra Sero
Nel 2023 capitò un episodio analogo: protagonista, quella volta, una zebra fuggita da uno zoo a Seoul e vista vagare per le strade. Sero, questo il nome della zebra, fu trovata alla fine in un vicolo, venne addormentata con un tranquillante e riportata nel suo recinto sana e salva.

Wolf fleeing from a zoo, lessons suspended at the nearby school.

AGI - South Korean authorities are still searching for a wolf that escaped from a zoo on Wednesday, April 8th, which led to the closure of a local school due to safety concerns.

The animal, a male born in 2024 and weighing approximately 30 kilograms, escaped from a zoo in a themed park in Daejeon, about 150 kilometers south of Seoul, triggering a large search in the surrounding area.

The School Closed Due to the Wolf Escape
“Today, Daejeon Sanseong Elementary School is closed,” an AFP spokesperson for the Daejeon Metropolitan Office of Education said.

Search Operations
“More than 300 people, mainly firefighters, police officers, and soldiers, are participating in the wolf search operation,” a Daejeon Fire Brigade headquarters official stated. “We deployed drones with cameras early on, but had to recall them due to persistent rain.”

How the Wolf Escaped
The wolf dug through the ground and damaged the fence before escaping, according to the head of the fire department. Local media images show the animal wandering in the middle of a road.

A Previous Incident: The Escape of Zebra Sero
In 2023, a similar incident occurred: the protagonist was a zebra that escaped from a zoo in Seoul and was seen roaming the streets. Sero, the name of the zebra, was eventually found in an alleyway, sedated with a tranquilizer, and returned to its enclosure unharmed.
