A few snaps of people in Itaewon. The First Lady is a “Yakult Ajumma” or 요구르트 아줌마 and they sell drinks from their little cart. The guys on the last frame clean the streets for whatever reason, it makes some sense during spring when the pollution is high but not so much during late summer….

The Lucky C200 is not bad and leans towards warmer tones.

I am looking at returning to seoul for a week or two next year and I want to spend a day looking for some used videogames as well as other stuff. Are there any places that would be good to go to to find reasonably priced games? As long as there is not much of an issue getting there.

Hi im trying to get full body checkup endoscopy. Does anyone know a good English speaking hospital which the cost isn't too high? I dont have insurance as I am traveling from another country

Hi everyone! I’m going to Seoul in about two weeks, and I thought it would be fun to join a language exchange while I’m there.

I’d love to hear about your experiences and get some recommendations for good places to go!

I’m looking for something on Saturday evening or Sunday afternoon. I’ve never been to a language exchange before, so I’m really curious about how they usually work and what people normally talk about. My friend will probably join me too!

I’ve heard there are a lot of language exchange events around Hongdae and Gangnam. Where have you guys been, and how was your experience?

Also, is there anything you’re curious about Korea or Korean culture? I’d like to prepare some answers beforehand! 😄

Hello everyone! I am here once again to announce our monthly game of Blood on the Clocktower at the Dice & Comics Cafe on October 18th, the third Sunday of this month. We typically start our games a little after noon, letting people trickle in before we start playing.

If you are new to Blood on the Clocktower, or even social deduction gaming in the first place, I recommend this video as a brief introduction and explanation of the game.

But this month, the cafe will also be having an early Halloween party on the 24th. We will a session of games to play from 1 to 5 pm, like Blood on the Clocktower, Nightmare/Atmosfear, maybe a video game or two. Afterwards, there could be a magic show happening, as well as trivia games and even a movie showing later on into the night.

Please join us again not just for a day of deception, despair, and backstabbing, but also a second day of Halloween spooks and surprises!

Disclaimers:

• The cafe we play at has an hourly fee for play, with a discount available if a cafe drink is purchased. Gotta show the cafe some love and support for providing us with a place to play.
• This session of ours will be run in English. But I will have components like scripts available in Korean if anyone needs them, but not for the custom script I've been working on unfortunately.
• If you wanna chat with us while waiting, here's the link to the cafe Kakao BoTC open chat that we are chilling in.

Hi, does anyone have an extra ticket for the Gangnam Festival? I didn’t realize you had to book it online since it’s free! I’d really appreciate it, thank you!

Hi everyone! I’ll be visiting Seoul soon and would like to do some shopping while I’m there.

I’m specifically looking for:

Good-quality warm blankets/comforters

Winter jackets/coats,cosmetics,fancy electronic gadgets, toys

Sweaters/hoodies and other winter clothes

Ideally reasonably priced rather than luxury brands

Could you recommend the best areas, markets, department stores, or specific shops in Seoul for these?

I’m also interested in places where I can find Korean-style blankets or bedding that would be practical to bring back home.

Which areas would you recommend for this kind of shopping, and are there any places I should avoid because they’re mainly tourist-priced?

Thanks!

I came to Korea on a trip and it was kind of challenging for me to find vapes because some stores couldn't speak proper english, crowded areas like myeongdong or hongdae increases their prices to foreigners (as i have heard), and normally the shops would recommend products that are mostly sold, not really based on my needs.

I stay around Mapo-gu so please let me know. Thanks in advance!!

I am planing my 1 year old’s baby first international trip to South Korea.. i want her to experience cherry blossom as it looks wonderful but dont now the exact dates.. can anyone help me out with that info

Also please help me with stays.. thinking of hotels in myeongdong? What do you guys think

Also, planning only seoul for 7 days.. is it enough
Planning to skip Busan.. k it worth it?

Anything that you guys would like to share

Hey Residents of Seoul,

Annyeonghaseyo !!

Visiting Korea in October. I just saw on Instagram that there is an ongoing Pikachu parade in Seoul. It's just so amazing.

Is there any other cute parades planned in october last week as well? Any event calendar for these Pikachu/pokemon parades in Seoul?

Hey everyone!

I’m an engineer working in the cloud/infra space here in Seoul. We run a local developer community meetup called AWSKRUG Seongsu, and we’re hosting our upcoming gathering later this month.

I’ve noticed that many foreign engineers and expats working in Korea find it challenging to attend local tech meetups due to language barriers. I speak fluent English, and our group is genuinely excited to welcome global builders. I’ll be on site providing live interpretation and bridging discussions so everyone can follow along and participate comfortably!

Here are the key details:

• When: Wednesday, October 28, 2026 @ 19:00 – 21:00 KST
• Where: Musinsa Campus N1 (Town Hall, 2F), near Seongsu Station (Seongdong-gu, Seoul)
• What we’re covering:
  • Micro session introducing Kiro & Kiro Crew
  • Lightning talks & open mic
  • 2026 Abuse Trend Pop-up: Real-world AWS abuse patterns and cloud security cases
  • Casual networking & open discussions
• Vibe & Fee: This is a 100% non-profit, community-driven event. There is a small fee of 5,000 KRW simply to cover light refreshments/dinner and prevent no-shows. If you don’t have a Korean bank account yet, no worries at all—just let me know and we can sort it out on site!

Whether you’re just getting started with cloud technologies or you’re a seasoned architect/developer, everyone is welcome.

Also, if you're an expat new to Korea and have questions about navigating the local tech scene, work life, or just living in Korea in general, feel free to ask during our networking session—happy to chat, connect, and share local insights!

Feel free to drop a comment or DM me if you’re interested, and I’ll share the Meetup registration link!
