For all of you grew up watching the sitcom, Cheers.. The show always began with the theme song, “Making your way in the world today takes everything you got…lalalaalalala..ending with ..you want to go where everybody knows your name”. Watts on Tap is quaintessentially a home away from home. It’s a cozy neighbourhood bar, and the owner/staff/customers all are on a first name bases. If it’s your first time visiting, it won’t be long before you too will be inducted.
The bar is owned by a Canadian, and the staff is also foreigners. The clientel is mostly made-up of a younger foreign crowd as well ( a lot of Canadian English teachers).
Opening hours:
6pm-2am Sunday-Wednesday
6pm until the last person goes home on weekends
02)-3142-8439
Direction: I find this place a little difficult to find. A lot of turns before you’ll spot it.
52-84 3/Flr. Changcheon-dong Seoul (Sinchon station exit 2). Try to find Starbucks. Then look up for the bar sign.

Eccentric Bjork will be coming to Seoul on February 16, 2008 as part of her ongoing tour promoting her latest album, Volta. I suspect that this will be a sold-out concert as her album has received warm receptions from her fans all around the world. ”Earth Intruders,” the first single from the album, was released in digital format on April 9, and became her second-ever Billboard Hot 100 entry in the United States. The album also reached number three on the French Albums chart, with 20,600 albums sold in its first week, and number seven on the U.K. Albums Chart with 20,456 units sold.
She will perform the concert at Olympic Hall of Olympic Park at 7 p.m. on Feb. 16. http://209.85.175.104/search?q=cache:9K9Xnc6T0hoJ:www.seoulselection.com/venue_view.html%3Fvid%3D19+olympic+hall+seoul&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=2 (Exit 3 of Olympic Park Station, Subway Line 5)
