Dude, its your first time visiting there. You want to have the smoothest transition as possible. Plus, you are going to live with host family. The last of worries should be transportation. One cab ride is not a big deal. Then when you get settle with your host family etc etc. You can take public transportation and learn your way around the city.

Taking a cab from the seoul station isn't hard either, there are tons of cabs that wait there.

But i guess it depends how far they are from the train station. Seoul is actually relatively large.

But i found most people in korea can speak some basic engrish. And i just gave them a copy of the address and they plugged it into the GPS anyway.

But be warned, cab drivers in korea much prefer you to pay in Cash rather than card. Apparently.

Anyone here knows the bus/subway system of Seoul? I gotta know how to get there otherwise I'm in big trouble.

Download the jihachul app for android or ios for getting around the subway system, which is very easy. But yeah, cabs aren' _that_ expensive. If it's your first time and they live in Seoul, just take a cab.

Is anything expensive by Western standards in Korea? When I see prices of things while watching Running Man and stuff almost everything is so cheap. Like around 20-30% of what it would cost here.

Whoa whoa whoa, don't listen to anyone telling you to take a cab from Gimpo. Taxi's might be cheap in Korea, but it will cost you a grip to get from Gimpo to your spot. It looks near on Google maps, but the distance is even further when you factor in traffic which there will be.

Take the bus. After you get out of customs/baggage and you are in the airport there should be a Express Bus Terminal counter inside the airport. Go to the counter and speak to one of the nice ladies's at the counter, they will speak English, and either tell them you want to a ticket for Seongbuk or to be safer, print out a map of where you are staying and ask them for the right bus to get near there.

After you get to your stop, then take a taxi and show the driver a picture of the apartment complex and say "Hillstate Apartment" but say it with a engrish accent so it comes out like, "Hirrstate Apatu".

I can't believe your host family wouldn't pick you up but yeah I hope you have their phone number. Good luck lol

Print this out as well.

Thank you. I didn't get how to use the bus line tho.

I think the 'Navy Blue Line' is the safest bet, right? (Subway-wise)

A friend of mine (who is Korean) will write an email to the family asking for directions and stuff, and HOPEFULLY they will take the hint and offer me a ride lol. Pretty disappointing that GEOS didn't mentioned anything or didn't give me their e-mail until I asked.

Anyway, thanks for all the support. Wish me luck.

Soon I will ask directions for the red light districts.

I tried that. Not sure if I'm doing it correctly.
Accordingly to Google Maps, the bus numbered 6100 (IIRC) will deliver me really close to my house. Can I fully trust this info?

The bigger problem is, how will I know when to get off? My korean is pretty lame and I will not, for sure, understand anything that the woman says (announcing the name of each stop).

Been busy lately and missed the run up to the end of the last thread :(

Nice job once again on the OP, OC. Rookie group section, great idea. (That wasn't there in the last thread was it >_> )

Cheers, boyos!

Awesome OP as usual! It's missing NS Yoon-G :( I really like her so if you have time can you add her. :D

check out Kpop Tasty Road, it stars NS yoonG and eli from ukiss, episode 4 just aired, im sure if you google the name of the show you can find an episode

the best part it is like 90% english so you don't even need subs (they speak english the entire show except voiceovers), which is pretty damn cool.

edit: actually you can watch all the episodes online officially, it can get kinda boring i suppose but its cool cause its a korean show in english, idk.

Mir is such a cunt in Romantic and Idol. He doesn't deserve anyone.

I love everyone except him. I ship them all in one gigantic orgy if I could. Jei is a pimp.

+ Sohyun so I don't get scolded
