It is that time of the year again. Christmas is here and HonSec Hymen has decided to lay a Christmas trail at his place at Jickuk. The trail will be a nice easy trail to ready the hashers Christmas. There will be ups and downs, beer checks, shiggy, and maybe snow. The circle will be at Hymen's place, so it will be warm, with some nice cold beer and hot food for those who do trail. So get your asses out and head up north.
From Seoul Station, you can take line 1 north to Jongno 3 ga and transfer to line 3. Take the Daewha train north, get off at Jichuk station, and follow the half arrows. It is a ten-minute walk.
If you are lost, text or call the hare at 010-4244-1928.
On this day in 1911, Roald Amundsen and his fellow Norwegians were the first humans to reach the South Pole. South Korea and the South Pole are actually quite far from each other, yet the weather here in Seoul does indeed feel rather chilly these days, like the bottom of the earth.
Join in as the professor lays a trail with twists and turns in familiar territory, with maybe a surprise or two. Old man winter is gaining on us, so dress appropriately to maintain adequate warmth. Hopefully, there will be at least some skirt meat for our visual pleasure (probably holding protest signs). The distance shall be somewhere between 5 and 6 kilometers.
The professor will weave his way around the area, studiously avoiding the War Memorial and Seoul Station. It is more fun to get smashed with beer than demonstration posters. I guess Yoon Seok-yeol is trying to make life difficult for the important task of hashing. Nevertheless, the trail will be marked.
From Seoul Station get on Line 4 and head south for 2 stops. Come on up for air at exit 8 and follow the chalk. It is under the bridge.

With Marshal Law being declared and canceled and the start of the Christmas season, this Saturday, Cheeri Ho will be hosting the annual Seoul Hash Christmas trail which won't be canceled. It will be family-run, and all Hashers of any gender are welcome. It will be a fairly nice trail, avoiding the President's pad at Samgakji because that area will be full of people. There will be beer, food, and song. As well as a trail.
From Seoul station head south on line 1 or 4. Get off at Sinyongsan Line 4, exit 3 or Yongsan Line 1, Exit 1, and follow the marks.
Squishy has been given a release from the family to lay a family trail this weekend from the Seoul Hash, and the invading OB hashers as well. Hashes from other kennels or visitors can run or walk the trail this Saturday with the Seoul Hash. This means hashers of any gender may attend. Squishy has promised a well-marked and long trail for the pack. So there is only one way to see if this is true: by showing up. There will be beer and a circle. So come on out.
From Seoul Station, head south on line 4. Get off at Gwacheon station come up for air at Exit 1 and follow the chalk (arrows). It is an open-air on-site, not Elsa's tunnel.
It is the start of the holiday season, so it means lots of food, beer, and fun. However, there is a side effect of putting on some next pounds. So this Saturday GM Bloodfish will be taking pack on a trot around the Han River and Yongsan gu. There will be a trail, views, and beer. So come on out and enjoy a trot and a beer. So come on out.
From Seoul Station get on Line 4 and head south and transfer at Icheon station to the Gyeongui-Jungang line to Seobinggo station. Come up for air at exit 1 and follow the chalk to the onsite. It will be a 10 to 15-minute walk.

This Saturday, HonSec Hymen will take the pack to Seoul's Olympic Stadium, the site of the 1988 Seoul Olympics. There the hash will relive memories or learn the history of this great event. There is a high probability of good views and enjoyment for the pack. There the Hare will process to lay a trail for the pack. Will it be a long trail or a short one? There is only one way to find out and that is to come this Saturday. There will be cold beer, bad jokes, and maybe a song for two.
From Seoul Station, get on Line 4 and head south. At Dongjak station, transfer to Line 9 and head to the Sports Complex (take the train heading to VHS Medical Center). Follow the chalk from exit 8. It is a 4-minute walk.
On this day in 1918, the Emperor Willie (Kaiser Wilhelm II) renounced the throne of the German Empire. This was 2 days before Armistice Day when the spike-helmeted soldiers surrendered at the 11th hour, on the 11 day, in the 11th month of 1918. The Weimar Republic was born, although that only lasted 14 years before Hitler took over. To celebrate the peaceful transfer of power and the birth of another democracy, the Professor will lay another trail around the scenic area of World Cup Stadium.
Join in as the professor lays a trail with twists, turns, gentle hills, and greenery with maybe a surprise or two. Old man winter is gaining on us, so dress appropriately to maintain adequate warmth. Hopefully there is going to be at least some skirtmeat for our visual pleasure, albeit with more clothing than during summertime. The distance shall be somewhere between 5 and 6 kilometers.
The on-site has lots of benches to park our asses after a vigorous (or not so vigorous) workout. Cheri-ho has generously volunteered to be the substitute hooch while the prof lays trail for the run. Come one, come all!
From Line 3 , transfer at Yaksu or Bulgwang Station for several stops. From Line 4, transfer at Samgakji Station for 9 stops. From Line 5, transfer at Gongdeok and go 7 stops. From Line 2, transfer at Hapjeong for 3 stops. Since you all have a better sense of direction than Professor D'Erections, I expect you all to find the site efficiently and punctually!
From the top of Exit 2 or 3, follow the half-arrows to the on-site. It's less than 5 minutes from the station exit. Be there or be square.
With Halloween here and this Saturday being the Day of the Dead (Dia De Los Muertos) and a few hasher who are feeling dead from the Nth r*n. Also, to remember some of our brothers who are on the eternal false trail (Farty and Ultraman). So come out and celebrate the Day of the Day which is a two-day holiday that reunites the living and dead. Families create ofrendas (Offerings) to honor their departed family members who have passed. These altars are decorated with bright yellow marigold flowers, photos of the departed, and the favorite foods and drinks (beer) of the one being honored. The offerings are believed to encourage visits from the land of the dead as the departed souls hear their prayers, smell their foods, and join in the celebrations!
Day of the Dead is a rare holiday for celebrating death and life. It is unlike any holiday where mourning is exchanged for celebration. So come on out and run a trail.
Get on Line 4 at Seoul station and head south to Sadang station. Come up for air at exit 14 and follow the chalk.

We've all done it, had that question we wanted to ask that just sounded astoundingly stupid. We're embarrassed that it even occurred to us, and worse, that we didn't know the answer when it seemed so simple. The truth is there is no such thing as a stupid question, except the one that you choose not to ask. We never learn anything if we're afraid to ask the question to begin with, whether that's by researching it or asking someone who might know. Ask a Stupid Question Day encourages you to overcome your fear of sounding uneducated, and opening yourself to learning by asking your stupidest questions. So if you have a question about Hashing or any other questions, cum on Saturday and ask away. As it is Ask a Stupid Question Day.

The on-after will be a local bar or you could head to Itwaewon for the Itwaewon festival.
Get on Line 4 from Seoul Station and head south to Samgakji Station. Cum up for air at exit 8 and follow the half arrows to the onsite under the bridge.
It is that time again, Hashathon is here, so therefore it is time for the Seoul Hash to invade OB Hash and to observe the going ons at a lesser hash. It should be an amusing site to see what shenanigans OB will give us and what kind of trail they will give us. Will it be long? Short? Well marked? Will it be a shit show? Who knows? Let's go and find out.

On September 7th, National Beer Lover's Day celebrates the grains, hops and brewing methods across many eras. This is an important celebration for Hashers. Beer and the process of brewing beer may predate known history. As varied as the methods, grains, and flavors, beer continues to change and evolve.
Virginia colonists brewed beer. William Penn included a place for brewing beer within the Pennsylvania colony. It can still be visited at Pennsbury Manor today. The first President of the United States recorded a recipe for brewing beer in his notes. Samuel Adams holds a place in this country's beer and tea history. There were a few beer lovers and patriots among the nation's founders. The United States also derives its rich brewing history from beer-loving German immigrants during the mid-1800s. Some family names are as familiar today as they were a hundred years ago.
While some names have faded into the past, smaller-batch brewers continue to experiment with old and new recipes. The crafting of beer carries deep traditions, often requiring years of training and experience in the trade. Depending on the brewery, the path to brewmaster may take years to develop the skill and expertise. Eventually, a brewmaster gains the knowledge necessary to produce a quality beer every time. One particular requirement is a passion for the craft.
So Come on out this Saturday and enjoy a nice cold beer after completing a trail laid by GM Bloodfish.

