Directions to the event:

The closest subway station is Daeyeon on line 2 (the green line).  From there it’s a 3,000w (approx) 5 minute cab ride to the university.  Leave the subway station via exit 5 and hail a cab.  Tell the cab driver busan way day and he/she should take you right there.  Take the cab up the steep hill past the soccer field (on your left) and tell the driver to stop as soon as the hill flattens out, just past a crosswalk with a concrete set of stairs on your right.   When you get out of the cab the venue should be across the street from you, on the first floor of the building directly beside the IT building which is circled on the campus map on the brochure that accompanies this document.  You will see yellow fliers reading “KOTESOL” and (probably) a cluster of people, both Korean and foreign, beside the doors. 

If you’re feeling adventurous you can walk from the subway station in approximately 20 minutes.  Leave the subway station via exit 5, then head south down the street that runs perpendicular to the main street that the subway follows.  When you get to the UN Rotary continue on straight ahead and simply follow the road up the hill, then down the hill, until you get see the main gate of PUFS on your right hand side.
