Nearby WI-FI Coffeeshops

When I first arrived here some 16 months ago, I was desperate to get online and spend some quality time with my best friend: the computer. ^^ I didn't really know where to look for a nice coffeeshop with WI-FI where I could relax after work.

These days, I find that it's much easier to get work done (lesson planning, PPT slideshows, etc.) at a coffeeshop.  There are a few options.

Option 1: The King's Arms.  They serve the usual coffees as well as some beers.  It's never too crowded and stays open until 1am on the weekends.


Read more about it here (in Korean ^^):  http://gagamal010.blog.me/20160951735

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

Location: 681-3 Gojan-dong, Danwon-gu, Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea

Convenience Store Coffee - coffee on the go!

One of the expenses that can really add up for teachers in Korea is coffee!  If you're on the go, you have a few choices:

A bottle of Starbucks coffee will cost about 2,900W.  You can usually find a Korean brand sitting next to it for a few hundred won less.  Starbucks here tastes just like it does in the US.

A cup of Starbucks can be a bit cheaper.  Many different brands make these cup-style coffees.  You might pay between 1,500 - 2,000W, depending on the brand and flavor.

Bag style coffees are the cheapest: about 1,200W.  You can usually find them on a shelf near a special cooler full of ice cups.  Many brands bag their coffee, tea, and fruit drinks.  Just take the top off the ice cup and remove the safety seal.  The coffee bag always tears nicely and pours right in without any spillage.  Did I mention they are 1,200W?  They are a great deal!