On this day in 1836, the British Parliament decided to start the registration of births, marriages, and deaths for all of its citizens. How the hell they ran the country before that I will never know. In honor of basic common sense and minimal government service, join the prof this Saturday at 4:00PM to celebrate births, marriages (maybe divorces too), and deaths.
Join in as the professor lays a trail with twists, turns, hills, greenery (therefore at least some shade), and maybe some views of the Han River. In the dog days of the Korean summer, there is bound to be at least an ample amount of skirtmeat for our visual pleasure. He is going make the distance somewhere between 5 and 6 kilometers.
The on-site has adequate shade and enough seating for a boisterous pack of hashers. Our HonSec has generously volunteered to be the substitute hooch while the prof lays trail for the run. Come one, come all!

The real day of independence in 1776 might have been the 2nd rather than the 4th. In any case, the Yanks decided to part company with the Brits and the rest they say is history. Coincidentally, 2 signatories and 2 presidents, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, died exactly 5 decades later, 4/July/1826; yeah, on the very same day. Strange how things work out sometimes, but I digress.
We are going to meet at our usual gazebo a few minutes from the station enterance. Restrooms are nearby. Shade will be ample at the on-site and the trail. Our loop is going to be marked with chalk and flour and be somewhere between 5 and 6 kilometres. With warm weather and greenery, lots of soft, shapely lovelies should d be abundant, even if it's a bit cloudy.
World Cup Stadium Station is on Line#6. Transfer at Samgakji from Line#4, Yaksu from Line#3, or Hapjeong from Line#2. It is between Digital Media Center and Mapo-gu Office stations. I am confident you gents can figures it out. Follow the half-arrows to the on-site from either exit.
So get off your duff, join the gathering, and enjoy the day. You might need a small umbrella; however, there will be a contingency plan set up in the unlikely event of torrential rain. Stay posted on the Kakao Talk. See you guys at the appointed hour!

It is the Summer Solstice, so GM Bloodfish has decided to take the Hash to the Double Pagoda to celebrate the longest day of the year. The significance of the summer solstice has varied among cultures, but most recognize the event in some way with holidays, festivals, and rituals around that time with themes of fertility In the Roman Empire, the traditional date of the summer solstice was 24 June. In Germanic-speaking cultures, the time around the summer solstice is called 'midsummer'. Traditionally in northern Europe midsummer was reckoned as the night of 23-24 June, with summer beginning on May Day. Will there be virgin sacrifices? Will there be fire? One thing for sure is the GM will provide a trail that is worthy of this celebration. So bring your shiggy socks and shoes, and your thirst for beer.

Hashy Memorial Day weekend coming up gentlemen, which means it's Highway to Hash Hell 2024. This year, upon special request, it's a family affair, so your significant udders are welcome to join.
You can expect a tastefully laid trail waiting for you presented by JM Squishy, pregnant with photo opportunities. A challenging trail so easy an infanticipating mother to be could do it.
Upon completion, set your sights on the lights of Songtan, where the Hash Social will engage at 1800.
On On!
If you're an Iron Hasher just follow the pack from the morning's YK trail in Suwon.
If not, bring your wife OR girlfriend (not and! We don't need that drama) down to Osan University Station (Dark Blue) Line 1, exit 1 and follow the half arrows for an on-time start of 2pm.

Yes, in the far back year of 322, the Roman Emperor Constantine proclaimed free bread rations for all the citizens who wanted or needed it. What's better than free bread? Free beer! Sorry, no can do. However, for the modest and customary W10,000 you can still drink as much of the tasty brew as your heart desires. Lagers and IPAs for all who want them.
This centrally located spot (Ichon) has some greenery, mostly flat terrain, a few convenience stores, and 1 or 2 bathrooms along the route. The weather is gradually getting warmer, so more lovelies of the soft, shapely persuasion should be out and about this Saturday afternoon.
So get off your duff, go to the on-site, and enjoy the mild weather of spring while it still lasts. It's harder to chase skirtmeat in summer since the heat and humidity can slow you down. Remember, the change-off starts 2 weeks later on 20240601.
Ichon is on Line#4, very close to Samgakji (Lines 4 & 6). It should be reasonably convenient for most if not all the SH3 hashers. The on-site is less than 5 minutes walking from Exit#2 and nicely shaded. The trail will be somewhere between 5 and 6 kilometers.

Plug N Play has decided to bless us with a proper Seoul Hash trail. The Intel I have gathered from the Hare tells me this might be an adventurous bout through the nearby hills. This will be a welcome change from the slew of city trails we have pioneered over the past weeks. So head on out and see what Plug N Play has in store, I can assure that you won't be displeased.
From Seoul Station take line 4 north 3 stops until you reach Chungmuro and transfer to line 3. Head south 6 stops until you reach Sinsa. Transfer to the red line and head south for 8 stops. Upon arrival at Jeongja station you will need to complete one more transfer where you will board the yellow line for one stop before arriving at Sunae station. Once at Sunae proceed to exit 3 and look for the half arrows guiding you to the on site.
From Pyeongtaek or Osan take line 1 north to Suwon. Transfer to the yellow line and head north for 16 stops. When you get to Sunae Station cum up for air at exit 3 and follow the chalk to the on site.

GM has decided to bless the boys with a splendid trail for this weekend. Last time he chose this site, the trail started with a lovely journey across the Han via boat. I can't guarantee that will happen this time, but who knows you'll have to come find out for yourself. Knowing the GM there will be something to reward those who decide to show up.
The trail should be mostly urban, and the weather forecast looks great so head on out and enjoy running amongst the young lovelys on the Han.
By Train from Seoul Proper
From Itaewon Station on Beige Line 6, get on a Bulgwang-bound train. Once onboard, wait for eight stops and then transfer at Hapjeong Station to the Lime Green Line 2 headed towards Sadang. Get off at the very next stop which will be Dangsan Station. Emerge from the depths at Exit 4 and follow chalk half-arrows down to Cheeri Ho's Hann River yacht club.
By Train From Way Down South
Ride the slow but trusty Blue Line 1 all the way to Sindorim Station. Transfer there for Lime Green Line 2 and it's three stops to the north, on your way to City Hall Station.

Yes, on this day in 1994, South Africa ended apartheid, and oversaw successful elections bringing a multi-racial, multi-party democracy to that country for the first time. What better way to celebrate diversity and participation than to have a Hash at new location: Bulgwang-dong.
In less than 5 minutes from Exit#1, the professor will welcome hisfellow hashers to his very humble abode. Various libation will flow. So, come for the snacks, booze, and conversation before and after the run. He will lay out a trail that swerves and meanders around Bulgwang and Bukhansan. Probably around 5 or 5.5 kilometers. Apartments, trees, hills, and skirtmeat are going to be in relative abundance.
Post-circle, we can dine at a fine barbecue chicken establishment for all those interested. How 'bout it? Grilled, boneless bird with all the trimmings and beer or makgeolli too. Who could ask for anything more?
Push the circle with the bell icon on it, then punch in the numbers 1-9-5-0. Proceed to the elevator and go up to the 6th floor. Ring the doorbell at #601 and the prof will greet you promptly.

Smoke em if you got em and roll on up to Hyochang Park and even though Mary J won't be rolling with the Men on this trail she will be with us in spirit. Bloodfish will further enhance this by laying a delightful trail that will bring the Men in Orange to a Higher Level. What does this mean you may be asking yourselves? Well you will have to come on out to Hyochang Park this Saturday to find out.
From Seoul Station head south on Line 4 to Samgakji and transfer to Line 6 and get off at Hyochang Park. Then proceed to come up for air at exit 1 where you will follow the chalk to the on-site. It will be the traditional place between the stadium and statue of Lee Bong-chang.

EM OB has decided to lay trail this weekend for the men in orange. While the temperature may still be a little cool in Seoul; April 13th marks the official start of the Thai New Year or Songkran. Nowadays this is commonly referred to as the Thai Water Festival. If you are lucky enough to be in Thailand this weekend I'm sure it will be a randy good time. However, for the Men in Seoul it's probably best to keep your super soakers at home until summer time.
Nonetheless, there will be a trail, beer, and good times that will be had by all even if there are no water fights and wet bikinis.
Find your nearest Seoul metropolitan subway and make sure that train is headed towards Eungam Station. To do this you will need to make sure you eventually wind up on the tried and true Brown Line #6. Upon arrival at Eungam quickly proceed to Exit 4 and follow the half arrows to EM's On-Site.

Our beloved Joo Dog Esquire is back in town for yet another weekend of debauchery. This weekend he will be setting a splendid trail out of the well known Oksu on-site which actually has not been graced by SH3's presence for some time. I've heard rumor the trail may be short, flat, and shiggy free but Hare's are known to lie so take that rumor as you will. So if you are free this weekend head on out to enjoy the fine spring weather, cold beer, and all the other sights and smells of Seoul City.
Find the Orange Line No. 3 and board an Oksu bound train. Upon arrival at Oksu station come up for air at Exit 7. Follow "SH3" and arrows marked in chalk to a gathering of orange-shirted men under a bridge.

