Yesterday

I have to meet someone today at Hongdae Station - (obviously Hongdae) - however there is no such thing as Hongdae station...

could someone tell me - does Hongdae station = Hongik University Station

I hate going across that side of the city living in Songpa-gu myself - but I have been offered a Samsung Credit card if I go sign the paperwork there...

Yes, Hongik Univ. Station is Hongdae

The University is about a 10 minute walk from the subway, if that matters.

thanks Ya-ta boy...

p.s. - If anyone else wants a Samsung credit card (American Express, Visa or Mastercard) - here are the details....

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The cards themselves typically have an annual fee of 20 000 won. This gives you airline points and can be paid for by airline points as well, once you accumulate them. Also, many of the cards have great advantages above and beyond the airline mileage, such as discounts to sporting events, amusement parks, shopping and restaurants.

You�ll qualify to get a credit card by meeting the conditions below.

1) If you work in a public school -elementary school, middle school, high school and university-
OR if you work in a company which is listed on the KOSDAQ or KOSPI.
OR if you are a sergeant in US base

2) Have a copy of your passport

3) Have a copy of your Alien Registration Card (expiration date should have more than 3 months remaining)

4) Have a bank account at any bank in Korea

Just email - J.A Kim, [email protected] (A Korean young-lady who wants to help foreigners due to lack of services for foreigners in Korea.

However, as she works during the week - she prefers to only meet on weekends.

Seven years and can't read Hongdae Station in Korean on a subway map. Nice one.
