Hey Guys, please don't get upset if this is way outside of your protocol, but I've just come to Mokpo and spent a couple days wandering around completely lost. I was really hoping to hook up with the foreigner community, although some lady told me you hangout at the New York bar.

Anyway, send me an e-mail if you like, I haven't figured out my phone number yet, but I'm in the Pu-yang appts.
pm me here or you can send it to [email protected]

thanks, hope to hear from anybody,

Just go into Gwangju, there is a big ex-pat community there

Gwangju is good for the weekends, but you don't want to go there every weekend. It gets expensive.
When I was there, there were two bars that the foreigners all hung out at: Jjokki Bar in Hadong and the "Map of Korea" bar (don't know its real name but it had a huge map of Korea on its glass door.) in Second Square (I think).
I wish I knew what exactly to tell you. In Shinae, there is this one good street with a lot of (fairly expensive) bars. But most of the foreigners, I found, live in Hadong. My suggestion, if you see a foreigner, ask him or her where he or she goes on the weekend, and he or she may be able to hook you up with some info on where all the gatherings are.

The most popular ex-pat bars in Gwangju are "The blue Monkey" and "Madseason." About 85% of the customers are ex-pats. Blue Monkey is just down the road from zzyyxx Bar. Mad season is a 2 minute walk from the Post Office.

I feel for you. I just spent the last month there and the only white people I saw where the ones I lived and worked with. Was lucky enough to get out of my contract and get a job in Pusan, which is heaven in comparison.
Apparently there are quite a few in the apartment you are living in, but I could be wrong. The best place to go is called the Texas Moon located near the train station in the "old downtown". It's pretty rockin' on the weekends, lots of foreigners (all 25 of them) and if you get bored there are a whole lot more bars located there then where the New York is.

New York is in the "New Downtown" There is also a bar only a few doors down from the New York bar that foreigners also hang out out, but the bartender with the short hair at the New York is much more pleasent to look at then people in the small foreigner community.