This Saturday the lovely bridge outside of Samgakji Station will have the privilege of hosting the weekly SH3 on-site. At this fine location we can observe and partake in the 3 B's of the Seoul Hash. The Bridge also known as Troll's lair or something along those lines will provide us good shelter from the elements as there is a chance for afternoon showers this Saturday. While under said Bridge there will be plenty of Beer to quench one's thirst as we shoot the shit and observe the parade of fine B**ches walking to and fro from their fancy apartments.
So head on out this Saturday to enjoy the trail, sites, sounds and maybe even Joo Dog if we are lucky.
From Seoul station head on over to Samgakji station. Come up for air at Exit 8. Follow marks about 150m under a bridge where you will then find beer to enjoy and maybe a hare.

GM has returned from ventures abroad and is hoping to see a grand turnout for this week's hash at Seoul Grand Park. Even more good news is that old man winter is now behind us and the promise of longer warm days lie ahead. GM is returning back to us from Portland if I remember right, so don't be surprised if he happens to have a new drug addiction, neck tat, or multi-colored hair to surprise us with. One thing that won't be a surprise is that there will be a Grand trail with beer!!
By Train:
From Seoul Station catch a south-bound train on the light blue line #4. Continue south until you reach Seoul Grand Park Station #437. Stagger out of the subway car and proceed to find Exit #4. Upon surfacing take a deep breath and look for the SH3 with half-arrows leading you to the on-site.
By Personal Chariot:
If you find yourself too bougie for public transit, then set your GPS to the massive Seoul Grand Park Public parking lot. After parking in the massive lot, you will then need to make your way over to exit 4 of Seoul Grand Park station where you will find the arrows leading to the on-site.

See below for the Professor's words of wisdom for this weekend's trail. Do you believe his claim for a 5k crowd pleaser or is the Professor plotting his first ball buster for the men in orange??
"This March 16th is the last hash run of this winter. We can now look forward to the season of spring soon. It will probably still be on the chilly side, so bundle up and bring your hash cash to the on-site. The on-site is very close to Exit#2 at Ichon Station. The trail will feature dirt paths and concrete sidewalks; however the terrain is probably going to be mostly flat with just a few hills. The run should be about 5 or 5.5 kilometers in length. So come for the trail, beer, snacks, and a possible assortment of skirtmeat."
Ichon Station is on the 4th Line just 2 stops south of Samgakji. You guys can find it. Half-arrows will lead the way.

Our very own Merchant Wanker is coming back to the Land of the Morning Cum for a brief visit this weekend and is looking forward to seeing the gentlemen in orange. EM OB has picked a great location that will take the pack up, down and all around the swanky neighborhood of Merchants old lair. So if you're able be sure to head on out this weekend as a great time is sure to be had by all.
By Mole Transit:
If you're attempting to get to the Hyatt Pagoda via subway, take the Brown Line to Noksapyeong Station and come up for air at Exit 4. From here you will emerge from the depths to proceed approximately 50 meters straight ahead to the closest bus stop. From the Noksapyeong bus stop you will want to catch the Yongsan 03 bus. Once you board the #03 bus stay on it until you reach the Hyatt Hotel which will be the 7th stop after the Noksapyeong bus stop.
By Taxi:
Perhaps the easiest way to the Hyatt Hotel Parking Lot is to hail a cab once you surface from Noksapyeong Station and ask the driver to take you to the Hyatt Hotel. Pagoda is at the front entrance.

This weekend marks the beginning of March which will nearly put the cold grasp of winter fully in our rearview. In the not so far distance there are warm sunny days with streets chock a block full of everyones favorite skirt meat.
Bloodfish has decided to lead the pack on a Texas sized journey around south Seoul to help the pack celebrate the day Texas declared independence from Mexico which occurred on 2 Mar 1836. It probably won't be as rugged as last week but there still should be some ups, downs and a good mix of off pavement trails. So come on out so you can enjoy the fresh air and great view.
From Seoul Station, take line 4 to Chungmuro and transfer to line 3 heading South (Oguem). Go for 10 stops and get off at Nambu Bus Terminal line 3, Exit 5. Follow the chalk for about 10 to 15 minutes. It is at the normal site.

Some of the boys have been out and about for the first part of 2024, but this weekend will mark the return of one of the Seoul Hash travelers. You heard that right Bloodfish will be returning from his U.S. adventures this weekend and is preparing to set a trail through the scenic landscape of Namtaeryeong. You can expect a good portion of mountains, trails, and maybe even the occasional Blankspace trap for this bout so I'd keep the slippers at home. Rumor has it that the JM is bringing a fine Wyoming whiskey, and the Hare is also bringing a beverage from his trip as well. Your best chance for "skirt" meat will be on the subway ride to Namtaeryoeng station, but who knows maybe there will be some young lovelys to lift your spirits out on the trail. Hope to see you all there on-on gents.
Namtaeryeong Station Exit 2 on Light Blue Line No. 4 (Locate "SH3" marking and the associated half arrows to the no longer standing Double Pagoda site) - 15 min walk
By Train From Seoul:
From Seoul Station get on a Line No. 4 train bound for Oido (not Sadang). Stay on it for eight stops. At the eighth station, which is Namtaeryeong, get off and surface at Exit 2. Follow chalk arrows and "SH3" for fifteen minutes and turn left down a gravel road, next to a big stone sign, to the on-site.
By Train From Osan/ Pyeongteak:
From Osan/ Pyeongtaek etc, get on a Line No. 1 train bound for Seoul and transfer to Line No. 4 at Geumjeong Station. Get on a train bound for Danggogae and stay on it for nine stops. At the ninth stop, which is Namtaeryeong, get off and surface at Exit 2. Follow chalk arrows and "SH3" for fifteen minutes and turn left down a gravel road, next to a big stone sign, to the on-site.

In honor of our fellow hasher EM Blank Space, The Professor thought he would lay a trail on those old stomping grounds around Beotigogae Station. Itaewon, Namsan, green hills, and hopefully some skirtmeat will be in abundance as we romp about the area.
The Professor might not be able to open a door by himself, but hell or high water, he'll lay trail this Saturday. Prepare to have fun and maybe get lost along the way. At the on-site, there will be beer, and maybe some snacks to go with it.
Beotigogae is on Line 6, one stop away from Yaksu Station. The on-site will be the same as always. From the station (Exit 3) to the on-site, it is going to be marked with half-arrows. Yes, you got that right, half-arrows!!! Be there or be square.

Don't let these dark winter days drag you down, for Spring could be just around the corner. With Spring cums warmer weather and the increased presence of skirt meat which is a treat for all Seoul Hashers young and old. Hymen, being an Australian and skirt meat connoisseur does not care what the famous rodent sees or doesn't see on Friday for he plans to set a trail that will bring an early Spring to Korea no matter what!
Locate your nearest subway station for dispatch and proceed to line number 1, or line number 4 that is headed to Seoul Station.
Upon arrival at Seoul Station you will want to navigate to exit 15. If you have made it this far you should find yourself departing the station via exit 15 at which point you will discover the all familiar SH3 followed by a series of half arrows guiding you to the on-site. If for some reason you can't see the chalk. Call the Hare and he can provide the directions you desire.

On this fine day we will be returning to the scene of his last misadventure. Sleazey wants to remind all of you he hates you and will lay a trail to kill you and give you cancer and aids. Good Luck.
Use your preferred method of getting to the Green Line #2 and take the train to Sadang. If you're going clockwise, stay on the train for one more station and get off at Nakseongdae Station. If you're going counter-clockwise, get off one stop before Sadang at Nakseongdae. Cum up for air at Exit 4 and follow chalk half-arrows to the on-on site.
From Exit 4 it will probably take you wanks about 10 min to get to the on site so plan accordingly.

On this day in 1887, the United States Navy purchased Pearl Harbor on the island of Oahu from the Hawaiian Kingdom. Probably worked out better for the US than the Hawaiians.
This will be the third trail of the new year. The professor will mark this trail with his single-minded determination and absent-minded train of thought. The professor's weather forecast is for clear, sunny skies. However, dress warmly unless you want to freeze your ass off.

Gentlemen, it is now the New Year and JM Squishy is itching to lay the best trail for 2024. Now that the holidays are behind us you all should have plenty of time to come out and enjoy a fine Saturday with the Lads. You can expect this trail to possibly go into the mountains, however I can't make any guarantees because the Hare was brief on his description for this trail. Nonetheless I can assure you all this trail will have something for everyone. Since it is January in the land of the morning cum it will obviously be cold so be sure to dress warm.
From Seoul station take line 4 to Seoul Racecourse Park station. (Get on the Oido and Ansan train, not the Sadang train). Come up for air at exit 6. It is at the traditional location. But there should be chalk to follow as well.

