Option 2: THANKs COFFEE.  *how they write it.

It is a bit smaller than The King's Arm.  It only seats 12-15.  However, I went there today and hogged their WiFi for about 3 hours.  No problem.  They seem quite nice and their coffee tastes great.

The marker lands on the center of the building, but the entrance is on Gwangdeok 4-ro.  It's cool to watch the subways roll through Gojan across the street.

The address is: Gojan-dong 681-6

The following information comes from a note sent along with a telephone purchased from TheArrivalStore.com

This is the message the obscures anything I'm trying to show to my students.

I was told a while back that it "needed cleaning".  I thought it was for the lens.  This is actually a message about cleaning the filter.  The filter is typically on the side.

The filter should come right out.  If you run it under the tap, let it dry and put it back inside.

Then, go into the projector menu and reset the Filter Timer.

Click on the MENU button on the remote control.   

Press the DOWN ARROW KEY until you reach the 기타 function.

Once there, press the RIGHT ARROW KEY (or MODE KEY) to get into the right column.

Press the DOWN ARROW KEY to get to the 필터 타이머 (filter timer) function.

Once there, press the UP ARROW KEY to get to 초기화.  This resets the timer.

It will usually read above 100 hours, except in this demo I am using a projector that I reset on the previous day. ^^

Now the timer should read 0 hours.  Press the MENU key again to exit.

This should prevent that grey screen from coming up!

It should automatically install. Click the proper buttons to accept the license agreement. You computer will then restart. When it does, plug in your USB and enjoy! ^^

This is drain cleaner.  I had a hard time finding it at first.  I guess the tell tale sign is the curly S shape drainpipe on the bottle.  Sounds silly, but I wasn't really looking for that kind of detail when I was scouring the entire 2nd floor of Homeplus.  A few months later, I forgot all about Homplus when I discovered it here, just a short walk from my apartment.

It's not easy to make sense of it, but it turns out that this is a request to inspect the gas pipes inside the apartment.  Apparently, since most Korean households have gas service and because people live so close together, the gas company does regular inspections.  

The problem is that they come without prior notice to perform a non-emergency service during extremely late hours.  

Even with the note on the door, there's typically no hint at when they will return.  Sometimes it's the following day, sometimes it's 3 days later. 

   

It's easy to set up an account because most of the instructions are in English.

Here are some tricks I've learned for getting the most out of English GMarket...

1.  Search GMarket, but also search Naver.

GMarket will sometimes offer a "Partnership Discount" to items that were clicked through from Naver.  Just visit Naver first, type the item into the search bar, then browse through their shopping list for items being sold at GMarket.

3.  Try searching for your item in Korean.

If your search results also include some Korean words in the titles, try searching with those too.The interface is in English, but there are many items that do not contain an English title.  Also, try specific part numbers.  This works well on styled clothing like shirts and underwear.  

More tips soon!!

The city today is fully developed around it.  It is really convenient. 

Just before that, I dropped in at Fortune House coffeeshop.  It is a really nice place.  Coffee, juice, sandwiches, rice, waffles, you name it; all in large portions.

This is a stock photo from the internet.  The store is just over 2 months old now.  I've been to a few places before that wouldn't even let me play a guitar.  I walked in and the lady working there practically insisted (in English) that I play the Epiphone Les Paul I was looking at.  She offered 4 times.  When I played it, I did my best to play well for her.  hehe.  

Guitars and accessories only.  No amps. :-(

Really nice people.  I will come back.
