The performance started at about five o'clock. The atmosphere was very good and the actors also interacted with each other, which was good.

Every time I come to Seoul, I come to see the Macho Man Show. The whole atmosphere is created very well. The venue is at Euljiro 3-ga Station of Subway Line 2. It is very convenient to arrange in your itinerary. Highly recommended.

Very easy to redeem. You can do your shopping first and calculate how many vouchers you need as the vouchers can be combined and the exchange rate is quite good. Do take note of the tax refund as the amount after discount can be less than the voucher value.

very easy to use, you can directly board the bus and scan the qr. you just have to be there before the time to allow yourself to find the platform.

It was a bit confusing to find the place because I had to walk upstairs in a strange looking building (strange as in I did not expect the building to look like how it would) but when I found it the stylists were welcoming and efficient in their work. I walked in not super sure on what I wanted and was nervous to get something I was unhappy with but they effectively interpreted the concept of what I wanted. I asked to color my hair an ash brown and they provided a reference for me to make sure they understood what I wanted. They worked efficiently to color and wash my hair. For my cut I wasn’t sure about the style but I found a pinterest picture for something similar I wanted and they styled my hair suited to my face and the picture I showed. Here is my before and after and my reference picture for the cut!

The price is affordable and the food is very diverse, although there is less meat. After eating, you can take a boat ride to see the scenery and listen to music performances. It is very enjoyable.
