Wangsimni Station has a blood donation facility. They are in need of Types A and O currently.

Check out the Red Cross. I haven't done so, but from their web site, you should be able to donate.

Quote:
Each of these Blood Centers has at least one staff member who can conduct a donor interview in English. Please contact the Center ahead of time and make an appointment to ensure a smoother visit.

I was turned down by the Red Cross a few years ago. However, there was a kid in Pusan a couple of years ago who needed O- and his family were more than happy that waygookins volunteered.

Like so many things here, it is variable.

After being turned down volunteering your blood? Then they needed yours?

Oh man, I would have had quite the pay day if I wwould have been in your shoes. Either that, or I would have made the blood center employees and family do Fear Factoresqe labors.

Yeah, they don't want your impure waygook blood. If you work at a high school you could try sneaking on the blood bus when it comes around but I doubt you'd have much success.
