Hi, I have just arrived in Wonju and it would be really good to see a friendly face.

Ol

I heard that despite the name, there are at least two or three Jews living there.

(Sorry, couldn't resist!)

friendly face? are the koreans not giving you enough smiles? you gotta stick your tongue out, put your thumb on your nose and wiggle your hand, they'll come around.

Been taken shopping and out for a meal so yeah they are being perfectly friendly but you know exactly what I mean!

Wonju is a very nice town, I'd rather live there than the place I'm currently living. There's one foreigner bar most of the teachers that live there go to. Forget the name of the place, haven't been there in years. Go on Facebook and start a basic account, don't post your real contact info like you did here. There are lots of Korea groups there, including some travel groups. Hope this helps.

May I suggest that you take your contact info off here as well!

I lived there years ago (2001-02). Rock n'Roll was the bigger western bar that had a fair # of expats. PostDocs was a smaller one downtown. I avoided them after the first few months i was there. I wouldn't be surprised if either (or both) is no longer open.

Anyway, this isn't of help to you, just provided me inspiration to briefly reminisce.

Rock and Roll bar burned down four years ago.

postdocs is still open but mostly soldiers go there.

in tungaytekji there is a bar called U2 that is still popular for foreigners I think

burned down 4 years ago? ha, wow, that's pretty amazing. Yeah, u2 had a decent beer selection back in the day.
