Goodbye Chelsea

Chelsea's Second Farewell Party
09/22/2012 @ 이태원 & 홍대 [Itaewon & Hongdae]


Slowly but surely, my best friends have been leaving Korea. They are all moving onto new adventures. JC & Katrina are now meandering around Vietnam, and Chelsea is well on her way across Russia on the Trans-Siberian Railroad. This post is dedicated to her farewell party; it was her second, but this time it was a real one. She didn't surprise me with news of her return trip, like she had last time. I wish her the best of luck on the many journeys that she has awaiting her.

How to get to Craftworks in 이태원/녹사평 [Itaewon/Noksapyeong]

Noksapyeong Station [녹사평역] (Seoul Subway Lines 6) - Exit 2

Walk directly out of exit 2 and walk straight for about 5 minutes. Right after a bus stop, you will see stars leading down and under the street. Walk under the street and take the stairs on the left. When you walk up the stairs, you will find yourself at an intersection. Continue to walk the same direction that you were walking on the other side of the street. You will see a crosswalk to get across the interest ion. After about 20 meters, you will see Craftworks on your right side. Enjoy some good food and some great beer.

How to get to Hongdae:

Hongik University Station [홍대입구역] (Seoul Subway Lines 2) - Exit 9 / Exit 8

Exit 9 is the most common exit that will take you straight to the fun. I personally like exit 8; it's a little farther away from the action, but far less busy.
