I have a question for those of you who hate/dislike Itaewon or find it seedy, disgusting, dirty, etc.
Where are you originally from? |

No, I expected a lie.
Anyway, if you'd been to Harlem recently you'd know that it's completely gentrified. |

| None of your business. Itaewon is a toilet. |

Yes I was kidding.
However, you do have a valid point. How people view Itaewon is compared to where they are from. I come from a pretty conservative city so Itaewon looks like a cesspool to me. But if you came from New York, Itaewon is like Paris. |

South Africa.
Here's my take. If I wanted to hang out with sleazy Nigerians/Ghanaians/Senegalese etc, I would have stayed at home. We have plenty in JNB. If I wanted to hang out with a group of 19 year old GIs who are glad that they can drink, and haven't had the opportunity to blow off steam at University, well I would have enlisted. If I wanted to hang out with the throngs of other Westerners (I'm urged to use the word misfits, but i'll refrain) I would have been better off in London (where I've lived), New York, or just about anywhere other than Korea.
I have been to Itaewon 5 times in 2 years. Two of those times was JUST to grab some pizza with the gf (there's one place she really likes). (While I don't live "in" Seoul...I go there 2-3 times a week).
For the record, Itaewon is the ONLY place in Korea my gf says she feels uncomfortable in. While I don't feel uncomfortable there...I'd definitly call it the armpit of Korea. |

| I don't like Itaewon anymore because it is so much less of a shit hole than it used to be. A lot less fun these days. |

I pop in during the day every 3 or 4 months to get some grub at 3 Alley Pub and flirt with Ocean at Syd & Mel's, then I get on the bus home before the sun goes down.
Oh, and I'm from Portland via New Mexico. It kind of reminds me of the Central avenue area of Albuquerque.

| Sorry, man. It's just a glorified college strip that fused with a ghetto. |
