Bored in Bupyeong

Post new topic

gail_oz

Hi... I just found this site, and thought I should ask about for some tips...
I am an Australian who has been in South Korea for about a month now... It's been a fairly boring month (mainly because I'm waiting for my first pay check) and also because I have no friends (with the exception of some of the other foreign teachers from my school)... yes ... it's sad I know! I don't think I am that socially inept... I  do have some friends back in Australia! Help me out here...

Hi gail_oz,

how are you?I'm also from Australia and have only been here in Incheon for four weeks (I arrived April 1 to teach in a local hagwon). I live in Incheon City Hall, and am looking to meet new people (particularly if they are teaching english and from australia).Anyway, feel free to send me an email (dclaxton24@yahoo.com.au), and we can chat to each other from there if you like. Best wishes for now,
Dave

There are some nice bars in Bupyeong area, I suck at giving directions though, especially when it comes to Korea, you probably already noticed that even the cab drivers find it difficult to navigate to your destination, most probably using the GPS.
There's one hip-hop club I would recommenced you visiting, even if you are not found of that type of music, you should visit the place called: DK club (dirty king), I've got the address somewhere with the phone number, will have to look for it.
And there's also a British pub called ... hmmm... "Goose Goose", yeah... lot's of expats there, but mostly ESL teachers, can be fun though, they've got trivia days.

My wife and I live in Bucheon, which is right beside Incheon.  We're trying to document all (or much, at least) of what Bucheon has to offer, so if you're ever in the area you'll know what to do.  In particular, there's a great foreigner bar here in Bucheon known as .  It just opened up little over a month ago; the owner is really cool, and the chicken quesadillas are worth double what they charge.  The pool, foosball, and darts are free, and - hell - it's just a nice looking place all around.

Hope that helps!
