My 29th Birthday
2015.11.14 @ 용마랜드 & 홍대 [Yongma Land & Hongdae]
For my birthday, I asked my friends to trek all the way out to Mangu Station for lunch, followed by some drinks at Yongma Land. We got out a little later than planned, so night had already fallen. This ended up being alright, because the owner turned on the carousel lights for us. We played around a lot.
After Yongma Land, we went out to Hongdae for some barbecue followed by a Second Saturday punk show with Whatever That Means...

How to get to Yongma Land [용마 랜드]:
Mangu Station [망우역] (Seoul Subway Gyeongchun Line / Jungang Line [경춘선 / 중앙선) - Exit 1
Exit the station and weave through the streets towards the mountains. Refer to the map below.
How to get to Hongdae:
Hongik University Station [홍대입구역] (Seoul Subway Line 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. I've included a map with the places in this post starred.
