concerts are kind of tricky and depend what's happening during that time, but I can show you how to get to sukira and chinchin... maybe by May I'll know better about the music shows.

My host has also been to Sukira but Chinchin would be new & exciting. Yay! :D

(Are in South-Korea or would you just like, give me directions via email or something?)

I've been living and working here in Seoul for 6-7 months :)

Exciting~! If you want to meet up while I'm in Seoul (though tbh I'm mostly in Suwon, near Seoul), perhaps when going to Sukira or Chinchin, would be cool. :)

For the love of god, keep a subway map on you at all times. Trust me. That is the number one thing.

Second.... they may not let you in to music shows. They've been pretty strict about keeping foreigners down to a minimum to.. none at all. Concerts are basically finding out when tickets are on sale and hoping they're on while you're there. G Market is the place for ticket sales for "proper" concerts. SuKiRa is by far the easiest; just stand out and watch through the glass! I was there last May-June-July, and that was the time for a bunch of concert-esq things for free; the weather is nice enough that they have a lot of out-doors stuff going down, mostly free too. It's just keeping an open eye to what's going on ( ... )

I shall print out several versions of it before boarding the plane!! :D Thanks!

Oh that's ..unfortunate. My host (foreigner teaching English over there) told me on some music shows you have to buy one of the artists' CD and then stand in line and see if they let you in. But if they have some no-whitey rules, then I guess that won't help much at all. So unfortunate! I'm hoping for outdoor concerts but it just hit me that in May the biggest outdoor concert might actually be Hollywood Bowl in California. :/ But hey we'll have to see, maybe there will be something.

But thanks for the shopping tips, those sound super-exciting. ♥ ♥

They also have them at the stations, I believe. I had one on my phone while I was there and it was so much help ( ... )

If they discriminate based on looks (only very skinny very pretty white chicks getting in) I am fucked, CD or no CD. :(

But it's good to be prepared for rejection and stuff. Sigh.

You were on TV? Too cool. :D

Oooh make-up stuffs? Korea is starting to sound like my shopping paradise (of course then I'll miss it even more, not being able to get those things over here). Thanks for more tips. :DD

You're one happy woman. Can't help you with your request. Just stopped to say I'm glad that you're alive and doing well =)

tongzhiai February 2 2009, 18:25:22 UTC

Indeed I am. :)
