Going back to the same places, seeing the same faces. This is particularily the case in Itaewon I find. Hongdae and Sinchon are ok from time to time, but if I'm honest with myself it doesn't really do it for me. Kangnam/Apkjuong are expensive, quiet and uninspiring.
Drawing to the end of my contract so maybe its just the fact that familarity does lead to contempt (perhaps too strong a word, but you get my drift). Feel like my money would be better directed into some really fantastic nights out when i get home and on long, exotic holidays. |

Hmm. Maybe you should leave Korea, Seoul, and get new surroundings. I sympathize with you. After I've been in one place for a while, it gets old. I find it hard to get attached to things (even people) for long periods of time. Maybe you should go backpack around for a while, or vacation. I was only in Vancouver for 6 months after getting back from Europe before I lost toleration for my regular, usual, surroundings, people, work, etc. Had to out there again & travel, change it up a bit. Life is boring when it's same-old same-old. Get some new surroundings, people, etc, and things might be good for ya.  |

| Try a random subway stop for a night out - Sillim has a decent nightlife, as does the Konkuk University area. Even Monchontoseong has a fair amount of places to go for some beers... you don't have to restrict yourself to the 'obvious' places. |

Maybe you need to go see different friends.. call some that you haven't seen in awhile.. or haven't been out with in awhile.. or never been out with before.
I find the experiences of who you are out with more interesting many times than what bar you are drinking in. |

| The responsibility of not being bored squarely rests on the shoulders of the bored. |
