which day are they blocking the streets? That seems the best day to go  Itaewon as a fully pedestrian area... could be interesting. |

Is there a link to an official site?
Here's subway information in case any newbies need it. Noksapyeong Station is on the Brown line (#6) . It's the subway station right after, (or before depending on which way you are coming), Itaewon station.

| Some of you can't be bothered to post information to help other people? Yeah, you who live in Itaewon 24/7. There's probably posters all over the place in Itaewon plus a huge banner draped across the main street all with information about this event. Just stop to read it one time and post the times and any other info, like maybe a website. Some of us have to travel for more than an hour to get there and just need some info about starting and finishing times and no one who lives there 24/7 can be bothered to post. |

By the way, I love soju. |

Plenty of others requested information about this event. There are a number of posters on this site that (proudly and loudly) live in Itaewon and this isn't the first time that they've dropped the ball about sharing simple information about events in Itaewon. Call me what you want, but I share information with others. It's not that hard for others to do the same, especially when you consider how far some of us have to travel to get to Itaewon. |

Some good stuff there, but the UK stand was a joke: ham and cheese croissant sandwiches! Iced Americano! Cookies!
Cookie is not even a British word and where was the tea?
The shavermas looked great though - the Iranian stand. |

It's a handful of outdoor stalls with a country labelled on them - I saw: Iranian, Turkish, UK, France, Pakistan, America, South Africa and maybe a couple more, but that was it.
The Middle Eastern ones looked good and the eclairs from the French one were decent. It's all clustered at the Noksapeong end of Itaewon's main drag. |

yeah just got back from there and thats all it is, they do have a stage near suji's where nothing really was going on did see a korean band playing there last night.
why they have the street blocked off is beyond me. there is nothing going on beyond the mcdonalds/burger king area
and oh yeah about every 20 meters are the jesus vampire adjummas to harrass you |