GM feels it has been too long since the pack has romped about in the foreigner friendly lands known as Itaewon and he would like to fix that. So this weekend prepare for a splendid trail through the tight alleys that will surely have you going down down, and up up up many a time. Don't worry though you will be rewarded for your efforts as I'm sure this trail will provide great view. On top of that if you are up for it the HBC bar scene is just a short stroll from Noksapyeong for the on after.
**GM would also like to note that everyone should pack light**
He hasn't confirmed yet, but this may be an A to B trail, so there is a possibility the end will not be where the start is.
From Seoul station, get on Line 4 heading south, transfer from Samgakji to Line 6 on a Noksapyeong bound train which is only one stop! When you arrive at Noksapyeong station head up from the depths and come out exit 1 where you will find the half arrows leading you to the on site.

This Saturday, prepare for the first official trial of the winter season. While it may be a tad frigid these days the kind hare will do his best to keep the pack out of the cold dark shadows. For it is nearly Christmas and he would hate for a fellow half mind to be cold. Continuing with the spirit of giving the hare will also try to make 2 trails, if all goes to plan that is. A cold wintery trail or 2 is not all that is on the menu for this weekend. For those who do come out, and have RSVP'd on GM's guest list they will be rewarded upon finishing said trail. Yes that's right if you haven't heard there will be quite the on after feast of christmas food and beverages after the run in the warmth of GM's fine apartment.
If you are not tracking already this will also be a Family Run, so feel free to bring the Wife, or girlfriends.
From Seoul Station take line 4 for three stops to Sinyongsan station and surface at exit 3. Or if you prefer you could take line 1 for two stops to Yongsan station and head to exit 1. Follow the chalk for a few minutes and you will find yourself the on site.
For those bringing extra food, or lots of bags feel free to show up at 230pm/1430L so you can drop it off at GM's apartment. Apartment #2205
Due to the frigid weather that has now engulfed the peninsula we may start in the lobby of GM's apartment or even in his actual apartment. It is almost Christmas and he seems to be feeling generous.
For anyone who still hasn't reserved a limited spot for the on after dinner/party please see the link below.
We will cap at about 30 for the dinner portion.

You read that correctly this week is trail #2769 and our very experienced hare Hymen is eager to lay the trail. While thinking of about the title for this weeks trail it came across my mind that it has been some since an SH3 trail has encountered a rape chair out in the wild. So I passed this along to the Hare and he will do his best to find one for us to enjoy for trail #2769. He did remind me that the area around the Seoul Station location is not prime grounds for a rape chair, but I have faith that our Hare won't let us down. On another note, while we have currently been enjoying rather warm weather for almost all of December so far, it seems that this very Saturday will return to the frigid temps we are all too familiar with for winter time in Korea. With that being said, remember to dress warm.
Locate your nearest subway station for dispatch and proceed to line number 1, or line number 4 that is headed to Seoul Station.
Upon arrival at Seoul Station you will want to navigate to exit 15. If you have made it this far you should find yourself departing the station via exit 15 at which point you will discover the all familiar SH3 followed by a series of half arrows guiding you to the on-site. If for some reason you can't see the chalk. Call the Hare and he can provide the directions you desire.

In memory of the Spanish Republic, established on 9 December 1931. It only lasted from December 1931 to the spring of 1939 before Francisco Franco won the civil war and destroyed it. Our esteemed Professor will lay out a trail that you will never forget, even if you try. You are all aware of his hare-brained schemes.
I've also been reminded by our outstanding JM to mention that this Saturday will also be the closest Saturday we will have this year to the anniversary of Pearl Harbor which falls on 7 Dec.
Skirtmeat is likely to be covered with coats and hats. Greenery tends to be brown in winter, but don't let that stop you. Come one and all for trail, beer, snacks, and tales to be told afterward. If it is really cold, we'll have a quick circle before we park our asses in a nice warm bar or restaurant nearby.
Samgakji Station can be found on Line 4 or Line 6. It's near Shinyongsan, Itaewon, Sookmyung Dae, and HyoChang Park. You guys can figure it out. We meet there quite frequently.

Our JM Squishy has been missing EM Blankspace dearly and has decided to lay a trail at one of the on sites located in Blanks neck of the woods. Being that it gets dark quite quickly these days, and the trail is located away from any large mountains one could expect this trail to be short, flat and shiggy free. However, hares can be tricky and Squishy is no exception and with the trail happening on the 39th anniversary of the Bhopal, India disaster, who knows what could happen.
From Seoul Station take the subway line 4 to Ichon station. Once at Ichon station navigate to exit 2 and follow the half arrows to the on site which will be at the usual spot near the Museum.
If you prefer driving I'm sure there is plenty of parking for a fee at the National Museum of Korea.

This Saturday our GM is ordering everyone to mimic Britain's evacuation of New York by evacuating the comfort of your homes. Once you have evacuated, continue your journey towards the lands of Yongsan. Upon arrival you should find a Hare or two, possibly a trail, and an assortment of fine beverages to greet you.
GM Cheeri Ho has also designed a new Korea H3 shirt that will be for sale at this weekend's hash. If you would like one of these fine shirts please bring some extra money so you can purchase one. Since they are a KH3 shirt that represents all of Korea's Hash Kennels these may go fast. The price for a shirt is 20k Korean won.
From Seoul Station take line 4 for three stops to Sinyongsan station and surface at exit 3. Or if you prefer you could take line 1 for two stops to Yongsan station and head to exit 1. Follow the chalk for a few minutes and you will find the on site.

Why the name Steamboat Willie you may be asking yourselves? Well on 18 Nov 1928 Steamboat Willie aired at a theater in New York starring Mickey Mouse for the first time marking the date as his official birthday. I believe a few of our beloved EM's may have even been in the audience that day in 1928 to witness the moment in history. Speaking of EM's, our very own EM OB is ready to lay a crowd pleaser of a trail this weekend full of ups, downs, views and dark alleys that will have the pack inspecting nearly every crevice of the local area. Also if you haven't noticed the weather has become rather cold recently so dress accordingly for the cooler temps to fully enjoy circle after your jaunt around Namsan.
By Mole Transit:
If you're attempting to get to the Hyatt Pagoda via subway, take the Brown Line to Noksapyeong Station and come up for air at Exit 4. From here you will emerge from the depths to proceed approximately 50 meters straight ahead to the closest bus stop. From the Noksapyeong bus stop you will want to catch the Yongsan03 bus. Once you board the #03 bus stay on it until you reach the Hyatt Hotel which will be the 7th stop after the Noksapyeong bus stop.
By Taxi:
Perhaps the easiest way to the Hyatt Hotel Parking Lot is to hail a cab once you surface from Noksapyeong Station and ask the driver to take you to the Hyatt Hotel. Pagoda is at the front entrance.

Head on out this Saturday to enjoy the cool breezy weather while indulging in the hash beverage of choice beer! With this weekend's trail falling on 11 November there were many options to choose from. However, with the Hare being a Yank he opted for a Veterans Day themed trail. You can expect this to be a city trail that will treat the pack with great view and possibly some sights to honor the Veterans.
From Seoul Station head south on Line 4 to Samgakji and transfer to Line 6 and get off at Hyochang Park. Then proceed to come up for air at exit 1 where you will follow the chalk to the onsite. It will be the traditional place between the stadium and statue of Lee Bong-chang.

To celebrate his upcoming wedding Squishy has decided to make one last trail before he officially ties the knot. You can expect this to be a standard Seoul trail that will likely take you through the ups, downs and alleys of the surrounding area. Upon completion of his fine trail and circle Squishy plans to guide the pack back to Itaewon for a night of debauchery.
From Seoul station head on over to Samgakji station. Come up for air at Exit 8. Follow marks about 150m under a bridge where you will then find beer to enjoy and maybe a hare.

