What about Robson-ro, formerly known as Robsonstrasse?

Is this an ongoing Canadian in-joke?

I lived on Bathurst and shopped on Bloor, as two major roads in Toronto, and Robson is a major Vancouver avenue.

Coincidence? Or did you guys just forego the smilies?

1. Shinchon/Hongdae
3 - 98 Anywhere with some character and not a government planned (boring) place like Bundang or Ilsan
99. Kangnam (too many pretentious try hards, the bars are expensive and it is an ugly)

Living near Itaewon or hongdae would be very nice. The foreigner factor will keep you sane.

Bundang looks nice but if, like me, you want to have a little fun now and then, Bundang is not the place for you. It's bland. That's me being generous.

You think Seongnam is nice!!!! Have you been there? Or just to Namhansanseong?

Seongnam is noisy, dirty and old (by Korean standards). Say you live in Seongnam and Koreans wrinkle their noses and sympathise with you!!!

I was there for a year (as well as a year in Bundang) and despite it being more fun than Bundang, (anywhere is more fun than Bundang!!!) I would never go back there.

Eamo, you have to admit, the girls who hang around Seohyeon on a Friday night is a pretty good argument for Bundang being a GREAT place to live.
