Hi, I'm considering going with a school in Amsa and was wondering if anyone has any good or bad opinions on the place? What's the actual area like and are there things like gyms, western-restaurants, good shopping, etc, nearby? Many other foreigners in this area?
Is it easy to get to areas like Gangnam and Itaewon? |

I was just offered a job there, too, and am wondering about the place.
Do you know the name of the dong in which the school is located?

| Amsa, end of pink line, near Cheonho? Seems all right. Cheonho is a shooping area with Hyundai dept store, Emart, and other. Chamsil and Gangnam are near enough. |

| I live and work in Amsa-dong. I've been here for a around 3 months and on the whole I'm fairly pleased with my choice of location. I find the environment to be a lot cleaner than down town and you're guaranteed to be close to the river. To be honest, night life isn't that pumping but as a previous poster said Cheonho is close - and that's a pretty cool place to hang out... I wouldn't get too excited about the prehistoric settlement site though (I always see it mentioned on tourist info leaflets) - there really isn't much to it!! |