Hello half-minds in orange,
I'm subbing as HonSec this week as our actual HonSec is enjoying the lovely climes of Vietnam. Or at least we hope the Air Force member is there on a mission of leisure.
I have a morning cavity filling at Suwon City Hall station on the yellow line, so I'll be making a trail from there. Hope to see you there! Reminder about 3pm on Saturday. Apparently lads got confused last weekend, as I was the only one on trail besides the hare. It must have been scheduling errors.
Cum on down, I promise a trail with arrows and beer. On-site is pretty directly in front of the exit.
On on!
Squishy, JM
What: 2762
When: October 28th, 3pm
Where: Suwon City Hall exit 5, 3 minutes walk
Hash cash: 10,000 won
Hare: Squishy
Get yourself to exit 5 of Suwon city Hall station on the yellow Bundang line. Walk less than 200m following half arrows to wherever I decide circle is going to be.
By car: same destination, find the parking lot that's part of the park there.
November 4th: Squishy, Bachelor party /Stag Do trail
November 25th: Cheeri Ho, at his pad
Professor D'Erections promises to lay out a path across the central part of Seoul. The completed marked trail will be at least 5 kilometers and maybe closer to 6 km. Take it at your own speed.
Hopefully, there is going to be sufficient scenery for my fellow hashers. The area includes the park of course and Sookmyung Women's University. That means nice, big trees and even nicer, shapely skirtmeat.
So, don't be shy or lazy. Get your butts and your 10,000 won over to the on-site punctually. On-time starts are certainly my preference. Hopefully, they are yours as well. Be there or be square.
From Seoul Station head south on Line 4 and transfer at Samgakji Station to Hyochang Park Station on Line 6. Come up for air at exit 2 and follow the chalk (half arrows) that will lead you away from the subway station and towards Hyochang Park for about 10 minutes.

****REMEMBER IT IS 14:00 or 2:00 PM Start*****
Gather round you Wanks
The time has cum to celebrate our much anticipated Nth *un #2750. This year it will be held in none other than the rowdy city of Pyeongtaek. Pyeongtaek is somewhat of a lawless town at times, and perfect for any great Hash event.
The GM has been hard at work ensuring this will be one to be remembered. GM has designed a fine shirt and patch to commemorate this event. On top of that he has made great effort to ensure anyone with the slightest thirst for beer will have that desire immediately quenched as he has already filled his entire fridge with a variety of brews. On top of these fine beverages there will also be Cheeri Ho's signature Sausage Sizzle to fill the packs hunger.
The Hare's are also promising a fine trail with many sights to behold. For this trail there will likely be an A / D split so if you aren't feeling like getting the full tour of Pyeongtaek you can opt for the shorter trail and save your energy for the on after. Pyeongtaek is a relatively flat area for the mountainous lands of Korea, but don't worry the Hare's know the location of the few Pyeongtaek hills that will surely give great views. Shiggy may be present at times, and there will most likely be skirt meat on trail and with it being Pyeongtaek some of that skirt meat may be on the market for a price.
In the spirit of transparency here is the cost breakdown:
Shirt: $16
Patches: $5
Beer, Water Softies: $15
Food: $14 for Sausages, Chili & Chips
Total: $50 or 65,000KRW
**1200L**: Option A: Depart Yongsan Station via GM's Hooptie Van (Driver +7 Max / 5 Comfortable) (Note: Van will return to Seoul Sunday, you are welcome to join). For the van, GM currently has 2 confirmed passengers so there is still room for more if anyone departing from the Seoul area would like to claim a spot and ride in style!
To make sure you get a reserved seat please contact GM Cheeri Ho!
Phone: 010-3449-1972
Email: edward.b.hintz@gmail.com
Option B: Make your own way Depart Seoul Train Station or wherever you are originating from. The best method for this would be to get on a subway or train that is on line 1 (Dark Blue line) and is heading south. You can easily take a KTX or Mungungwha train from Seoul, Yongsan, or even Yeongdeungpo station by purchasing a ticket for a train to Pyeongtaek station. Via subway on line 1 will require a little more effort and take a bit longer but it will still get you to Pyeongtaek. If you take the subway make sure your train is not one going to Seodongtan, or Incheon!
Once you arrive at Pyeongtaek station, proceed out exit 1 and follow the half arrows to the starting point. It will be approximately a 10 min walk to the start for chalk talk from the station.
Remember this is an A to B trail but no need to travel light, there will be a bag vehicle at the start so feel free to bring everything you need.
**Also note the On-Site is located in a remote area about 2km from Pyeongtaek Station. So if anyone is in a hurry to rush back to Seoul right after circle they should know it will take approximately 30 min to get back to Pyeongtaek station walking**

Our one and only Hooch Hymen from the land down under will soon be celebrating yet another trip around the sun. This event has him in the giving mood and he will do his best this weekend to provide the men of the Seoul Hash with a quality trail. A quality trail, much like a birthday cake, requires a few key ingredients. Now you may be asking yourselves what these might be? Now, this may not be the all encompassing list as every chef has their own secret recipe, but here are few you could expect for this weekend.
- A Trail that is well and clearly marked
- A Trail that gives great view
- A few checkpoints to keep the pack together, perhaps even one with beer/makgeolli
- Shiggy
- Plenty of beer to keep the pack hydrated before and after
- An assortment of skirt meat, and yoga pants
March on to your nearest subway station and proceed to the one and only Seoul Station. To do this you will need to eventually find your way onto either the Dark Blue line number 1, or the Light Blue line number 4. Once you are on either of these lines make sure that your train is in fact heading towards Seoul Station and not away from it!
Upon arrival at Seoul Station you will want to navigate to exit 15. If you have made it this far you should find yourself departing the station via exit 15 at which point you will discover the all familiar SH3 followed by a series of half arrows guiding you to the on-site. If for some reason you can't see the chalk. Call the Hare and he will lead you to the light.

Half minds dust off the hanboks, purchase an overprice gift set, and prepare for the journey to the hometown. If you haven't guessed by now, Chuseok is here once again! This year Seoul Hash will also be taking a little Chuseok trip to the humble city due East of Seoul known as Yangpyeong. Shillae has requested well in advance to secure the hare spot for this upcoming weekend so I can assure you it will be a great trail and well worth the quick trip outside of Seoul.
What to expect for this week's trail you might ask? A trail with the promise of great view, cold brew, great fall weather, and possibly some shiggy.
By subway:
From Seoul and environs: Find the Gyoungui-Jungang line and get on a train heading to Yongmun or Jipyoung. If you board a train for Deokso, get off at Donong station and wait for the next Yongmun or Jipyoung train.
Line 1: change at Yongsan station
Line 2: change at Hongdae Ipku [Hongik Univ.] or Wangshimni
Line 3: change at Oksu
Line 4: change at Ichon
Line 5: change at Gongdeok or Wangshimni
Line 6: change at Gongdeok or Hyochang Park
Line 7: change at Sangbong (be careful to follow the signs to the Gyoungui-Jungang line and not the GyeongChun line to Chunchon)
Suin-Bundang line: change at Wangshimni
IMPORTANT: Only two trains per hour to Yongmun or Jipyoung. Time your departure accordingly.
[Other: There are occasional KTX trains from Seoul station and Saemaul trains from Chongryangni]
By chariot: Be advised that parking close to the On On is almost nonexistant and the nearby paid parking areas usually full. On On is at 37.492100, 127.489870
On On site from Yangpyeong station: Exit the ticket gate and turn left. Exit the main entrance to the station (exit 1), walk straight across the street and walk 100 meters on the right side of the gently downsloping street. At the CU/small bridge descend the stairway.to the right.

Sober up, but not too much and hobble on down, or up to the outer reaches of Seoul where you will find the hasher's delight known as the double pagoda. Squishy was going to craft this trail himself, but got a last minute update on a Saturday morning class that he will need to cater to. So I decided to lend a hand in making the trail this weekend to ensure it's a nice one to please the fellow visiting Hashathoners.
Things to expect will be shiggy, ups, downs, Blankspace traps, fair weather, potentially some young lovelies enjoying a hike, and cold beer. If you're lucky there may even be a few ice cold makgeolli (the preferred sports drink of a Seoul Hasher) beverage checks stashed away in some random machine gun nests.
Namtaeryeong Station Exit 2 on Light Blue Line No. 4 (follow arrows and "SH3" markings to the no longer standing Double Pagoda) - 15 min walk
By Train From Seoul:
From Seoul Station get on a Line No. 4 train bound for Oido (not Sadang). Stay on it for eight stops. At the eighth station, which is Namtaeryeong, get off and surface at Exit 2. Follow chalk arrows and "SH3" for fifteen minutes and turn left down a gravel road, next to a big stone sign, to the on-site.
By Train From Osan/ Pyeongteak:
From Osan/ Pyeongtaek etc, get on a Line No. 1 train bound for Seoul and transfer to Line No. 4 at Geumjeong Station. Get on a train bound for Danggogae and stay on it for nine stops. At the ninth stop, which is Namtaeryeong, get off and surface at Exit 2. Follow chalk arrows and "SH3" for fifteen minutes and turn left down a gravel road, next to a big stone sign, to the on-site.

