anyone know of rooms available? already checked worknplay.co.kr

thanks

people usually crosspost on englishspectrum and eslcafe I think, but it's always worth it to check all of them. The best advice I can give you though, is to make some Itaewon-area local friends fast, and get on their facebooks, ask everyone in person, rooms go quickly and are rarely advertised publicly. Rocky Mountain Tavern, etc, the usual Itaewon dives where ESL teachers will be, are your best bets, there might even be fliers and whatnot.

Be careful, btw.

just got to korea and im jetlagged as hell

[dismalfuture]

MiK23: SNSD girl. Hop to it.

[madeinkorea23]

dismal, what will i get out of this if i do get in touch with her again?

[dismalfuture]

If she is DTF I will buy you a pair of Lavinz from the Galleria

[thomas_highstreet]

wait, how do i get my free pair of lavinz?

[madeinkorea23]

i dont know dismal, jessica is getting quite popular these days so i think shes worth more than a pair of lavinz. i gained some weight after i met my girlfriend last year and so i do not fit those dior 21's i bought when i was in korea 2 years ago any more so what i would appreciate more is if you pay for my lipo/gastric bypass or just buy me bigger size diors, it would be much appreciated.

[dizzhizz]

mik came to korea to kop diors. classic.

went to anma last night in sinsa dong. it was epic.

[madeinkorea23]

haha why is korea so damn overpriced? went to shinsegae yesterday and just browsed around louis vuitton and i was shocked at the prices. i copped my gf's speedy in the states for 700 something after tax, i thought it would be cheaper here but they said 95 man won so i was like wtf.

and dizz, you mean anma as in the dirty anma's right?

[dizzhizz]

yes, as dirty as they get. event service too. wow!

[Ahlvahroe]

is anma, another club? cause i need to find new places to hang out, getting bored of the monotony, again

[madeinkorea23]

damn, what do u mean by event service? did you pay a lot? girls hot at all?

[dizzhizz]

is anma, another club? cause i need to find new places to hang out, getting bored of the monotony, again

LOLz.

anma = massage parlous with happy ending

[Ahlvahroe]

nice. i guess thats why it didnt show up on the list of clubs in seoul.

sup niggahz

Coming to Seoul from japan on the 28th for a weekend to buy kwija's DH luster napoleon jacket, for $6k. My boss back in the US is actually sending me here to buy it for him, hes a weird motherfucker...

anyway, as I don't have much to spend and will be there alone, with no korean knowledge, any suggestions on lodging and shit to do or see? any input is appreciated!

[dismalfuture]

lol, is your boss Kanye?

[luxaeterna]

I wish, this dudes a short brown molecular biologist. Cool as fuck though.

[dismalfuture]

He has to steez that hard when he works on molecules?

[luxaeterna]

haha, yeah. he's pretty straightlaced in the lab, but outside he loves to go clubbing and shit.

fuck man, does Seoul have net cafes I can sleep and shower in?

[thomas_highstreet]

haha.. just find a hotel.

[dismalfuture]

Dude isn't paying for your accomodations? Love hotels are pretty cheap and nice here but on the weekends they get kinda packed and go up in price, like $100 on those days. I spent $230 the other day and stayed in the Park Hyatt, which I found out is more worth it if you rape the bar and room service and then the check out bill will be more like $500

[luxaeterna]

Boss expects me to go fly in fly out same day, but I want to at least check out the city a little bit before I go. I booked my ticket so I could stay all day saturday.

I guess I'll just bite the bullet and get a hotel...appreciate the advice.

I wish it were colder so I could wear his jacket and go out for a while.

[luxaeterna]

soo, booking a hotel. any recommendations? I trust SuFu

[dismalfuture]

Park Hyatt if you can afford it, it's worth the money.

The W is good.

The Grand Hyatt and Shilla are both passably decent, former better than the latter

[dizzhizz]

good call on the 5 star hotels dismal. the marriot in kangnam terminal is also good in terms of location.

as for downtown seoul, lotte hotel and the chosun are also quite decent.

[madeinkorea23]

man im starting to slowly miss the states a little. i miss driving around and im sick of seeing all these young fuckers pushing R8's and lambo's around rodeo for an hour trying to find that one prime parking spot.

[greasypeanut]

so ud rather see accords and camrys battle it out for parking spots?

[thomas_highstreet]

mad lambos outside mass on the weekends

no steez tho. i got more steez in a mini van.

[luxaeterna]

Hell yeah, got a small bonus so I got a room at the Park Hyatt...this shit is gonna be baller as hell. I'm thinking about a DMZ tour also. Thanks for the recommendations dismal, you rock.

[dismalfuture]

you will like it, the Park is the best in Korea, the bathrooms are insane. The rest of the 5 star hotels in Korea resemble Best Westerns with nicer tv's and beds and cost low 3 figures; the Park Hyatt, once you get in and open the closet doors up, makes you go wow.

It's connected to COEX mall through the subway underpass so you can go check that out too, nothing to buy in there but it's got A/C and lot of girls just wandering around.
