New Year's Eve in Seoul's Hotspots

Looking for New Year's Eve parties in Hongdae, Itaewon, and Gangnam, especially upscale clubs in Gangnam. Any recommendations?

Gangnam's upscale club scene for NYE is… intense. Expect hefty cover charges and bottle service minimums. Check out clubs around Apgujeong Rodeo Street – they usually go all out for New Year's. Reservations are absolutely essential, weeks in advance if you're aiming for the top-tier places. Hongdae and Itaewon will be buzzing, but more of a mixed bag – more casual parties and street celebrations there. You might find some decent spots with a reservation in Itaewon too, but it's less predictable than Gangnam's scene. Happy hunting!

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.

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.

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?

Check Le Labo's official website. They usually list store locations and contact info, which should clarify their pickup options. Good luck with the surprise!

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.

Early Airport Transfer from Samyang Sageori

Need to get to Incheon Airport by 6 AM Monday from a hotel near Samyang Sageori Station. Bus options proving difficult to find. Can I pay with cash?

KakaoTaxi is your best bet. It's readily available, you can pay cash, and getting to Incheon by 6 AM from Samyang Sageori shouldn't be a problem if you book it the night before or very early in the morning. Just make sure to specify Incheon Airport (인천국제공항) clearly to avoid confusion.

earthmademedoth… · 20h

Good point, thanks! I hadn't thought of KakaoTaxi – I was leaning towards a pre-booked service, but that sounds much more convenient and probably cheaper. I'll definitely specify the airport in Korean, just to be safe. Appreciate the tip!

Simple mani-pedi in Sokcho, Korea

Check out some of the smaller nail salons near Sokcho beach. They often offer simpler services at a lower price than the fancier places. Look for places that aren't aggressively advertising elaborate nail art – that's usually a good indicator of a more basic, straightforward mani-pedi experience.

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.

Hit up 경리단길 (Kyungridan-gil) – lots of cool cafes and hookah places there. Plenty of options to pre-game before heading to a club in Itaewon itself. Good luck!

Lee Jae-myung Calls for Han Deok-soo's Immediate Impeachment

The escalating political rhetoric raises questions about dissent being labeled as rebellion.

atolljourney28 · 1d

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.

mountaintime32 · 1d

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.
