What are some good places to meet people? I have been here a week and have only met my co-workers. They are okay but I would like to meet people outside of work.

I met people through this site. I've met people that I found out who use this site and people that they knew that I had met previously...

...in bars.

And the occasional Korean who wants English lessons for free, but pretend to be your friend.

And ladies in bars.

And ladies of the night at their workplace.

And various, older Koreans outside convenience stores. Like the really older guys who are more haraboji than ajossi.
