Hi guys. My gf and I are staying in Seoul for 1 night and would love it if a TLer in Seoul had an extra room or bed or whatever to let us stay in. We are both 24 years old, from San Francisco, very friendly, clean, generous, and I would hope cool people to go and have dinner and drinks with. We arrive in 12 hours, Jan 16, 7am local time. We can travel ourselves.
Thanks so much and hoping to hear from someone!
Also, are there any recommendations as to how we can meet up with local fans or players? Thanks a bunch!
EDIT: to compensate, we will clean your place while we are there!
EDIT #2--At the airport leaving Phnom Penh for Incheon--I posted this on page 2 as an update after seeing all the replies so far:
LOL. Wow, okay I guess I somewhat expected the replies to be like they are.
First let me clarify my original post. My GF and I are currently returning from our trip from Cambodia. We spent 2 weeks here and have a TWO night layover in Seoul, before returning back to San Francisco. I wrote the original post from our hotel in Phnom Penh minutes before we left on our iPad, which would explain why the sentences were weird and why I just didn't really have the care nor the time to correct everything (I am currently typing on a keyboard on a computer at Phnom Penh airport).
In any case, the reason we wanted to bunk was because we have only $400 left in our travel budget and two nights at a hotel, plus taxis, food, GSL, MAYBE visiting the DMZ, well... you get the reason why we would prefer to crash at someone's place. I get the cynicism, but that's to be expected here I suppose.
We won't rob your shit... that's not what we meant by cleaning house, haha. God, as I write this I am slowly coming to the realization of how silly this all was. The lack of a detailed OP combined with how much was at stake would surely make anyone curious of its legitimacy. But we are real, and reallllly nice, we promise!
Thanks for the tip about the sauna places. We will try to find a hostel or something similar, or a cheap hotel.
Our flight is in an hour and a half so I'll check back every now and again, and again when we arrive in Seoul at 7am-ish local time.
If nothing else, can anyone local to the area refer us as to how to use the subway to get around, what stop the GSL studios are, good places to eat KBBQ, and other things to do in the city besides a trip to the DMZ? Much appreciated--I will edit the OP with this post as well.
Thank you sirs!

Something about your quote doesn't make sense.

So you flew to korea, for just 1 night? and you have no where to stay? Is there a reason you're there or is this just a really poorly planned holiday?

Like everything?

your gf can stay, but you have to find a hotel. ;-)

Go to a jimjilbang, a Korean-style sauna complex where you can stay for the whole night. They are abundant in Seoul, shouldn't be hard to find one (unless you can't read Hangeul — Ask the locals in that case.)
By the way I'm curious, what are you doing there for only 1 night?
|
Don't worry babe, I know these guys on this site. I'll just put a notice up on the internet that we're coming the night before we leave and someone will jump to lend us a room.

couch surfing?
are you just trying to save money? I really don't think it'll cost that much (hoon said 20$), and since it's only one night, just man up and shell out the $$?

I don't think it's about the money, but more about the opportunity to meet new people and have a good time. Sure you could stay at a boring hotel, eating at the closest restaurant that looks semi good, and then see if you can find something fun to do during your 1 night stay.
Or you could meet up with some new people who live in Seoul who knows good places to have fun. Some people just like meeting new people because you never know what it might lead to.

^ You can still meet with people, hang around and have drinks without necessarily having to stay at their place all night.
The hanging out is not the weird part, the sleeping over is. All the more on such short notice.

Ya like a robbery.

You'd better check out couchsurfing.org immediately and post in the emergency request thread in the seoul-group. You should start looking for couches way earlier usually. People make their own plans too you know. They usually dont wait all day for a couchsurfer to stop by.
With only half a day left you can't handpick your host anymore.
