Do you live north or south of the Han River?

Depends on your vibe, really. North of the Han tends to be a bit quieter, more residential. South has a more bustling, energetic feel, especially around the nightlife areas.

Maybe a touch of something else to round it out, but nothing too crazy. I'm gonna experiment with different ratios this weekend. Wish me luck!
