I finally found a store with exactly what I'm looking for . . . after a day of searching the web . . . the problem: I CAN'T FIND WHERE IT IS LOCATED!!!!

http://www.indonara.com/

They have Korean directions. . . but I can't read those. They don't even give an easily-identifiable address for me to Google-Map it!

PLEASE HELP ME!!! I wanna go there tomorrow, but I don't know where it is!!!

Ehwa University Station (Line 2)
Walk out exit 2

(Ministop on your right
walk toward Sinchon intersection
turn right
turn left
across the street from)

phone #: 365-3665

print/copy that map and show it to Koreans once you walk out of the station.

Thanks. At least I won't be going to the wrong subway station. I can read Korean, but I don't understand it. (and the map didn't have any landmarks such as Subway stations to give me an orientation of the direction . . . not all maps in Korea are North/South).

Thanks again . . . I appreciate it so much!!!!

Well, here's your Korean lesson for the day. =P
Reading the map:

The green circle on the bottom right corner is the subway station.
It says
이대여대역 2호선

역 : station, therefore: Ehwa Station
호선: line, therfore: line 2 (green line)


On the left are the walking directions from the station.
It says 2번출구

번: number
출구: exit

Therefore, exit number 2.

The black circles are bus stops. 버스

I can read some Korean . . . but not enough to figure out where it was (there were no landmarks that I could pinpoint, like 역).

Someone PMed me with a nice translation of the directions.

I am so grateful for everyone's help! . . . one hour of endless wandering (with too much baggage from work) is enough for one weekend.

That map says 역 on it in 3-4 different places.

I've been in Korea since 2008. Yes, the maps says Subway and has arrows pointing towards the station, but doesn't show where they are . . . just because there's a subway station to the left, doesn't tell you WHERE it is . . . it could be 100m, or even 500m! (That makes it hard to pinpoint).

I went there . . . not really that nice.

They have body piercing jewelry, but the store was dusty, crowded, and I didn't trust them to do my piercing. (Plus, their stock wasn't as good as the place I found to do my piercing).

I recommend Crow Piercing in Hongdae . . . go to Hongik University station on line 2, and walk around and find some Korean dressed in typical punk attire, and try to communicate with them that you want to know where a piercing place is . . . I had some body piercing jewelry, but you can print out a picture, and simply ask in Korean "Where is it?" --- That's what I did . . . and the cute, Korean punk couple in their zippered, leather jackets led me to Crow Piercing.

Any idea how far from the station this is? I've asked a Korean where it was but he was working, so unable to show me where it was. Any landmarks or hand-drawn treasure map would be appreciated.
