Seoul or Tokyo
I'm returning to the US from working in India, have a bit less than a week to stop someplace nice.
I want to get 2-3 pieces of (women's) clothing tailored.
I'm fond of museums and cultural sites.
I've visited Singapore and, even more often, Bangkok, and happily achieved my admittedly silly goals a number of times. However, it's time for something new, if at all possible.
So, Seoul or Tokyo? Or someplace better, along the way? Why, if if you can tell me? And specific tailor recommendations? (I can find almost everything except the tailors, if I must.)
Thanks!

I don't know that either Seoul or Tokyo are known for their tailoring, but Hong Kong is. I used Maxwell Tailors in Kowloon when I last had clothing made there. They are excellent, but like everything in Hong Kong, not cheap.

I wanted to go to Hoi An, actually, and even have a list of tailors to investigate there, but I simply will not have time to get a visa for Vietnam this trip.
I'll have a look at Hong Kong ... thanks, everyone!

You can arrange to pick up your Vietnamese visa on arrival. I used Tonkin Travel (http://www.tonkintravel.com/id17.html ) for that on my last trip, but there are other agencies.
