With the wife and girl in Canada, I'm feeling cooped up and restless.

Anyone up for some beer, basketball, or a combination of the two?

That sure sounds nice... I'd join you if it weren't for the mountains of work I gotta do tonight. Evil or Very Mad

Normally not a big beer drinker, but in this weather... beautiful. Hope you enjoy your evening.

A Korean friend told me that in Chongja-dong near the Tan Stream,there's a "cafe alley" so called,to have brunch and sit outside for coffee,beer and what not.Bakeries too...

I was wondering if anyone has been there and what its like.ie How Korean or western it is.

All right, yes, I was wondering if that's what you meant.

The main street in Jeongja is lined with little cafes. Some of them are coffee/cake, a lot are wine/cake. There is a Hawaiian burger place that my meat-eating friends tell me has great burgers, despite the cost. There is one cafe, a little outside the main strip, that looks like a rainforest inside due to all the trees and plants. Also, it has a huge, friendly white dog who loves attention. Smile

I like this area. Actually, if I could choose to (and afford it), I would live in Jeongja. Not only does it have two shops that I like to go to (Huckleberry farms and I Love Cookie), it is quiet and shady and reminds me of Boston. You'll see a lot of late twenty-something childless couples sitting and enjoying a glass of wine or coffee. It is the most expensive area of Bundang, so I hear, so the prices aren't cheap, but it's relaxing and a nice quiet place to spend time with a friend. The street is also good for walking along after dinner.

Nearby there is a Holly's coffee, Starbucks, Holy Chow (a good Chinese place), and along the street there is a Kraze burger, a Subway sandwich shop, and several Italian restaurants that I have not tried. I wouldn't call this a particularly "western" area, but I do feel at home there.

You should stop by the Dublin Irish Bar Bundang . It's really taken off in the past six months , week-ends are great and also Wednesday nights ( live mike night ) Lots of English teachers hang out there, the music is very good too, none of the sentimental cxxp common in other places. I hear there is an English teachers party night on Friday, 'not sure though I am out of town for a week. You can call the bar on 031-7087942 or Joe the owner, an Irish guy on 010 3124 7773. Take Exit 6 from Samsung Plaza, pass KFC thirty metres later Dublin is on your left second floor. Have fun!
