Dongguk University Station (동대입구역) Line 3 – Station #332

Sitting at the foot of Namsan, Dongguk University Station is of course the jumping off point for Dongguk University (동국대학교), one of Korea’s most prestigious Buddhist-affiliated universities.  Just after riding the escalator up to Exit 6 you’ll spot a second escalator that leads up to the school.  It drops you off on a small plaza…

Sindang Station (신당역) Line 2 – Station #206, Line 6 – Station #635

Before you exit the station you’ll pass more people doing the same – with bags, with clothes, with battery-operated toys that flash and clatter –…

Euljiro-4-ga Station (을지로4가역) Line 2 – Station #204, Line 5 – Station #535

Despite sitting near the heart of downtown, the area around Euljiro-4-ga Station remains off the radar for most.  Surrounded by Jongno, Myeongdong, and Dongdaemun, it suffers a bit from Bermuda Triangle syndrome, disappearing amid the attractions of its more well-known neighbors.  But there are plenty of reasons to get off the subway here and explore,…
