Morning fellow Teachers,

Is there anyone who teaches in Bucheon or know of a local hangout?

Granted, I've only been in country a few weeks but as a public school teacher meeting other native speakers is surprisingly difficult. I think I've seen a whopping two foreigners. Though I know my hours are different then a typical hogwon schedule which could be why I don't see any.

Thanks

If you're near Emart (the one by city hall), then the Canada Buddy is in your neighborhood. I stop in for a burger regularly, and you're right about the hagwon/public school schedules. It seems the place only gets going well after I've gone home. I like Bucheon a lot, but it isn't 'going on' by any means...

Yeah, I agree with the previous poster. Canada Buddy has good beer.
They import Alley Cat Pale Ale from Canada. However I wouldn't
recommend their appetizers. They are awful. I don't know about the
burgers.

Also you can go to Goose Goose across from Bupyong Station. There
are usually quite a few whities there on a Friday night. Hang around at
the bar and you will be in a conversation with someone before you know
it.

I'll have to check out both this week then.

It's funny that my problems in Korea are atypical. The job is good. I enjoy seeing my co-workers. No shady business.

How about the the new Cafe Nicolia?

Anyone been? I just saw the ad after following another thread across to worknplay. Looks like it's between GS plaza and the overpass heading towards Bucheon Stn.
