I'm in the East end of Seoul (sort of near Jamsil/Amsadong) and am looking for something like the 24coinwash place closer to home (the nearest is in Sinchon - an hour away and I'm getting tired of lugging the laundry that far). Does anyone know of another place around the east side?

Failing that anyone ever come across a dry cleaners that does laundry service ...yes skivies and all! Yeah, I'm lazy...no I'm not playing with that whole blender/washer thing and I hate having elongated, crunchy, slow dried clothes!

Any advice, comments, criticism, cliches, chatter, chit chat is appreciated.

ALL dry cleaners do laundry.

You just tell them *de-rai-ee cleaning an-nee-goh. Mool sae tahk hae jusaeyo*, and they will do it for you. It means not for dry cleaning, but please do it with water.

They should weigh your clothes by the kilo like back home (well, the UK, that is!), or by the number of loads.. or something...

Actually, when I say *ALL*, I mean your average local mom and pop dry cleaner's, not the ones you find in supermarkets. I am pretty sure those don't do ordinary laundry.
