Named after the second largest city in Uzbekistan, the Samarkand restaurant, according to 'The Korea Times' boasts "a unique atmosphere it shares with its namesake". Located in Dongdaemun, the textile trading center of Seoul, he writes, "...the interior at Samarkand is very simple and practical, resembling more a cafe than a restaurant, with small tables, prints on the wall and a TV at one end of the room playing Russian dramas, giving it a true sense of authenticity. Seating 40 indoors and room for about eight outdoors, the menu is in Russian and Korean, and there is a photo of each dish.
Restuarant: Samakand
Full Review John Redmond: The Korea Times
To Get There: leave Dongdaemun Stadium (lines 2, 4 and 5) exit#12 and walk towards Boston Bar. Turn left at the first street, past Korean restaurants, and turn right at the end of the street. Samarkand is in the lane on the right.

Useful Web Sites: Socius In Daejeon
A group of conscientious individuals started Socius (Latin for sharing) in 2005 because they saw a lack of resources in languages other than Korean for just about anything. From entertainment and social activities to information for dealing with the government and the legal aspects of living and working in the city, there was no single place to track down information. They felt that while some people with a few years experience and some Korean under their belt might be able to navigate the system, people new to Daejeon or without Korean skills were having a hard time, and they didn’t like this at all. From that desire for a community passing around information and lending a hand came Socius.
Check out their website and get involved.
