There seem to be an abundance of coffee shops, LP music cafes, restaurants, clothing shops, bakeries, botiques, art galleries, 'tagged' walls, the park near the university, game rooms, etc. (in addition to all the bars and nightclubs). What are your favorites? Know of any off the beaten path places?

Nearby in Sinchon is a cool bar that looks like you're inside a cow on mushrooms.

@rumdiary

That bar sounds vaguely familiar. It wouldn't happen to be all white inside, would it?

The bathrooms are awsome. The pitchers of beer have dry ice.

I like the park, but I'm easily amused. Go at 2 a.m. when everyone is good and drunk and its like an outdoor norebang with live music.

Your site has a lot of potential, however most of the reviews and what not seem so short or not detailed at all. Just my 2 cents.
