Foreigners used to go to the Wa Bar near Ori station when I lived near there 2 years ago.

But, basically, it's a suburban black hole for fun.

Wa Bar in Suji closed months ago... I lived in Suji for a year and battled that problem the entire time I was there... not a goddamn thing to do there... needless to say, I am glad to be gone and so will you when your contract is over.

You're bored in SUJI? SUJI is a carnival of excitment compared to where I'm stationed.

In Korea it's up to you to make your own fun. I'd suggest buying a car and exploring the country.

I've been in Suji for about five months, and can't complain. Yeah, the Wa closed so we're hunting for a new stomping ground. Often us waygooks will go to the Beer Hunter downtown. I agree that you have to look for your own activities. I know a few people who take Kumdo lessons. I bought myself a bike and pedal through Bundang on to Seoul once in while. There's hikes into Suwon. If you need to, catch a bus into Seoyeong and hit up Monkey Beach. There's lots of foreigners there.

Just hang out and meet locals. If they're not red-faced and yelling "YA!" at you,
they're likely to feed you and get you hammered. ooh, and take you to the noraebang.

Ok moving to Suji in about a month...Is it really that bad??? I'm more into the the culture and more traditional or interesting spots. As long as I get my coffee and occasional bars I would be fine. Anything like that in Suji? Also regarding the transport. How far is it from the railway?

15-20 minutes by bus (they take the long way round or 3-4 stops on the subway.

That will get you to Seohyun station ( the irish bar and the monkey bar). Lots of expats kicking around here.

You guys are scaring me....I am moving to Suji in two weeks expecting at least some bars, some cafes, some lessons of some sort etc... but am I to expect that it will be crappy?

There aren't any bars? restaurants? anything fun?

I already signed the contract so I am stuck for a year...anyone want to form our own clique and get the partying started? No...i guess its tv and movies for me for a year...is there at least a liquor store somewhere?

I went to Suji once. Went to meet a girl for a date. The taxi driver said "I am gangsta. Gangsta! I am killa!"

That was about the most exciting thing about Suji for me.

Oh yeah, the girl. The only exciting thing about her is that she pronounced "insurance" as "insurance-ee."

I noticed that there wasn't much to do in Suji.
