I did my Hep vaccines maybe 1.5 years ago. It was 3 rounds of shots here and I think cost me total of $120?

He's asking about the Human papilloma virus, not the hepatitis virus.

I did a basic search and three shots of gardasil will set you back ~$300+ US. They don't really vaccinate men here yet, but I can't see it being any cheaper for men.

This thread seems pretty dead. Did everyone go home because all the jobs dried up or what?

I don't miss only having alcohol as a way to relax. Sadly, soju is now $7/bottle for me if I ever want it.

Hey get back into chat.

In other news I went up Seoraksan last Thursday.

Took the long trek up to HUFS area with astr0man to try it, and I'll have to say The Ganges was very good.

I have a korean friend in changwon, let me ask her

EDIT: just go to kimbap cheonguk 김밥 천국(kimbap heaven) it's everywhere. The jae yook dop bab (spicy pork and rice) was a favorite of mine. Don't eat the side dishes there, tho.

EDIT 2: or even hansot, that's a cheap chain too

hansot is fast food quality, kimbapcheonguk is slightly higher than fast food quality (I love bongu bapburger). They are safe go-to's so you don't have to resort to McDonalds the whole time you're here.

I would say English on the menu is a marker for 8k+ food, if you want to go cheaper than that you want to find a local mom-and-pop(mostly mom) ie non-chain brand restaurant. If they care at all about making money then they won't mind taking a minute making a few recommendations for you.

Whatever you do though don't be like those 4 foreigner guys that camped out Brooklyn burger the other day I was there. They were already done eating when I sat down and were still chilling when I got up to leave, with 3+ teams waiting to grab a seat.

ps. the word for gym is 헬스 (health), check out several because quality varies widely and some may try ripping you off

month to month membership

I know this is A Thing but I don't think this is good advice because 1) you are paying a lot more going month to month 2) I haven't actually had this happen to anybody I know personally

I guess the key point is to just be careful and don't hand them your money without looking around first, maybe ask a friend to vouch for a place.

Eat bbq, drink makgeolli. Myeongdong kalguksu is famous for a reason, go there and get noodles. Go to Seoul Pub at 3 AM.

pretty much this. I'd say there's probably no reason to go South of the river, so get a place up North. If you tell us what you're interested in we may be able to make suggestions. Install kakaotalk and join chat.

If I had broken it I'd put my hands up and pay for it, but I didn't. Tempered glass just shatters spontaneously sometimes. If it had happened two minutes earlier when I was showering it would have hosed me up pretty badly.

I'm not paying to have their building's haunted rear end bathroom fixed. If they try and stiff me on my security deposit I'm going to paint everything bright neon green before I leave.

on the bright side, think how much more room you'd have to do your dishes!

So tomorrow I'm finally going to Jeju, and it looks like it's going to rain the entire time I'm there. Any of you know of interesting 'indoor' activities on Jeju? We're strongly considering a trip to the Magpie Brewery.

Anything else?

Sex park obviously. Maybe the aquarium? Naver says Hello Kitty Island is a nice indoor activity. Honestly I think you're boned. Buy a rain jacket because all the nice stuff is outdoors.

Things I would be sad if I didn't get to do them: 우도, 성산일출봉/섭지코지

Back from Jeju. we did the lava tubes and that crater mountain island thing nervana mentioned. Was nice time and I wish I could have stayed longer.. Still though, I can scratch Jeju off my bucket list now.

Let's go again. Does magpies do actual tours of their place or what. Guri are you going to show us where you put the special sauce in?

Doesn't cost too much so I would get it if I were you. "Free wifi everywhere" is definitely misleading as while it would be possible to do if you were on a tight budget, would be kind of a pain to look for one.

The KG burger was amazing.

afaik they still have one near Seoul Station. Kind of a shame because in Korea Lotteria has the best local style burger(and mozzarella sticks) but when you wanted a real burger that tastes like stuff from back home Kraze is best.

Huh, that's kind of neat. The etymology of loan words in the language is cool. Like, this was the first time I'd heard people use the term "Vacons" for summer break.

Both are French loan words. pension for hotel/bordinghouse and vacance for holiday.

I've only been there once but I was not very impressed with the food there. If it is the makgeoli, there are plenty good places around now. If it is the lovely/awesome interior, there are many of those near universities. What am I missing?
