Hey guys, I'm planning on taking a long trip in eastern Asia soon (Japan, Korea, China), but all my friends can't go with me so I guess it'll be a solo trip.
Any tips for going abroad solo?
Should I look for other people while there to travel with? What's the best way to do that?
And what's the easies/safest way to entertain myself and find local/foreign friends?
Any other general tips?
skip korea, allocate 2/3s of the days you wouldve spent there to japan and the other 1/3 to china.

boring country, anything you can find there japan or china has a better version of it. Literally the best activity in South Korea is to sit in a PC bang and play video games, that's how shit the country is.

Ignore this guy, OP. Korea is great and definitely worth a visit.

Korea is just going to be a watered down version of Japan with shittier electronics.

Go to the Robot Bar in tokyo.
I believe the best way to make friends is at the hostel: people from your room or at the parties, if it is a party hostel. I prefer the room: people will eventually chat.

Interested in this as well. I'll be traveling on my own this summer, and I probably won't be staying at a hostel either.

Hostels are the best placea to meet people by far.
Couch surfing, tinder and other such apps are a good second.
If you are social enough you can approach people on the street or bar, but that might no work if you are a little shy.
Approaching a group of people at a bar would be pretty hard for me
Yup. Skip Korea and put the days to Japan and china, or take Korea out and replace with Taiwan. Otherwise, you should be good.

Every time someone mentions Korea the weebs come out to tell it's boring because it doesn't cater to their childish weeb desires. Ignore them

Dude just stop.

he's right though, Worst Korea a shit. literally only good for sampling the comfort women, which is a cultural tradition dating back thousands of years.
