I had a co-worker call and that afternoon someone was out installing internet. As for the phone, I had a pay as you go thing and was only able to get it after I got my ARC. Some may have had different experiences. Having to top it up was sometimes a challenge though. I tried going to many many places, but only the store I originally bought the phone from was able to understand and help.

Good luck.

Is that what the hogwon owner or recruiter told you?????

Guri isn't IN Seoul. In fact it is quite far from central Seoul.

Guri would be a prime pounding zone from N.Korea artillery.
