I must concede that the laundry gods hate me.... I have been here over a week and my hotel calls a luandry service that charges me 35,000 Won for one load of laundry Mad I have searched for laundrymats here in Busan but cannot find any.... so will someone bestow the blessing of this secret upon me? Where do I get my laundry done for cheap!!!!!

I don't think you'll find standard western style laundromats here in Korea, but a lot of the dry cleaners will also take in clothes for standard washing and repairs.

Just look out for big signs saying '세탁소' and go into those shops. Maybe get a Korean friend or acquaintance to help you out.

Yep, wash your smalls in the sink and then wear everything else until it stinks and is dirty then go out and buy some new clothes. Would appear to be a lot cheaper than spending 35 000 each time. Why isn't your school paying for this service? I take it you're waiting to move into an apartment, and are stuck in a hotel while they dust your apartment down?
