I need to know if things shut down here - my semi-unreliable korean connection (information changes depending on what day I ask) has mentioned that I might have trouble getting food from grocery stores.

And - is the subway going to be jam packed?

the next three days will be like Christmas back home. Everything is closed. subway should be relatively empty.

What about the bars and restaurants in Itaewon?

Are they closed too?

Nothing is open this weekend. You should have bought massive quantitites of food last Thursday. BIG MISTAKE.

Now you're going to watch you starve.

Most things were open in Itaewon today--I was there between 11 and 4 or so.

Tomorrow (Sunday) morning is the real holiday. Nothing anywhere will be open, but then few things are ever open on Sunday morning. Some things will open up in the afternoon and even more in the evening.

Monday will be like today--many places, especially bars/restaurants, open. The days of everything being closed for all 3 days are over.

I rode 6 subways today and only had to stand on one of them. There were even fewer people riding in the late afternoon than there were this morning.

EMART IS DEFINITELY CLOSED TOMORROW!

(One would have to be mad to go on Sunday anyway, but if you're reading this and wanna do shopping tomorrow, go now!)

Homever at the world cup stadium was mobbed today, funny thing was the subway over was empty and were the streets going back.

Hongdae tonite is as quiet as I've ever seen it at this hour on a sat nite, very few people out. at least the greek rest near shooters was open.

I LOVE Seoul now and at Chusok such a nice change of pace

Yes, most things will be closed Sunday. I was in E-Mart on Friday and my wife said they will be open on Monday. Also CostCo will be open on Monday as well. I'm not sure about anything else.
