Seohyun Station, at Samsung Plaza. Look for Dublin or Monkey Beach.

I live near Yatap Station.

Could you give some specific directions to Dublin or Monkey Beach?

Seohyun station.
Up the escalator to the lobby of Samsung Plaza.
Out the south doors. (if you see Krispy Kreme donuts you went the wrong way).
Look on the 2nd floor a few buildings down on your left hand side for the signs. It is a little bit south of and across from KFC.

I take it Seohyun is not the same, but close to, Yatap. Is that right? And which exit is that? There are always at least 4.

I think its exit 5 for dublin and exit 6 for monkey beach.
Please note: monkey beach is a dive! cheap beer, smoky and usually full of air force guys.....not much fun.

Dublin is definitely superior to Monkey Beach. It's roughly across from KFC on the side of the plaza with the Starbucks and the Kyobo Book Store. It's on the second floor of a building with, um, I think a clothing store called "Jewelish" and a convenience store.

2 stops south of yatap on the subway. It is a 20 minute walk on a nice day and a 3000 won cab if you are drunk at 3am Sunday AM.

This is a little story about 4 friends named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and nobody. There was an important job to do, and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done the job easily enough, but Nobody wanted to do it. Everybody got angry because it was Somebody's job to do. At first, Everybody thought that Anybody would do it, but soon Somebody found out that Nobody did it. It ended up that Everybody got angry at Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.





(Sorry, I use this with my students all the time - just couldn't resist.)

It's a great little story. Thanks, KC. I think I'll steal it for my classes.
