And the one closer to downtown. Would you know what subway stop it's at and even exit number? Thanks. |

It's Yongdeongpung-gu office station on line 2. It's the exit furthest to the nortwest if im not mistaken. Cant remember the no. But its about a 10 minute walk west from there. It can be a bit tricky to find, but if u just walk left out of the subway and continue until you hit the next major road, u should be about there. |

From yongdongpo gu chon station (Green - and purple--line)
You need the exit that says Pension office (or something like that). I believe that is exit 3, but I amnot sure. When you exit there is a Kookmin Bank right there. Make a 'u-turn' right after to exit at street level.. and at the end of that block (about 20 meters.....) at end of Kookmin Bank building, make a right turn into a very narrow lane. Walk 2-3 short blocks and you will see costco ahead of you on your right at some point.
Walk straight with Costco on your right, and a huge tall building on your left. You will find the entrance at that far end of the building.

There is another one about 5 minutes walk from Sanbon station, too. It's in East-central Seoul. Can't remember what exit you need to use, and it's not marked on the map. The Costco Korea site has directions. |

Never been to a Costco. Kirk's "gives me the creeps" thread got me intrigued though. Yangjae isn't so far from me. |

There is not one close to Sanbon station. And, Sanbon is not in the East-central part of Seoul. It's a suburb of Seoul located in Gunpo city, which is southwest of Seoul. |

He means Sangbone I believe. I'm assuming that the costco at Yeongdongpo is similar in size to the one at Yangjae? Is the stock pretty much exactly the same?
Last time I went it was at 12,000 won cab ride from Yangjae to Anyang. How much would it be from Yeongdongpo to Anyang? |

Exit three is correct. If you walk out of the exit and U-turn and head up the side street right there by the KB Bank you'll pretty much run right into the back of Costco. It's not a bad walk from the subway station. |

The one in Yangjae is the main one in Korea. It has the most stuff. Not saying that another one might have something that Yangjae doesn't. But, overall Yjae will have the most. |
