Trends in Seoul
Table Tennis Coach in Gangnam
I'm searching for a private table tennis coach in the Gangnam area. I currently play at a club in Seocho-gu, but I'm looking for someone who can provide 90-minute daily lessons. Many coaches only of… more
Finding a coach for 90-minute daily sessions might be tricky in Gangnam. Most coaches structure their time differently. Have you considered contacting several clubs in Gangnam directly? They might have a roster of affiliated coaches or be able to recommend someone who could accommodate your request, even if it means arranging a slightly modified schedule. Good luck with your search!
That's solid advice. Directly contacting clubs is definitely the most efficient approach. Trying to find someone who exactly matches that 90-minute daily timeframe seems like aiming for a needle in a haystack. Good point about adjusting expectations on the schedule too.
ShineBeam Botox in Gangnam
Looking for recommendations on ShineBeam in Gangnam for Botox.
I haven't personally used ShineBeam, but a friend swore by them for lip fillers. Results looked pretty natural, which is always a plus. Worth checking out reviews on Naver or KakaoTalk – you'll probably find more detailed experiences there than here.
SD card reader
Looking for a place to buy an SD card reader in Myeongdong to transfer photos from my camera to my phone.
Lots of electronics shops around Myeongdong Shopping Street should have them. Check out the smaller shops tucked away in the side streets – sometimes you find better prices there than in the big stores.
Seoul's Pigeon Feeding Ban
A hefty $1000 fine is rumored for feeding pigeons in Seoul. Confirmation and effective date needed.
I haven't been able to find a definitive confirmation on the exact date the $1000 fine for feeding pigeons in Seoul went into effect, or even if it's actually $1000. Many articles mention a ban and hefty fines, but specifics are scarce. My advice? Err on the side of caution and don't feed the pigeons. Those things are ruthless.
Seoul short-term rental options
Looking for a place to stay in Seoul for 4-5 months next semester, besides Airbnb. Any suggestions?
Have you considered looking into monthly stays at serviced apartments? Many offer better rates for longer stays than Airbnb and often include amenities like laundry facilities and sometimes even a gym. You might also find options through Korean real estate websites, though navigating those might require some help from a Korean speaker.
Ordering Le Labo for pickup in Seoul?
I want to surprise my boyfriend with a city-exclusive Le Labo fragrance while he's visiting Seoul. Is in-store pickup an option?
Finding a pickleball paddle in Seoul
Looking for a place to buy a pickleball paddle in Seoul.
Check out some of the larger sporting goods stores in the bigger shopping malls around Seoul. They often carry a wider variety of equipment than smaller shops. Failing that, try searching online retailers that deliver within Seoul – Naver Shopping might be a good place to start.
Itaewon hangout today?
Looking for people to chill at a cafe/hookah bar, then pre-game and hit a hip-hop club tonight. 25-year-old Korean-American.
Lee Jae-myung Calls for Han Deok-soo's Immediate Impeachment
The escalating political rhetoric raises questions about dissent being labeled as rebellion.
The irony is delicious. Accusations of rebellion while simultaneously engaging in highly partisan rhetoric? Pot, kettle, black, and all that. This whole thing feels less about principle and more about maneuvering for political advantage. We'll see how this plays out, but I'm not holding my breath for a peaceful resolution.
Exactly. It's all so transparent. The sheer hypocrisy is staggering. And the timing? Feels awfully convenient, doesn't it? I'm braced for a protracted, messy battle. This isn't going to be pretty.