Cheeri Ho, known for enjoying some of the finer things in life such as sailing, has decided to hare this week's run which just so happens to be on Mayflower Day. Now for the educational portion just to make sure everyone is caught up on their history.
Mayflower Day commemorates the day the ship set sail from Plymouth, England in 1620. On September 16 of 1620, the Mayflower set sail from Plymouth, England with 102 souls on board. These colonists- men, women, children, some seeking fortune, some seeking religious freedom - were later known as pilgrims.
The colonists' intended to land in Virginia. However, after 66 days at sea, storms and winds blew them off course. After spotting modern-day Cape Cod, the members of the Mayflower intended on exploring the mouth of the Hudson River. However, rough seas continued to plague the ship. They turned back and stayed at Cape Cod.
Moving onto the run details, the on-site will be very close to the Seoul Marina so you can expect to see some boats and possibly some Hoe's. You should also find that the trail will likely be relatively flat and mostly shiggy free. However, I can't make any guarantees that the weather will stay dry this weekend like it has been so be prepared to possibly get wet.
By Train from Seoul Proper
From Itaewon Station on Beige Line 6, get on a Bulgwang-bound train. Once onboard, wait for eight stops and then transfer at Hapjeong Station to the Lime Green Line 2 headed towards Sadang. Get off at the very next stop which will be Dangsan Station. Emerge from the depths at Exit 4 and follow chalk half-arrows down to Cheeri Ho's Hann River yacht club.
By Train From Way Down South
Ride the slow but trusty Blue Line 1 all the way to Sindorim Station. Transfer there for Lime Green Line 2 and it's three stops to the north, on your way to City Hall Station.

Brothers in Orange, we at the Seoul Hash have been informed that another beloved member of the Seoul Hash has gone on the eternal false trail. If you are able to join this weekend's hash, the trail will be a memorial run to honor Over There's time with the Hash. From what I have gathered, Over There loved to sing and had a great singing voice. So, if anyone has any of Over There's songs please send them to me, or better yet come on out and share them at circle.
For the trail you can expect a standard Seoul Hash that will lead you through the land known as Seoul City. It will be mostly urban with its share of ups, downs, and everything in between.
From Seoul Station head south on Line 4 and transfer at Samgakji Station to Hyochang Park Station on Line 6. Come up for air at exit 1 and follow the chalk (half arrows) for about 10 minutes.

While this week's Seoul Hash won't occur on the only blue moon of 2023, it will be close enough in my book for the Men in Orange to celebrate it! However, the celebration won't only be for the moon, as Hymen has guaranteed that this will be the best trail of September so far.
Knowing Hymen's love for the off the beaten path trails one could expect some sharp changes in elevation and possibly some shiggy. I wouldn't expect Texas grade shiggy as Hymen likes to call it but you may come across some twiggy passages.
So get out and proceed to Yangjae this Saturday to enjoy the trail, great views, cold brews, and give a big Howl at whatever is left of the blue moon.
From Seoul Station, head to Chungmuro on Line 4, and transfer to a subway heading south on Line 3. Get off at Yangjae Station and head to exit 10. Follow the half arrows to the onsite. It should be a 5-minute walk from the exit.

This weekend is none other than National Toilet Paper day. Due to this I'm sure EM OB will ensure that every toilet check on trail is well stocked with fat rolls of the white paper.
I've also heard more than once that another one of our EM's is single handedly responsible for introducing this Peninsula with toilet paper sometime way way back in the days of the Peace Corps. Which is why in a town much further south of Seoul the locals still refer to these rolls as Hank.
Enough with the tissue talk, I'm sure you all want to hear about what to expect on this week's trail. Well for starters it looks like it will be a relatively flat, shiggy free trail and it will have the potential to give great view near the river. I'm sure the temps will be hot, and the skirt meat will be sizzling, so cum on out and enjoy the trail and cool off with some ice cold beer.
From Seoul Station you will want to board a south bound subway on the one and only Line #1. Once aboard, travel for 3 stops until you reach Noryangjin station. At Noryangjin station you will need to transfer from Line #1 and proceed to Line #9. When you finally stumble upon Line #9, board a subway bound for Gaewha station and proceed for one stop. Once you have arrived at Saetgang Station, find Exit 3 and look for the half arrows that will lead you to the on-site.

Unfortunately it seems as though Squishy's Dog Days trail did not end this sultry heat. However, our Professor isn't going to let a little heat ruin his jaunt through the finer sides of Mapo-Gu. Some things you can expect on this trail will be not only asphalt and concrete, but also dirt, trees, and if luck is on your side, perhaps some shade as well. The scenery from the greenery and skirt meat should be enough motivation for you all to come on out. Beer and snacks are going to be provided of course (bring your hash cash). Post-run festivities can be determined in short order.
Via mole transit, locate the trusty Brown Line #6. If this Brown line is not in your neck of the woods then proceed to it by transferring from Yaksu, Samgakji, Gongdeok, or Hapjeong station. If you've gone all the way to Bulgwang Station (D'Erections neighborhood), you've gone too far. Once there, come up for air at the top of Exit 2, and look for the hashmarks to the usual awning with benches, less than 5 minutes walking to the on-site.

Squishy himself has stepped up this weekend with hopes of making a trail that may very well end this sweltering heat wave. As most of you know we are in a time that is commonly known as the Dog Days of Summer. For the uninformed here is a brief tidbit about the Dog Days.
The Dog Days or Dog Days of summer are the hot, sultry days of summer. They were historically the period following the heliacal rising of the star system Sirius (known colloquially as the "Dog Star"), which Hellenistic astrology connected with heat, drought, sudden thunderstorms, lethargy, fever, mad dogs, and bad luck. Let's hope you guys have a little luck and trail doesn't run into any mad dogs.
Squishy has promised to hold circle in a "secret cool tunnel" so maybe the heat won't be so bad. This will further be helped by plenty of ice cold beer which should help beat the heat.
By Mole Transit:
From Seoul Station catch a south-bound train on the light blue line #4. Continue south until you reach Seoul Grand Park Station #437. Stumble out of the subway car and proceed to find Exit #3. Once you emerge from the depths look for SH3 and half-arrows leading you to the on-site.
By Personal Chariot:
If you would rather drive and sit in the wonderful Seoul traffic instead of looking at the lovely subway skirtmeat then set your GPS to the massive Seoul Grand Park Public parking lot. If you choose this path, you will still need to make your way over to exit 3 of Seoul Grand Park station to find the arrows leading to the On-site.

Stagger on down to Samgakji station this weekend and get treated to a great trail by none other than Bloodfish himself. While on trail you can expect a mostly urban environment due to the location, but the Hare will do his best to find an off pavement trail. In any case you can be sure that there will be great view, drinks in the form of beer, and pizza at the end. We will also likely be headed to a local bar possibly in the nearby Itaewon area to have a few celebratory drinks for Bloodfish's birthday.
On On
Bloodfish Hon. Sec
From Seoul station, get on line 4 (light blue line) headed south for 2 stops and get off at Samgakji station and come up for air at exit 8. Follow the chalk to the glorious underpass onsite.
Not the best area for parking so I would suggest taking public transport.

Good evening fellow half-minds in orange. This weekend those daring enough to venture out from the comfort of their lairs will be rewarded by an epic trail crafted by Cheeri Ho!
For your troubles you will be rewarded with "Great View" of the historic, scenic and skirt meat variety. With Great View you can, at times, expect a sharp increase in elevation. Due to this, one should be prepared for some ups, as well as downs. The Hare also tells me there will be "ice cream" at the top, and to make sure you bring some WATER!
With it being National Chicken Wing Day it would almost be considered a crime to not have some sort of chicken, preferably of the wing type as the on-after celebration.
From Seoul Station you will want to get on Line 1, the Dark Blue Line and board a northbound subway. After that you will go 3 stops to Jongno 3(sam)-ga, once here you will want to get off the subway and transfer from Line 1, the Dark Blue Line to Line 3, the Orange Line. Once at the Orange line, get on a subway headed towards Daehwa Station and go 4 stops and get off at Muakjae Station. Once you find yourself at Muakjae, come up for air at exit one and follow the half arrows uphill to the on-site. The Hare tells me it is about a 12 min jaunt up the hill. If you don't feel like making the trek up the hill the Hare tells me you can take the Local 13 Bus to the top of the hill, where you will find the on-site.
There does not appear to be any good parking in the area, so I would suggest taking public transport.

This Saturday slide on over to the east side of Seoul, where there will be a quality Seoul Hash trail full of surprises courtesy of Double Deuce himself. It's probably the only spot in Seoul where you have a chance of being mauled by an actual lion or tiger. Let's just hope the Hare doesn't lay trail through any of the animal enclosure's.
The best way to find the on-site will be to head to the nearest subway line and navigate to Children's Grand Park subway station. This station is located on the Dark Green Line, which is Line number 7. Once you arrive at Children's Grand Park station come on up for some air at Exit 5. There may be a few half arrows leading you to the on-site from here, but the Hare assures me that the on-site is directly out of the Exit 5 so it should not be hard to find.
If you choose to arrive via personal chariot you will want to navigate to the public parking lot of Seoul Children's Grand Park. Just remember if you do this you will still need to navigate to exit 5 of Children's Grand Park subway station by foot to find the on-site.

