espresso coffee is quite hard to find. I saw some at Costco in Daegu about a month ago. You might have to buy your own grinder though. You need tocheck out the Costcos in Seoul anyway if you are new here. Costco is a lifesaver with all the stuff they have.
People do surf here in Busan, at Haeundae and SOngjeon, but the waves are pretty small. The best surfing is in summer, when tehre are more storms and typhoons. It sounds like you are in Seoul though, so I'm not sure up there.
About the Korean -- A good old "hajima" (ha jee mah) should do it. It means "don't do that." Its a useful phrase for a lot of things. |

No problem to find espresso. All the coffee chains will grind and sell their espresso beans.
I have to say though, if staring bothers you that much and you haven't even landed here, you may want to think again about coming. |
