Get your Santa-con costume for only 5,000 won at Daiso!
Here is a comprehensive list of whats going on in December. Be sure to check back for updates throughout the month!

December 11: Santa-Con! If you thought Halloween was crazy in Seoul, get ready to see foreigners tramping around Seoul wearing Santa suits. Come in your best Santa suit outfit and be ready to party with tons of other Santa expats. My recommendation is to get to Daiso ASAP and snap up a 5,000 won Santa Costume that comes with a beard. See this Facebook page for details, and http://www.santarchy.com for the official site. There is no official  meeting place yet but it will start at around 5:30, so keep checking the Facebook page for updates or check back here.
