 |
|
Friend is getting married on Sunday.
I've only been to Songtan once but I seem to remember
a couple "show" style bars that had girls in bikinis dancing and such.
Are those still around in Songtan.
Note: not looking for pay to play
just a few drinks with the boys with something in lieu of strippers. |

I fear you may be the victim of some gross hyperbole. You won't mind anything interesting in songtan unless you find a sausage fest of marines sitting around miserable as they are too broke to get drunk interesting ....with the odd scattering of bored fillipinas who expect you to slurge out 10 bucks a drink for the privelege of talking to them...This might be unfair ....and I'm not 100% sure...but as a casual observer I don't think they actually have that much wisdom /interesting socio-political discourse to impart...
you certainly won't find strippers ...proto-strippers...meta-strippers..strippers mach II or any descriptions of strippers really....you will find annoyingly loud hip hop though...
but I'm a miserable bastard who wouldn't enjoy himself even if i was suckling heroin from venus's *beep*....so don't take my advice .... |

| You might have more luck in Dongducheon, 'down range' in front of Camp Casey, or near Pyeongtaek, in front of Camp Humphries for that sort of thing. |

Well shit, man, if you were that keen to go to Songtan on the hunt for a whoot-whooting good time at a peepshow, what's the extra fifteen minutes to Humphries?
There's no pleasing some people. |

Not too many marines in Songtan, or Korea. And you're right; Songtan is absolutely the worst place in Korea to party, dine or shop. Keep putting the word out - the less people come down here, the better.

Now you're talking sense. The fewer RMT frat boy blockheads on the prowl there, the better. |

sorry...not a rmt frat blck head...just a skater with his friends trying to show another friend a good time.
15 minutes to pyeontaek after songtan eh? Could be an option, I thought it was a lot further. Any specifics? What about restaurants in the area?
cheers. |

It's a been a while, but ...
I'd get off the subway at Seojeong-ri and ask a taxi driver to take you Camp Humphries main gate. Should do the trick. As for restaurants and places to stay, like I said, it's been a while and I have no idea. |

Juicy bars suck. I've actually met and befriended some of the juicy girls in Songtan. As a favor, they don't constantly hit me up for drinks. And the juicy bars STILL suck. It's depressing to be surrounded by women whose occupation is the bastard child of telemarketing and prostitution, women who may very well have come here thinking they were getting factory jobs.
On the other hand, I know from talking to the juicy girls there (I'm regular pen pals with one of them, who moved back to the Phillipines) that Songtan has the lowest incident of truly non-consensual juicy girls, and pretty much no forced prostitution. OB House is one bar that I know for a fact doesn't dabble in slavery, although they do everything they can to cheat their girls out severance pay and short them on bonuses.
.... Oh for God sake, just do the party in Hongdae. |

| Juicy bars ....where best case scenario some people get to buy the illusion they aren't repugnant ....whilst for the less fortunate they get to realise you are both repugnant and broke... |

 I know what you mean.
Yeah, stay away from Songtan (we have enough drunken debauchery as it is). And the OB House. And Lynn the juicy girl.
I'm not sure but isn't Camp Humphreys a little far from Seojeong-ri station? Pyeongtaek is 3 stops from Songtan, but honestly I don't know much about that area except that the red light district doesn't cater to foreigners (please correct me if I'm wrong--it sucks having to go all the way to Suwon!) |

| Go to Pyongtaek station. Get out. Walk about a block. Wait for bus 20. You'll be there in just shy of a half hour. No train goes out there. If you're with a group of people, just split a cab. It'll run you about 18,000 won total, still take a half hour, but it'll be much more pleasant. I can assure you though, Humphreys is even more of a dive than Songtan. And the sidewalks are unfinished, so it's really muddy. Every time I've gone there, I've needed to scrub the bottom of my shoes when I got home. Fewer juicy bars, fewer expat women, more teenage Fucking New Guys trying to re-enact Full Metal Jacket. |
