+ Show Spoiler + Err wait, do you need a passport to enter South Korea?  Also, to put *me* in perspective, since you clicked this spoiler anyway: I think I may have once played Lzgamer or kiwikaka(I think he was in my division) very early in the beta, and they absolutely demolished me. If I ever do magically become a better player, I'll let you guys know | ||

renting a place in SEOUL = roughly $3,000 smacks. i've lived in korea for a year and i am going back for many more years. my korean wife who lived in seoul for 30+ years has never heard of any hostels. i'm not trying to be argumentative, i'm just genuinely curious about these hostels if they really exist. and yes, soju is dirt cheap, but that's why you drink loads of it. :p i can go broke on soju, even after winning #1 in GSL hahaha. | ||
