'for 30,000 won customers will get two pints of Guinness.' Shocked

Think I'd obviously go for the 50,000 unlimited then, which is of course the false choice they wanted to present us with!

I wonder if they'll actually hire some bar staff who know how to pour pints this year? I got so bloody sick of waiting last year that I left - meaning two pints of Guinness cost me 50,000.

If you had to wait then surely they were pouring them the right way.

Nope. The staff hadn't a bloody clue. I wanted to go round the other side of the bar and clear the backlog. Maybe they'll have hired some staff that actually know how to work behind a bar, but I doubt it.

Is this like the more-'variety"-the better type of deal? or is it all one kinda "thing" ?

The Irish Ambassador to Korea will be making a speech? Do you expect him to have a drink or three that day, as well? Laughing Talk about a license to drink- Irish Ambassador to Korea on St Patrick's Day.

How exactly do I get to the free day festival and not the joke going on in Gangnam? Is it the main street in Insadong?

Hopefully they'll have free Guinness again.

Ever since they moved the parade from Daehangno to Cheongye Plaza, it's gone down hill every year. At least Hyehwa has a fake Irish pub, and tons of other bars and restaurants

Seems it was moved again this year. And I thought it was great last year, especially towards the end when they stopped being stingy with the free guinness.
