OT center:

My 9 year old son has attended occupational therapy at SISO in Mapo for 1.5 years. He is in a weekly social skills group, paired with one English speaking child the same age and an English speaking therapist, for 70 minutes. The sessions are fun for the kids and the therapy has been helpful for my son in improving his social skills and gaining confidence. The office took whatever measures were needed to become a Tricare provider for me.

Travel therapist:

My son has also worked with a travel therapist, who visited his international school once a week as the school did not have one on staff. She is knowledgeable with working with neurodiverse children and is communicative over text and email. She also works in a clinic setting and is a PhD candidate, so has limited availability. She is familiar with NDSP funding and charges…

My 9 year old son worked with Dorthy for over a year for articulation. She made their weekly 60 minute sessions fun, and he always looked forward to seeing her. She came both to his school and the community center on base, and is knowledgeable of the procedures for embassy and military families (funding, VARs, etc.). She has also visited students at local preschools like ECLC. Dorthy is familiar with documentation that comes with American IEPs and made it easy for me to obtain extended school year speech services. Her schedule is limited though, as she goes to Pyeongtaek twice a week.

There is parking right in front of the manduguk restaurant.

Cheaper than DHL and easy street parking.

I recommend the Korean online photo printing service Photomon.

Similar to Shutterfly in the US, Photomon offers photo prints, photobooks, calendars, cards, etc. We had a 30x40cm family photo printed and delivered to the US Embassy mailroom. (I couldn't figure out how to deliver it to base housing.) Prices were very reasonable and service was very fast. Note that the website is only in Korean, but I was able to use Google Translate to navigate.

I can’t recommend Eitan and Liam enough! This summer, my yard was starting to look like a scene straight out of Jurassic Park, and the thought of tackling all that overgrown grass myself was overwhelming. Eitan and Liam truly came to the rescue! Not only did they work efficiently and thoroughly, but they were also so careful and considerate around my plants, making sure nothing was damaged. Thanks to them, my yard looks fantastic and I was saved from hours of exhausting mowing. If you need reliable, attentive lawn care, these are the people to call!

Eitan +1 (972) 987-7262

Liam +1 (754) 272-4075

An excellent frame shop with a wide variety of frames and an English-speaking worker. In the area of gate 16:

This hotel is near Seoul Station and is very convenient for visitors because of subway, bus, train, and taxi access. Easy to meet up after work at one of many delicious bars/restaurants outside the Annex/Gate 16, too, but not exactly walking distance.
