You take the subway and get off at the Yuseong Spa stop. Follow the exit signs to Yuseong Spa. There's one right outside the station above the Pizza Hut, but I went to the one across the street. I might check out the one by the station next time. But the one across the street is at the traffic light on the third floor above a Vietnamese restaurant. I got an hour and a half massage for 70,000 won. They also gave a mini facial.

Several of the vendors had all kinds of wigs. I know you said that you wanted it made from your own hair, but in case you cannot find a place to do that you can try the vendors.

My aunt got a wig (back in Canada) after her chemo but found it was too hot and in the end just went without! Hope you find a solution that works for you. The center where you're receiving treatment may also be able to give you some advice as to where to look for these services.

Iv'e just started chemo and have been told that there are places that will make a wig from your own hair. I don't have any idea how to find one (I've never even gone to a hair salon and speak no Korean), and would appreciate any suggestion. Thanks! This is way out there, but maybe someone has an idea.

I went to Dr. Marshall Yoon's on Saturday and he said that he couldn't prescribe me the drug that I needed (I take Wellbutrin, a mild anti-depressant) but gave me a note to take to a larger clinic where I could. I don't know where to find a larger clinic. I live in Songgang Dong, but could travel down to Dunsan or where ever. Please help! Ben Does anyone know the location of a larger clinic?

The clinic is between Timeworld Galleria and City Hall in the City Clinic building on the 3rd floor (beside Mr. Wang's Chinese restaurant). She is open every day except Friday, including Sunday from 2pm to 6pm.