Giddy up, and get your asses on over to the scenic lands of North Suwon. Will there be a rodeo on trail you may be asking ? Unfortunately I can't make any guarantees on that. However, I can guarantee that Squishy from the wild state of Wyoming will set a trail that is sure to take you for a ride. At this location you will experience a mix of city and country side trails that should appeal to everyone's taste.
From Seoul Station, board the Line 1 subway (dark blue) southbound towards Sinchang. You will want to make sure that you are not on the subway bound for Incheon. If you do get on the Incheon bound train you will need to switch subways before departing Guro Station or you will be in for a surprise! Another thing to remember is that Hwaseo Station is not a stop for the express subway, so if you happen to be on an express train you will need to switch trains before Hwaseo Station to avoid backtracking.
If you are coming from the south, get on the Line 1 subway (dark blue) northbound towards Seoul Station. Ensure you are not on an express subway and proceed to Hawseo Station.
For travel by personal chariot, navigate to Hwaseo station and utilize one of the public parking lots near the subway station. It does not appear like there is free parking near the onsite.

Get out this Saturday, and kiss that sweet A/C good bye! While this may seem like a bad idea at first, I can assure you that you won't be sorry you came. Due to the rather posh location that Yangjae Station is located in, I'm quite certain that a skirt meat advisory will need to be issued in addition to the heat advisory. Regardless of the sweltering temps, our very own Hooch Hymen guarantees that all who cum will be rewarded with ice cold beer and a stunner of a trail.
From Seoul Station, head to Chungmuro on Line 4, and transfer to a subway heading south on Line 3. Get off at Yangjae Station and head to exit 10. Follow the half arrows to the onsite. It should be a 5-minute walk from the exit.
Not the best location for driving, but if you must, you may be able to find a parking garage near Yangjae Station.

Prepare yourselves for a hot and humid run through the wonderful Jichuk area. Our very own Professor D'Erections is promising a great trail this Saturday that should be complete with amazing scenery and if you're lucky maybe even some skirt meat.
So cum on out and celebrate the trail, Canada Day, and don't forget to blame Canada for something.
With the Korean Monsoon kicking off this week and rain expected nearly everday this week, there is a chance you may come across some mud or water on trail. A pair of grippy shoes may be advised to prevent a nasty slip down the steep hills of Jichuk.
From Seoul Station head north on Line 4 to Chungmuro and transfer to Line 3 heading north to Daehwa. If the subway stops at Gupabal. Get off and wait for the next train heading north. Get off at Jichuk station and follow the chalk (half arrows) from exit 2.
If you at driving, put Jichuk station in your GPS and follow it. Parking is on the street so you will need to find it.

Fellow half-minds, if you are able please come out this weekend as we pay tribute to two great hashers that have gone on-on to the eternal false trail before us.
One of them being the former EM Ultraman who we can thank for the still carried on Hash traditions of the annual Chuncheon bike ride, Wednesday night chicken and beer, and the enduring love for Carlsberg beer. Probably the best beer in the World.
The other being GM Robbie Douglass, who was the 3rd Seoul Hash GM. He was known for being a great all around guy, and also did a great deal to get the Hash going in the early stages.
To commemorate these great Hasher's, Bloodfish has promised an excellent trail for all to enjoy through the scenic hills that surround the no longer standing Double Pagoda. Due to the location there will most likely be shiggy, some ups, and a few downs, so be prepared! It also looks like it will be very hot this Saturday, but fear not as there should be an ample number of beverage's checks along the trail to quench your thirst.
Namtaeryeong Station Exit 2 on Light Blue Line No. 4 (follow arrows and "SH3" markings to the no longer standing Double Pagoda) - 15 min walk
By Train From Seoul:
From Seoul Station get on a Line No. 4 train bound for Oido (not Sadang). Stay on it for eight stops. At the eighth station, which is Namtaeryeong, get off and surface at Exit 2. Follow chalk arrows and "SH3" for fifteen minutes and turn left down a gravel road, next to a big stone sign, to the on-site.
By Train From Osan/ Pyeongteak:
From Osan/ Pyeongtaek etc, get on a Line No. 1 train bound for Seoul and transfer to Line No. 4 at Geumjeong Station. Get on a train bound for Danggogae and stay on it for nine stops.

Good evening half-minds in orange,
The time has come for the annual GM Changeover. This Saturday June 17th at 1600 (note the time change) meet us at Ground Zero for the best laid Seoul Hash trail of the week!
As you drag your ass back in, enjoy a new shirt, patch, cold beer, and fresh pizza. Then the ceremony will begin and I can unload my responsibilities on the next guy.

If you don't know it, go to Hangangjin Exit 1 and follow pack marks to Ground Zero, about a 15 minute walk.
If you're driving, set your sights on the Grand Hyatt and whip out those puppy dog eyes to let you park there.
Other kennel male hashers are welcome to join! We'll have plenty of cold beer for visitors, cum help us drink it! Harriettes welcome to join us in Itaewon for on-after.
Hey you half-minds in orange,
Your GM is recovering from soju and just now remembered I need to make the post.
Choopa Cabroan stepped up to make a trail after changing his departing flight. He's planning on a shiggy-free meander through the back alleys of downtown Seoul.
Cum on out for some cold beer during the lull in expected precipitation. I'll be there by hook or by crook.
On on!
Squishy, GM
Get your ass to Seoul Station and find the west side exit 15, sometimes confusingly labeled. It's a long hike under the tracks.
Don't drive.
Announcement: GM changeover next weekend, Ground Zero.
Good evening half-minds in orange,
Your GM Squishy is pinch-hitting this weekend, the first weekend of June. Swing on down to Gwacheon exit 3 and follow marks to the on-site. Cum have a few beers with Squishy after breaking a sweat.
On On!
Squishy, GM
By Tube: from Seoul Station, hop on the light blue line 4 south bound for a couple stops and come up for air at Gwacheon station exit 3.
By personal coach: set your sat nav for the massive parking lot at Seoul Grand Park. Drive right past it when you arrive and follow the road for about 150 meters, turn right, and park on that road. On-site is in that pedestrian tunnel ahead of you.
Announcement: GM Changeover on June 17th, at Ground Zero.
It is time for hash hell! There will be many trails for you all, but none so challenging as a Seoul trail. There will be many opportunities to fail. But the Hooch and the GM are going to give you a trail to call your mom about. So cum on down south and test yourself.
Food will be at the on-after, the Hash Social at Tiger in Songtan
From Seoul Station Head way South to Sema on Line 1. Then follow the chalk from exit 2.
Come join EM Blank Space as he lays his last Seoul Hash trail before he leaves the Land of the Morning Cum. Most of us believed that this day would never happen but it will. So cum out and say goodbye to EM Blank Space as he lays a trail that will have ups and downs and long parts and short parts. Then the EM will entertain the pack. So come and run trail and say goodbye to this Seoul Hasher before he moves to the U.S.
From Seoul station, get on Line 4 heading south, transfer from Samgakji to Line 6, head towards Noksapyeong, and get off at Beotigogae. Cum up for air at exit 3 and follow the chalk marks. It will be near Hannam Tennis Court.
Come join Cheeri Ho to celebrate his return to the Land of the Morning Cum and an alcohol-related holiday. How did we get cocktails? In 1806, The Balance and Columbian Repository coined the term "cocktail" as a stimulating liquor with a wide variety of sweets, waters, and bitters. Originally, the Oxford English Dictionary defined the term with a different set of connotations, describing it as a horse with a tail like a cock's, with its tail cocked up instead of hung down. So cum and do a trail, have a beer, or make a cocktail.
From Seoul station, get on Line 4 heading south, transfer from Samgakji to Line 6, head towards Noksapyeong and get off at Beotigogae. Cum up for air at exit 3 and follow the chalk marks. It will be near Hannam Tennis Court.

