Roll up! Roll up! The IMF is coming to Yeongtong-dong in Suwon!
Don’t all run for your bank books just yet – it’s the International Music Festival, not the International Monetary Fund 
Myself and herself, or I should say herself, has taken over the running of Sansudawon, a traditional Korean tea café in Yeongtong in Suwon. We are currently in the process of changing a few things. Most important of these changes are some new introductions to the menu, like curries, sandwiches, soups, and wine – including Irish wine a.k.a. Guinness.
The International Music Festival is a celebration of the new culture we hope to create and the new partnership that is already causing a slight gastronomical ripple in west Suwon.
Here are the details:
International Music Festival
April 23 5pm -11pm (or later)
Sansudawon and The OK Café will be hosting the first International Music Festival featuring musicians from Ireland, the U.S., Canada, and of course, Korea.
Entry is only 5000 won for over six hours of live music by accomplished musicians.

Here’s a map for you once you get to Yeongtong 
If you want to come and you are travelling from Seoul, allow me to make a few suggestions.
Firstly, don’t take the subway. It’s nowhere near Suwon station and even then the train will take too long.
If you come from the north side, you can take the M5107 from Seoul Station. This is a new bus service that has limited stops but is prompt, regular and comfortable, not to mention cheap. You can find it at the big bus stop kind of thing at Seoul Station. Take it all the way to Yeongtong and get off opposite to Homeplus.
From Gangnam there’s a red bus, number 5100. This stops outside the ‘Teenie Weenie’ brand shop which is near to Zara and Dunkin Donuts on the Kyobo building’s side of the road. Don’t go onto the bus island, it’s on the street. Again, take this all the way to Yeongtong and get off at the Homeplus.
There’s also a bus from Sadang, number 7000, and it’s also red. You can find the bus stop immediately after walking out of subway exit number 4. As was the case with the other buses take this all the way to Yeongtong and get off at the Homeplus.
The Homeplus is huge but if you do miss that stop your best bet is to wait until it circles around to Kyunghee University and get off there. Either way, the map will show you the way from both locations.
