I finally found a store with exactly what I'm looking for . . . after a day of searching the web . . . the problem: I CAN'T FIND WHERE IT IS LOCATED!!!!

http://www.indonara.com/

They have Korean directions. . . but I can't read those. They don't even give an easily-identifiable address for me to Google-Map it!

PLEASE HELP ME!!! I wanna go there tomorrow, but I don't know where it is!!!

Ehwa University Station (Line 2)
Walk out exit 2

(Ministop on your right
walk toward Sinchon intersection
turn right
turn left
across the street from)

phone #: 365-3665

print/copy that map and show it to Koreans once you walk out of the station.

Well, here's your Korean lesson for the day. =P
Reading the map:

The green circle on the bottom right corner is the subway station.
It says
이대여대역 2호선

역 : station, therefore: Ehwa Station
호선: line, therfore: line 2 (green line)


On the left are the walking directions from the station.
It says 2번출구

번: number
출구: exit

Therefore, exit number 2.

The black circles are bus stops. 버스

I can read some Korean . . . but not enough to figure out where it was (there were no landmarks that I could pinpoint, like 역).

Someone PMed me with a nice translation of the directions.

I am so grateful for everyone's help! . . . one hour of endless wandering (with too much baggage from work) is enough for one weekend.

I've been in Korea since 2008. Yes, the maps says Subway and has arrows pointing towards the station, but doesn't show where they are . . . just because there's a subway station to the left, doesn't tell you WHERE it is . . . it could be 100m, or even 500m! (That makes it hard to pinpoint).

what is indonara about?

[MaestroCantus]

I went there . . . not really that nice.

They have body piercing jewelry, but the store was dusty, crowded, and I didn't trust them to do my piercing. (Plus, their stock wasn't as good as the place I found to do my piercing).

I recommend Crow Piercing in Hongdae . . . go to Hongik University station on line 2, and walk around and find some Korean dressed in typical punk attire, and try to communicate with them that you want to know where a piercing place is . . . I had some body piercing jewelry, but you can print out a picture, and simply ask in Korean "Where is it?" --- That's what I did . . . and the cute, Korean punk couple in their zippered, leather jackets led me to Crow Piercing.

I guess my quest continues.

"Indo" is the Korean name for India, isn't it?

magically I found what I was looking for on google. in case anyone else was wondering where crow piercing is, there is a handy map on this website.
