I'm trying to find a post office in Daechi-dong. I've only recently moved here and haven't been able to locate one yet. I've scoured my neighborhood and conducted google searches but to no avail. No one in my office goes to the post office and maps appear to be merely a curiosity to the Koreans I've met. Is there a tourist info. site that has that type of information?

Thank you,
Hoss

Post offices are everywhere. Take a pen and a blank piece of paper to your local LG25 or whatever and ask them to draw you a map.

Daechi is a pretty big area with a few post offices. Which subway station do you live near?

I used to live there. There's one right inside the Eunma apartment complex. That is supposedly an upscale neighborhood, but Eunma Town is full of roaches...my students even heard it was. I saw at least one roach a day in my place for 7 months that year.

We (Hoss and I) live closer to Hanti than Daechi, but they are both within 5-7 min walk.

Okay. You're in luck.

There's a little post office with at least one girl who speaks decent English right near Hanti Station. Go to the intersection of Hanti station and start walking northwards towards Seolleung Station on the right side of the main street (check the road signs for this). After about 150m you should see a very small sidestreet. The post office is about 30m down there on the right.

Actually - speaking of post offices - I have a huge letter to send. How do I go about it? Standard envelope and get stamps there? Tell them where it's going and be told the price?? Silly silly question to ppl who have been here but as a recent arrival it is, like pretty much everything else, a bit of a puzzle at first..

Just go to the post office and make them sort it out for you!! They'll be happy to do it.
