Maxsmart posted:Only go to Taco bell Post Trip Report: Last night the missus and I went to Taco Bell. I got the quesarito and she got the grilled stuffed chicken burrito. Both didn't have beans, but both also didn't have kimchi. The chicken tasted bland as gently caress. The quesarito was good.

Unfunny Poster posted:I spent time before work with my electric fly swatter chasing the bastards around my apartment. It's my new workout routine. Move above the treeline or they will never give you peace. Mosquitoes can live in your drains. In my building the only way they get in is through the drains, so in summer I just close t he bathroom door when I sleep and it stops like 80% of the bastards.

ACT toughens test rules for Korea against cheatingquote:The single test site principle will apply starting with the Dec. 10 test. The new testing site will be the Grand Hilton Seoul. Previously ACT tests were held at international schools and foreign language high schools across the country. This is going to be a shitshow.

Cafe Expo in COEX right now Not sure if you all saw this, but today and tomorrow in COEX is the cafe expo. From what I understand, $15 entrance to have unlimited samples of great coffee. Also coffee art and barista competitions if thats your jam.

Aesis posted:Drink lots of coffee and get heart attack, my fellow goons! The expo was wonderful. I stopped around 12 free mini espressos. 1F was kinda not to my liking. It was just mostly cakes, smoothies, and ice creams. The back section was teas which was okay. But I'm not much of a tea goon. 3F was coffee heaven. There were tons of booths offering free samples of various drip coffees and espressos. The latte and latte art booths had massive lines though, so be careful about that.

Chimie posted:No way I was givin' away my loving crunchwrap! Though I'm pretty sure she would have been ok with my baja chalupa. Or a few fire sauce packets and a straw. That's cheaper than what she offered me. She tried to wrangle me in with some Condo Timeshare technique. After pressuring me on the street corner across from the Hamilton Hotel, she told me it would be free. Even after I claimed I was gay, she just kept looking at my dick and saying, "Nah, you're lying. C'mon let's do it." Sure the blowjob would have been free, but the lovely Itaewon love motel would have been like 40k. Plus that shame and disgust. It would surely last a lifetime.

Unfunny Poster posted:Fair enough. Although I like Hongdae for weekend stuff more than Itaewon, Fountain in Itaewon is pretty dope. There's a goddamn pizza place inside that club. Like what the gently caress? Really? I've only been outside of Fountain, never inside. Although there's a booth pizza apparently upstairs from it. So there exists a bar with arcade games, and a pizza stand inside? This sounds pretty much like somethingawful dot com the bar.

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 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.

dsh posted: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. You can buy a sim card at the airport or in the major shopping areas like Myeongdong. I bought one recently and it was maybe 30k for a couple hours talking time and 1-3gb data. It had a time limit of maybe 1 month.

Grand Fromage posted:I brought three bottles of liquor through Korean customs a couple weeks ago and they didn't even check. Depends who is working that day. Worst case scenario you have to pay duty on everything over the limit. Back in 2012 I brought a 3L bottle of soju in my checked luggage to the US. No one cared. But this was back in the obambo #5 era. Maybe things are different now

So my heir apparent and wife are planning on visiting Korea this spring. It's my understanding that he's gonna need a Korean passport to go into Korea, and will need his US passport to get back into the US, right? I'd love to join them, but I used up all of my vacation time last fall to help be a good dad and help raise him in those first few months. So, sorry kgoons no soju chugs

nullscan posted:Hongdae was fun as hell 15 years ago, but I'm an old man now. 10 years ago I moved to Seoul apparently and now I've been having some really strong Matt Damon in Saving Private Ryan moments this year. I imagine Hongdae has fallen to the same fate as every other cool party spot in Seoul from 10 years ago: the grimy fun parts have been pushed out in favor of franchise cafes and upscale cookie/cupcake shops.
