Any clue what subway exit that is and is it visible or anything from the street?

I just don't want to get up early and spend two hours hunting for a building that has a sign the size of a peanut five floors off the ground.

I've only been there once, and it was almost 2 years ago. I know it's a pretty short walk from Myeong-dong, but that's about where my help ends.

Yet another shining example of Korea's ability to make everything as complicated as possible.

I saw a post giving directions to a barbershop that ran about.

this long the other day.

I've seen this kind of madness in backwater SE Asian countries, but never in a major Asian city. It's well past time to name the f'n streets in this city, assign addresses, and make it easier for everyone, not just foreigners, to get around.

The actual embassy is an older chinese looking building in myong dong. However, they do visa processing in an office in the Kyobo building in kwanghwamun..
If you need a visa, save yourself alot of time and a big headache and just pay a travel agent to get the visa for you. That place is a zoo.

That's the address for the Chinese embassy you're NOT allowed to enter, not the one in Myeong-dong. (Found that out on Monday.)

They might not be able to do it for him. I'm going to China and the travel agent couldn't get my visa because I'm not Korean.

Besides, once I found the place it was really fast. The downside is you have to go early in the morning...and probably twice (unless you go real early and are will to pay extra).

Take exit 3 at Myeongdong, turn around and take a right and the corner. Then you pretty much walk straight up the hill to the embassy. You'll have to take the right side when it splits. You can also ask anyone in the area, as they all know where it is.
