That's not a very happening area of Bucheon. If you come a little south toe Jung-Dong, there is a lot going on.

Yeah, if you go to Jung-Dong, there is much more going on. Mostly around the E-Mart / Hyundai department store area there is a foreigner bar (Rythm and Booze) and a bunch of other pubs and restaurants.

But if you aren't into making the trip and you have a facebook account, there is a group called 'Bucheon City Teachers'. You can join and post on there to see if there is anyone closer to you.

Thanks for the replies, Jung dong is not that far from me.
Are there any groups that I could join that go out at the weekends, i'm kinda shy about going into a bar on my own on a sat night

Can someone tell me what the Sosa area of Bucheon is like?

[BoholDiver]

It's not very happening. It's old and less developed than Bucheon station area.

I guess rent values are a bit low.

Thanks for the info.

The school I may teaching at is in the Sosa area, so I am just assuming that is where my apartment will be.

I used to live in Shim Gook Il Dong. The next "dong" over from
Jung Dong. It was really interesting. I lived in a villa, which was pretty old. the neighborhood was pretty old and rundown as well. But for some reason I really liked it as well. The only hassle was that it was a 20 minute walk to Jung Dong and the bar. Getting there was no big deal...but drunk as a skunk trying to catch a cab at 4:00 am was the main reason I asked to move. Sosa is about 4 metro stops away from where you want to be in Bucheon. Provided you got a place to crash when you come out to get blitzed, might not be such a bad setup.
