SOS Children’s Village – Directions

Hey all,

The maps over at Naver.com don’t seem to show the exact location of the orphanage, but it’s really easy to find once you get to the little country road that leads there.

Here is the address in Korean you can print off/write down/say to the taxi driver:

순천SOS어린이마을 순천시 와룡동 TEL 061-752-7566

(English: Suncheon SOS O-rini – Ma-ul – (Wa-ryong-dong))

It’s been around for a long time, so most taxi drivers know it.

Anyhoo, if you are in front of City Hall with it to your left. Head straight in that direction till the main interesection. Continue through the traffic lights, cross the river (see map) and turn left at the Hyundai Apt.complex. Follow that road for, I’d say about 10minutes and you’ll see the orphanage on your left. It’s big and colourful, blue and yellow I think and you can’t miss it. Hope the map is ok. Best I can do right now!

Sunday, December 16th – GAME TIME!

Hey all,

Here’s a copy and paste of Aodan’s post, just in case you missed it.

“Hey Guys,
We have our penultimate soccer match of the year this Sunday at 1 pm at our home ground in Gwannyang Eup. We are playing against the team that we had a few problems with a couple of weeks back. I’m hoping that we will be out there by 12.15 pm and thus will be willing to share a taxi with people from Kims between 11.50 and 11.55 am. We will be missing both Daragh and Daniel. Are there any others who will not be able to attend? Please let me know if you are in. Thanks a lot.”

Oh and your Friday’s funny is here…
