I don't remember seeing any big bookstores in Bundang ... when I lived there I'd go to Seoul or order from What The Book.

The USO is open in Seoul...having been military all my life...I often went to a USO at an airport to wait for departure or in another country.

They have great food , pc's...large screen tv...all kinds of magazines and newspapers, etc to read...
might give that a whirl.

OK, I remember it now. I've been there, but I preferred the bookstores in Seoul.

Ordering online was more convenient for me:

in a recent post somebody mentioned www.whatthebook.com Check that out.

The bookstore in Ori . . . is that the one in the CGV building? Do they have English books? I was there early last year and they didn't. It's cool if they do now.

Where is the bookstore in Sunae?

They're getting better, though, carrying some hardcover releases and improving their stock of classics. Plus it's Seohyeon -- lots of cute babes.

Not that I care much for that sort of thing, but others might.

The one near Ori stn is Youngpoong bookstore in Apple Plaza, 3rd floor.

It has a small number, maybe 100+, of English language novels and such, and a pretty good supply of EFL books/materials.

It's worth a visit if you live near there.

Apple Plaza just opened recently, right behind Carrefour.

I've been to the one in Apple Plaza and it's relatively small selection compared to Seohyun (which I visited after I got responses).
But I'm real interested in the one in Sunae how do I get to it?
