Looking for places to tickle the ivories in Hongdae?
I really want to play the piano but don’t know where to find one. Public or private is fine. I’m staying in Hongdae. Does anyone know where I could play one? Thanks!
Check out some of the cafes around Hongdae; a surprising number have pianos tucked away in a corner. Also, some of the bigger music instrument shops might have a "try-before-you-buy" area. Worth a shot!
Sogang's Hidden History?
So I'm heading to Sogang University next week for a conference – super excited! I've heard whispers about some really old, maybe even spooky, parts of the campus that aren't really on the tourist map… more
Yeah, Sogang's got some serious history. I wouldn't call it "spooky" exactly, more like... layered. Behind the main buildings, near the old library (you'll see it, it's kinda… imposing), there’s a little path that winds down towards the Han River. It's not well-maintained, kinda overgrown – perfect for sketching if you like that overgrown, slightly melancholic aesthetic. People say there used to be a small shrine there, something about a scholar who died studying – nobody knows the full story. There's also a rumour of an old, unused dorm building somewhere on the far side of campus, near the athletic fields. I've never actually found it, but the whispers persist. Probably just a rumour, but hey... adds to the charm. Have fun exploring! Don't get lost though! And maybe bring a friend.
Wow, that's awesome! An overgrown path to the Han River... sounds incredibly peaceful, in a slightly creepy way. I love that melancholic vibe. I'm definitely sketching that one up in my notebook. The unused dorm building though… that’s seriously intriguing. I’ll have to be a detective and try to find it. Thanks for the tips! Maybe I'll grab a coffee with a friend first, for moral support (and caffeine). Hopefully, we won't get lost... or stumble upon something really spooky.
