I went to a fun event Saturday night in an area of Seoul called Sinchon.  There are two subway stops on the Green Line called Sinchon and Honig University.  The area around Honig University is called Hongdae which also features a very large entertainment area with 100’s of bars clubs and restaurants.  I attended a party hosted at Hana Pub which is an international pub located close to exit 3 of the Sinchon subway station.  Sinchon like Hongdae has 100’s of restaurants, bars and clubs to visit and many that have signs in english welcoming Western patrons.  With the close proximity to many universities there is a mixture of english teachers, study abroad students and a few businessmen and women making up the crowd.

I arrived at the party around 9 pm and it was already jam packed.  They served some chocolate cake.  It was a very comfortable atmosphere and the only uncomfortable thing was it was quite warm in the club with the amount of people.  They did have a 4th floor room which was a bit cooler and with lower volume music.

I met a few people from the UK and also a few Korean women there with some of their other international friends.  I am planning to try to go to the casino with one of the girls sometime soon.  

The international scene here is quite interesting.  As much as I am enjoying meeting Koreans and learning about their culture, meeting westerns from all over the world that are traveling has also been great!  It reminds me a bit of college as I’m meeting new people from all over the world every day.
