The place is a ripoff, Hannam Market’s prices border on criminal. This is especially true considering that half of the stuff there is bought at COSTCO and sold at 3X the price! For your foreigner eats you are much better going to Itaewon and wandering around the area near the mosque.

The only reason to go to Hannam is for the odd fresh herbs that the Muslim shops don’t carry, for the lamb which is actually a very good deal (19k won for a kilo of deboned lamb leg!) and BBQ lighter fluid which is hard to find elsewhere.

Anyone who shops at Hannam Market is not paying from their own wallet, it’s diplomats’ families spending the their countries money on ‘entertaining’.

Plus, only a Korean would describe UN Village as offering “great views” (of the other concrete-block towers and elevated roadway across the bland and unappealing Han River) and “creature comforts” (this inevitably means an acrylic chandelier).

Rob,

Ya’ know I gave some thought to that, but decided otherwise. As you all can vouch, I am often wrong.

I believe there’s an apostrophe missing in the post title.

It’s even funnier considering the messenger’s level of English. ["I keed, I keed."]

Anyway, as a humble foreigner, they wouldn’t allow me to live there, the bastards.

I came close to LOLing.
