Howzit, we're from South Africa, living in Gwangju. Havn't seen any other foreigners yet, struggling a bit to get around.

Let us know if you live anywhere close by and want to hook up.

Nope. No furriners in the big G. At all. Really. Honest Injun. Touch blue to make it true.

Get in a taxi on a Friday or Saturday night. Sell him to take you to either "Grand Hotel" or "Migliore." Take a piss. When the foreigner your piss lands on comes up to you, ask him where Speakeasy is.

Hello,

Iam in Hanam City, which is the nearest town over. Yeah, there arent many foreigners around here. I've only seen one between here and Jamsil. While, I really like being this isolated because Iam trying to learn Korean; I realize some people have a harder time with it. Did you just come to Korea?

I think you're talking about a different Gwangju. If you're near HANAM you're sort of outside of Seoul. You shouldn't have any trouble meeting foreigners around there.

If you're talking about HAENAM, then yeah, you're beside the Gwangju in Jeollanam-do. There are foreigners in Gwangju---the one we're talking about---and in Mokpo, which is also next to Haenam.
