anyway, it appears to be on the 5th floor of the Dong So Mun Post Office (Wu Chae Guk)

i hope this helps :)

[Stoy-shi]

uh huh, i saw the map ofcourse, but I can't figure out what station it is or what colour line even.

[Eric]

my bad. i didn't know you had seen the map.

i took a look on my map and it seems to be at the end of line 4 on the way to danggogae, between HyeHwa and Miasamgeori. POssibly the Hanseong University exit...???

[bvoborsky]

Take Line 4 to Han Sung University (419) exit number 7. Walk straight, turn left down the first small alley/street. Walk straight, it's on the 5th floor, room 502 above the post office. If you get lost ask where the post office is or call Ho Kyung Pil
02-766-8848
011-9066-9193

You can order off the website, or phone in your order, Ho Kyung Pil is the President/Director of the Corean Alpine Club, he is a really nice guy who speaks okay English.

Not to mention he has a really good selection of English climbing books, magazines, guides, and movies. His email is [email protected]
