Seomyeon is the major downtown area of Busan. Seomyeon is a HUGE entertainment district, about 1 or 2 square kilometers of high bar/restaurant/shop density. Perhaps the largest such entertainment area in Korea.

You call and pay 130,000 wons and a 100% agashi comes to visit your place. An agashi (or agassi or aggassi) is a korean word that refers to an unmarried woman or a young "babe". In case you (and her!) may not accept to stay, another agashi will be sent over until both of you agree for an hour of "entertainment". (121.39 KB) Photo viewed 1568 times

Contrarily to the western nightclubs, not much dancing is going on here. Rather, there are private rooms costing 300,000 wons per man per evening. The waiter will then introduce a woman until one accepts to remain. Then, the couple can go out to a nearby love motel. (191.02 KB) Photo viewed 1738 times
