|
|
| Looks like I'll be taking an after school gig in Icheon. What kinda stuff is there to do around town? Not worried about the trip to Seoul or whatever cause I got some friends to stay with in the city, just looking for what I might do during the week. Also, if you live in Icheon hit me up and we'll get together sometime so you can show a newbie (to the area, not Korea) around. |

| There's a thriving arts scene with a lot of indie bands, natural food stores that carry local and European brews, and a lot of hipsters who you may even be able to score some good green from. |

Thanks. I don't smoke so I'll pass on the green, but if there's some good bands, and places to get out of the apartment that should keep me sane. |

| Sorry man, I was being sarcastic as I don't think there's anything going on in Icheon worth mention. I wouldn't have said it if you supported the Wolfpack. Even the Blue Devils. |

| Icheon has spas. Beyond that, not much. It's pretty spread out too. There are parts of Icheon that are near universities, like Janghowon. They're hardly vibrant areas though. |

That's messed up man. It's cool though. If there's really not anything to do in Icheon I can simply read about all the championships my team has won.
And thanks everyone else. The position seems too good to pass up so I'll probably suck it up. |

Assuming there is a bus that goes to Seoul from Icheon, how long does it take?
What time does it stop running?
Considering a position there as well for late March...
thanks |

| Hynix is in Icheon and it's something of a company town. It's also known for pottery, a spa, and of course some "good tasting rice." The hotel that has the spa is very pretty, has many weddings, and you've got a chance at finding a foreigner or two in the bar. My boyfriend was staying there when we met. and we tried the dinner buffet. It was overpriced, but did have a live band that entertained us with their funny Konglish. |
