Yeoksam, Kangnam, Samseong and Apgujeong stations are all quite close to each other and 3 of them are basically walking distance.
Similarly with Jongno, City Hall and Euljiro. |

| Do you mean Shinchon by Jamsil or Shinchon by Hongdae? They have different Korean spellings, too. The one by Jamsil would be nice. |

I like Yeoksam myself (for living and working.) Close to Samsung and Gangnam for shopping and what have you, but quiet and relaxed on the weekends being practically 100% offices.
BTW Yeoksam subway stn. is currently a complete shambles and has been since ~May, anyone know when this is due for completion. |

| Sinchon is nice and centrally located. A lot of the people on here will tell you to get a job near where the parties are at. It really depends what you want to do in your off time? Do you like to read and see cultural things? Is it more important to go out on Saturday night and get drunk off your ***? |

| Seoul is really easy to get around, so the place that offers you the best pay for the least hours plus a nice apartment. |

I always liked Sinsa Station, 1 subway stop from Apgujeong.
Anywhere in downtown is a quick ride over the bridge. |

What about Bundang or Ilsan.
I will be looking for a new job next week and Im trying to decide if I want to be in Seoul or one of the newer towns.
I have been very impressed by Bundang and Ilsan - very clean and you can see a bit of planning has gone into the place.
Anyone? |

Yeah, that would be my choice. On the East of the city but not to far from anywhere and with the artificial lake. It's the best place to live really IMO.
Depends on what you want though..
Any station near Namdaemun would be great for me also for completely different reasons. |

Thank you. I don't know the English spellings, only the Korean spellings. |

Choosing among options of subway stations!

An argument in itself against the metropolis. |
