Anybody know where to get it done? They don't have to speak English or anything; it's just that I have never seen anything like a framing shop around here.

There's an art/framing district near Samgakchi station.

or you can go to chungmoro. there is a big camera shop/printing/framing area there.

go out of exit 5. walk about 100 meters until you get to this big office building on your right (name escapes me), but you will see all the camera shops on the intersecting street. hang a right and wander around. lots of places.

Thanks everyone! Just in case anyone's wondering how this panned out, I went to Samgakchi station. I didn't get very far, because just outside exit 14 there were two picture framing places. I went into the shabbier one and got two medium-sized prints matted and framed for 50k.

Thanks again folx! Very Happy

Not sure exactly, because they're still @ the shop, but I'm guessing that, unmatted, one was about 35x50cm and the other about 40x70cm? If he understood me correctly, he'll put a mat about 8cm all the way around, so I guess that makes them about 50x65 and 55x85cm.

Wow, thanks for the update. 50K isn't bad! I've never actually gotten anything framed there...just saw the shops. I have a painting hanging around that I'll definitely take there.
