Today we started the 'house hunting", and we're not thrilled. It's now around the twelfth time we look for a roof. Hurray...
First day, we were shown ten flats, in the Itaewon and Hannam-dong areas (the major expat areas). Quoting someone: "Mainly, coco" or the leftovers of the previous 20 house hunting's that our relocation company organized.
Key takeaway: never settle for the first flat. They are always shown in "crescendo" and the more you'll refuse, the better they will look at your criteria. And, BTW, one of the land marks in Itaewon is a mosque at the top of the hill, visible from almost everywhere!
PS: The Turkish Airlines office in Seoul's downtown is located at the Seoul Centre Building, in the City Hall Square (Turkish Airlines office in Seoul), and is open only until 18h.
What's the story with Turkish Airlines? Did you find a flat?
ReplyDeleteWe might have found a flat but pending Hugo's visit... and the negotiation skills of our realter!
ReplyDeleteAs for TK, we spent at least a couple of hours looking for their office in the city centre because the one in the airport only deals with flight irregularities (!). Anyway, it's hard to get around even with Google maps. There's a lot of unmarked streets and most of the info is in Korean.
