If anyone has insights that I may have left out, by all means, add to them,
As you all certainly know, things change quick, and sometimes the info is out of date.
Remember I an in Nowon Gu, and rarely make it to the certain of town, unless it is to embibe in a fine Guiness at the Wolfhound.
Others in different neighbourhoods might have different info you are looking for.
Anyhoo, I welcome all new comers, and I hope you enjoy the ride. There can be some really great moments, but then there are also non to appealing times.
