Particularly the spot that goes under the bridge and leads down to the Han River. Where the two green buses are on the map.

Go to wikimapia.com...if you do that, you will be able to find a land mark near where you want to go. That map you linked to had nothing to mark the location...there are *lots* of bridges on the Han River.

Cool, you can print out maps and visually show a driver. If you know how to get there, you can say this.

Orun-jok for right turn. Wen-Jok for left turn. Dok paro kajusayo for go straight. Or just say the name of the place or a major landmark nearby. "XXX kajusayo."

Well, I'm trying to learn Korean, but it's hard and I know this is not completely speaking properly, but it works wonders much more than nothing. Komopsumida.

Thanks. I can speak "Taxi Korean" sorta well. I plan to ride my bicycle there and meet a friend who is going to rent a bike. So, I wanted to tell him how to get a taxi there.

Anyway, your answer was thoughtful, so thanks....
