ok.. i feel totally pathetic writing this, but anyway.. i'm new in seoul and i work in a pretty small hagwon; all the foreigners i bump into out and about seem to be about 10 years older than me and probably not the going-out type. so, what i want to know is, where's the party at? i'm an ordinary 21 year old guy who isn't a freak, and i just want to meet some laid-back people near to my own age who like drinking and going
out.

You can find any amount of foreigners in their 20s in Itaewon and Hongdae (Hongik university).

Hey, don't insult the older people. I am 32 and still go to nightclubs in Kangnam, but I probably feel like going home at 3. I think most people here are boozers. Where do you live? Do you want to go where the foreigners go or where the Koreans go?

sorry for the age prejudice, kangnamdragon. i take back what i implied about thirtysomethings!
anyway yeah i don't have a preference re. waygooks or koreans (i'm british myself) but i have to say i'm not too crazy about itaewon. i've heard good things about hongdae though and i'd be up for going there.

your locations says you are near Busan though...maybe you should ask Busan people...that is very far from Seoul

I've only just got here, as well. I would go drinking with you, but I'm afraid I don't know my way around here yet.

We should all get together and get drunk. I haven't met as many westerners ad I'd like to since I'm the only one at my school.

Itaewon is a great place to start off on a saturday afternoon, early evening then head out to hongdae/ wherever. Theres heaps of "young boozers" there every weekend. Don't let what's written on this board put you off. Explore places for yourself.

I'm 22 and I love Hongdae Smile

Itaewon is OK some nights, it depends where you go though...
