So what do the GTG staff visit when they don't go to... well, the GTG site? We tend to check out some of our friends and affilates, also known as the Friends of GTG . As Friends of GTG, we personally know and keep in contact with each site, and thus, recommended highly by GTG to visit. These sites range from music, movies, gaming, news, sports, and much more. We like to reach out to other sites and encourage the growth and discussion on many topics, especially about Asian pop culture. Check out the Friends of GTG below:

You'll quickly be sucked in by the variety of foods Seoul Eats goes into. But just don't take GTG's word for it; see what Daniel Gray, Seoul Eat's founder, says about his site:
