I just emailed stars about this cause I haven't reactivated my account since black friday. Hopefully they let me buy in through a friend's account or let me open mine back up once I get to Seoul.

If anyone's planning on coming to the WSOP and wants to get a head start on collecting some USD I could also bring cash to exchange up to like 15-20k USD. Open to any other ideas on how not to get killed on exchange vig.

Itaewon is the nuts. It's the main foreign district in Seoul. Used to be a bit of a ghetto but now it's really gentrified. Lots of nice restaurants, bars, clubs etcetera.

Walker hill is a little far from everything but cabs in Seoul are cheap. I don't know how much it would cost exactly from Itaewon to walker hill but less than $20. Subway is also doable but it's probably a bit of a hassle and I think it runs from about 5am to midnight, maybe a bit earlier or a bit later.

You'll definitely have a good time in Itaewon though.

great hotel. you're gonna wanna cab it to casino though it's a pretty big schlep from itae to walker or 7luck.

cab should be ~20 +/-$5 depending when you go.

Korean-American with Bad engRIsh over here.

Done a couple of Euros a same thing. Didn't charge them anything except for a pint of beer at a bar.


A key issue with Foreigners settling in Korea is them not understanding the concept of "Key Money". In case you don't know what key money is, look it up on google. But to save your time, I will just post the definition here.

Key Money : money paid to a landlord as an inducement by a person wishing to rent a property.

When you look for a rental, the system works like (Key Money)/(Monthly Rent)

So, when you look at a ad like this : 1000/50, it's like 10000 USD for key money and 500 bucks per month. You get key money back at the end of lease. There's no bull**** like "oh im going to take some money off your key money for wallpainting and ****." You get what you gave.

Long Story Short, If you wish to rent a 69.72m^2 property, the going price at my area is 1000/65. I just signed a new lease at one of the three new high-rise officetel properties at My area.

Pretty decent. 3 min walk to Shin-Bungdang line (16 min to Gangnam).. 2nd best area for mongering? (My area is filled with headquarters of Korean IT conglomerates)


That's all.

From Itaewon to Walkerhill it isnt that far by subway actually, it might take u about 30minutes maximum, taxi would be around 20 minutes, depending which time u r going, so i would wanna save around 20$ instead of being there 10minutes faster. just use line 6 to cheongu (청구), transfer to line number 5 in the direction to macheon(마천), sangildong (상일동), then get off at gwangnaru, going up the stairs and left, exit 2, crossing the streets right away, making a left turn, then there will be a shuttle bus stop.
