Seoul

[SeoulSearching]

Some days ago buildings on the other side were demolished (Moonshine, VIP). In front of Avantgarde there's always some trash and two homeless people resting there. Strange view! Opposite side (Laura.) Only some really old girls. Maybe the last days of the hill.

BTW: Incheon Yellow House is almost all demolished.

Ambrosia is also closed!

Oh, just saw this after I posted. So Moonshine and VIP are gone, or you mean the ones opposite Moonshine and VIP? I'd be surprised if Moonshine and VIP went first, but not if Cheers / Texas / etc, on that other side, were gone.

Damn, that's really sad. Can someone post a pic please?

I posted a ton of pics a few months back. I haven't been back to the hill in a month, but those boarded-up places were still standing. I read someone posted that one of the ladies said the demolition was delayed until next summer. Surely going to happen, though, as it's all been gutted and / or boarded-up, spray-painted, etc. I was told that there was going to be a guesthouse going in at the top of the hill, somewhere near old Pollys and those bars up there.

Ok, I was playing around with google translate and I understand the translation, which I think means unlimited. Would still love some feedback from you all on what you think of the opstar advertisements. Is it worthwhile trying to pursue an appointment through them?

I've been to few places on Opstar, I send them a text in Korean and ask if they accept white foreigners (because that's what I am). Some say yes then I ask for the location. All the girls l got have been Thai or Chinese. I think the places with Korean women say no, so far. I read some Korean, but also use the camera function on the translation app for the images, good luck.

Unfortunately I can't read Hangul. I used google translate to generate the Hangul but the search didn't return anything useful. However, in digging through the forum I did find opstar, which looks great except the ads are images, not text, so I can't translate them! The main thing I want to know is the course and program details. For example there is an entry for 260 k won, 120 minutes, and then this in Korean:

무 한 코 스 What does this mean? And what do you guys think of the places advertised on opstar?

I've read some sites where it has been challenging for some tourists to take money out of an ATM. I'll be staying in Myeongdong. Is this still an issue in Seoul?

Am I better off taking USD or Thai baht to exchange there?

Absolutely no problems with ATMs at the airport. Just follow instructions on screen and don't be hasty. Read every bit of information carefully before pushing buttons and you will be fine.

There's a link to a googlemap deeper in the thread with a few kissbang locations.

I think it was maintained by Chinese speakers.

If you can read Hangul, try looking for Korean SNS sites dedicated to mongering.

You can easily find some if you look for officetel and daytime in Korean on Google.

I'm staying in Myeongdong. Any good kiss bang recommendations easily accessible by walking or train? What prices should I be expecting for a kiss bang session?

Put in Google maps street view address.

It is exactly where it is, high resolution, the whole street.

I know where those clubs are / were, just want to see a recent pic of the demolition, which Google street wouldn't be able to show.

Anyone been to the Hill in Itaewon lately? I recall a number of posts earlier this year indicating that the whole side of the street where Happy Days and Avant Garde are located was set to be demolished in April. Can anyone who is based in Seoul or visited recently confirm whether that has been the case. I'm visiting next month and would like to know in advance whether the Hill is still an option for P4 P fun.

That is the address for the space next to Castle.

Go to Seolleung Station Line2 (Green Line). Walk out of Exit 4. Go straight, past the Mc Donald's, past the 7-11 until you come to a street just before a Lotteria. Walk up that street (a hill) and Castle should be on your right.

Thanks for the help. Going to head over and check it out either today or tomorrow. I'll post my report afterwards.

Maybe Lura Waxing & skincare lura. Kr? But I'm not sure. It is located at exit 1, Gildon station.

Thanks, I saw that one, but wow. Was searching Naver and found what seemed like a dozen such places in that area. I thought Lura looked pretty legit, with the couples thing, and all.
