| The Dongdaemun area is nice, but crowded and noisy. Being centrally located in Seoul is nice for transportation. One drawback is you may have to go to Seoul Station to Lotte Mart to buy groceries if you want more than street food and fruit, but you would be on Line 1 and 4, both take you to Seoul Station a few stops away. You also have the Chongyecheong (spelling?) River nearby for moonlight strolls. |

| Sinseol-dong is a decent area. Home Plus can be found the next stop down on Line 2. |

| I'd be wary. YBM has a bad rep. Be careful. Lokk at the blacklists. There are many YBM chains on there. |
