I dont really understand this bar. Maybe tomorrow night warrants a visit. Theres: pizza, dancing, and video games? Because now you're not describing SA, but a middle school house party.

It is pretty much all that. If I remember correctly, it even has Street Fighter 2. I don't know what the group I usually hang out with is doing but if we're doing Itaewon I'll post here or if someone can add me to Kakao group chat I can post there as well. (I don't know how it works).


Oh yeah I've seen him around in Itaewon. Always wears a "Veterans" biker cut right?

I have three regrets
The first is to be born in Joseon.
anyone know what the heck happened to that goon-made Korean history podcast? I've been meaning to listen to it for a while, but now that I went to check, it looks like it's vanished from the internet- the itunes page is gone, the facebook page, the website's offline too. :confused:

Uh, I want to go to that pizza/arcade/dance club.

The Lummox removed his podcast? Guess he got tired of us teasing him about his "storytelling voice." I suggest flooding him with PMs until he's annoyed into sending you the audio files directly.

I would assume so, because

How would you guys say the Korean economy has been trending the last 2 years or so? Anything very noticeable? When I left, restaurants in most towns started to shut down earlier and private tutoring and so on wasn't doing as well as before due to a lack of household income and/or rising expenses. Has that reversed? Gotten better? Any anecdotes or charts/graphs to show? thx in advance

Highly dependent where you live. Where I am at business is booming and the town continues to add 50-100k people every year.

In the last few years the trend, in Seoul, has been towards boutique experiences. Coffee shops, bars, and restaurants have seemed to move much more towards middle class fancy, rather than dirt spoon slop for everything. For example, there's been such a swing in beer drinking culture: micro-brews and specialty brews now made by the big boys and craft beer on the menu at most decent restaurants.

I will be in Korea for all of May to get married and hang with the in-laws. What's the best way to get data access on my phone without using an egg or something like that? Fiancee is Korean citizen if that matters even though we live in the States. I'm looking for convenience, but the Verizon international plan is a huge rip.
