Anyone else after the sun kissed look? Do you know of a quality salon with strong bulbs in Kangnam?

I doubt it. Koreans prefer white/pale skin, and are basically afraid of the sun. Shame, as I really really dig the darker complected (sp?) Korean girls.

There is one in Itaewon, above the Burger King.

Never been, but plan to in the winter when I crave that sun feeling.

I went to one in Noksapyeong that was pretty good-though the woman that runs the place does not keep it very clean..........

Still looking for a place in Gangnam!

There is one in Kangnam, but I dont know the name of it. I just know how to get there. Ill do my best to explain it to you but I havent been by there in a while.

Walk up the road from Gangnam station toward Kyobo (on the Kyobo side of the street). Turn left onto one of the alley roads (the road is directly across the street from either Canon or Olympus.....sorry I forget which one). I believe the shop is on the first corner (maybe second) on the 5th floor. There is a big sign out in front of the shop of a western woman getting a facial.

I know this is rather vague, but I hope it helps.

I went to Seoul once and met a girl in Hongdae. She took me back to her place. She lived in Itaewon. She had a tanning bed in her apartment. I guess you should go lez (she seemed pretty easy) and find her place. Then it'd be free. (For prospective newbies to Korea, if you're going to Seoul then in my experience it is a dream come true. You are a rock star. The girls are beautiful and easy. Rock on. I think I wanta move there. Maybe I spent too much time in the 'country' though. Ohh)

Who wanst extra wrinkles? Instead, why not try an airbrush tan? I prefer the ghostly pale alabaster look like Nicole Kidman anyways.