This week is Star Wars week, with May the 4th be with you, and then our favorite Mexican holiday Cinco de Mayo on Friday, a public holiday for those on the Korean work schedule. So there will be a lot of hangovers for the Revenge of the Sixth run on Saturday. So drag your asses out of bed on Saturday and make your way to Yangjae where the GM will lay a trail for the pack to follow. There will be beer, skirt meat, and a trail. That is a promise! (Can't guarantee the quality of the beer, skirt meat, or trail).
From Seoul Station, head to Chungmuro on Line 4, and transfer to a subway heading south on Line 3. Get off at Yangjae Station and head to exit 9. Follow the half arrows to the onsite. It should be a 5-minute walk from the exit.
The Seoul Hash is supporting our brother and former GM Choopa Cabroan, esquire this Saturday as this frequent Wingy runs down the aisle toward his lovely bride Oso Good. Since she has to be part of it too, the EMs have deigned to allow a family run that they might actually attend.
"Trail" will be marked A to B, with A as the train station and B as the wedding venue. Squishy will have trail marked by 3 PM from both Korean University Station (Line 6, Exit 3) and Cheongnyangni Station (Line 1, Exit 2). It will not be strenuous and you should come dressed smartly and soberish.
The wedding officially starts at 5:20 PM at King Seong Great Memorial Hall. Swing low will occur after the matrimonial event.
* Please Note that this is an event for Hashers known to Choopa or Oso Good.
With ANZAC coming up on Tuesday, Hymen wanted the pack to celebrate and remember the ANZACs with a great trail. So like many young men and women who served, Hymen wants the pack to enjoy a trail with many ups and downs, obstacles, shiggy, and false trails that gave you hope the end was near. But not to worry, once you have finished this trial, you will be doing what soldiers worldwide enjoy doing, having a beer or three.
So come on out on Saturday and join the HonSec Hymen to share a toast to the ANZACs and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
From Seoul Station head north on Line 4 to Chungmuro and transfer to Line 3 heading north to Daehwa. If the subway stops at Gupabal. Get off and wait for the next train heading north. Get off at Jichuk station and follow the chalk (half arrows) from exit 1.

There you may see a cross or two. Maybe Easters eggs. Who knows, someone may rise from the dead. Let's all make our way to the Church of the Seoul Hash and partake in our holy communion of beer. The trail will be something that only an EM can provide, so there will be interesting bits, boring bits, lots of interesting views, and of course beer and maybe a pizza. So Cum on and hash.

Hello All. This Saturday the Seoul Hash will be returning to World Cup Studium where Hymen your Hare for the day will be laying a trail that will take in the area's beautiful surroundings. There will be a mixture of shiggy, mountains, urban, and roads for the hashers to follow and probably get lost. There will be a chance of seeing some wonderful scenery as the weather has been unseasonably warm. So bring yourselves and your thirst for beer for Saturday's trail.
From Seoul Station, head south on Line 4 to Samgakji and transfer to line 6. Then head west nine stations to World Cup Stadium and use exit 3 and follow the chalk. It will be the traditional place.
While the Seoul Hash is known for its love of Beer. There are other beverages that the discerning Hasher enjoy drinking, one being wine. National Drink Wine Day is celebrated annually on February 18 across the United States.
The purpose of National Drink Wine Day is to spread the love and health benefits of wine. Wine has played an essential role in history, religion, and relationships. We embrace the benefits of wine such as new friends, reduced risk of heart disease, and the enhancement of food and life. Saturday National Wine Day is a day we can celebrate, so run a trail and have a beer or two. Then get a glass of wine or a whole bottle.
From Seoul Station, get on line 1 and head north to City Hall Station. Transfer to line 2 and head east to Guui station (12 Stops). Go to exit 2 and follow the chalk to the onsite.
All male hashers are invited to the GM Squishy's Hashy Birthday trail this Saturday. He has survived another orbit of this rock called Earth around the great ball of fire that heats this rock. This Saturday the weather is looking fantastic for the GM's Birthday with a top of 11 degrees. So cum on out to this familiar onsite for trail and beer. There will probably be skirt meat out this weekend, there will be beer and great company. There will be an on-after at a local bar 5 minutes from the onsite.
From Seoul station, head north to Chungmuro on line 4, transfer to line 3, and head south to Suseo for 18 stops. Head up for air at exit 4 or 5. Follow the chalk to the traditional site.

The Hooch, Bloodfish will be taking the Hash and a frozen adventure around the hills, buildings, and forests of Yangjae. It should be a lot warmer than at the start of the week, and if you are cold, just jog a bit quicker. The pack should be prepared for a trail with beautiful views of Seoul and the Gangnam gu. You may see a few Gangnam girls, living in their Gangnam world ....
So with the Lunar New Year over. The Hare will expect the pack to arrive at 3:00 PM on Saturday. There will be beer, food, and a trail. So get your asses out.

There will be beer and easy access to locations for the on after.
Get to Itwaewon station and make your way up the hill to the Grand Hyatt, the front entrance. It will take about 15 to 20 minutes. You can't miss it. You can also grab a taxi from Seoul station. It will take about 10 minutes.
It has been a while since the Seoul Hash has run from Seoul Station. So Hymen has decided that we will have a trail in this location. The hashers will need to watch out for Homeless people, but as an urban trail, it will have the local skirt meat for the pack, and the weather is pretty mild for winter, so they will be out in force.
There will be a trail, beer, and Hashers. What more do you need? So come on out this Saturday.
Get to Seoul Station and head to exit 15. That is the back exit of the station. Then follow the chalk. If you can't do this or see the chalk. Call Hymen on 010-4244-1928
It is a new year and 2023 is looking good. Why? The Seoul Hash will have its traditional New Year run at Seoul Racecourse Park. The trail will be laid by EM Blank Space and Bloodfish, so it will be good and it will have shinggy, I hope. There will be beer and it will be cold. We will also get to watch the winners catch taxis home and the losers take the subway.
From Seoul station take line 4 to Seoul Racecourse Park station. (Get on the Oido and Ansan train, not the Sadang train). Come up for air at exit 6. It is at the traditional location. But there should be chalk to follow as well.
Hey you half-minded gents,
It's your GM this week, as the HonSec is getting his Down Under tickled or something. After a few minutes of listening to him I kinda phase out.
Anyway this Saturday falls on New Year's Eve, which will allow us a moment on trail to consider the poor decisions we've made in 2022, and decide which ones are worth repeating in 2023.
We'll be meeting under our traditional bridge, and there's a good chance we'll get some Jackson pizza.
On On!
Squishy, GM

Depending on the presence or absence of rain or snow, there might be less time among the trees and hills and more walking on the pavement. Since its already December, I cannot promise you too much skirtmeat. However, there will be beers and snacks all around.
So put on your mufflers, gloves, coats, and hats. Get on out there. If the weather is extra brutal after the run, we'll head to a nearby pub. See ya Saturday!

Remember, remember, the 5th of November,
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason
Why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, 'twas his intent
To blow up the King and the Parliament
Three score barrels of powder below
Poor old England to overthrow
By God's providence he was catch'd
With a dark lantern and burning match
Holler boys, holler boys, let the bells ring
Holler boys, holler boys
God save the King!
Guy Fawkes Night, also known as Guy Fawkes Day, Bonfire Night, and Fireworks Night, is an annual commemoration observed on 5 November, primarily in Great Britain, involving bonfires and fireworks displays. Its history begins with the events of 5 November 1605 O.S., when Guy Fawkes, a member of the Gunpowder Plot, was arrested while guarding explosives the plotters had placed beneath the House of Lords.
So EM Blank Space will take the Hash to the Double Pagodo which is there anymore. And no, the Hash didn't burn it down. Blank will take the pack up and down hills, valleys, and dusty trails. Who knows, there maybe will be some fireworks or a Bonfire!

On this day in 1969, Apollo 11 astronauts were launched into space on a Saturn 5 rocket launched from Cape Kennedy at 9:32 a.m. hoping to be the first men to land on the moon. The crew consisted of Neil Armstrong (Commander), Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin (Lunar Module Pilot), and Michael Collins (Command Module Pilot). It's estimated more than a million people watched the launch at Cape Kennedy in Florida.
To remember this day in 69, one of the Hash's favorite numbers. Bloodfish will be giving the Hash a blast into the hills and woods around Namtaeryeong and the Double Pagoda which like the Apollo 11 rockets has long since burnt up into debris.

From Osan/ Pyeongtaek etc, get on a Line No. 1 train bound for Seoul and transfer to Line No. 4 at Geumjeong Station. Get on a train bound for Danggogae and stay on it for nine stops. At the ninth stop, which is Namtaeryeong, get off and surface at Exit 2. Follow chalk arrows and "SH3" for fifteen minutes and turn left down a gravel road, next to a big stone sign, to the Double Pagoda.
By Car from Seoul:
Coming in from the north, from Namtaeryeong Station keep right of the underpass toward Seoul (Yangjae) Government, Gwacheon Government Building, Gwacheon City Hall. Keep straight until you come to the huge intersection, do a U-turn there and go back the way you came for 1200m. You will see a big stone sign and a narrow gravel road on your right just before you get to the crosswalk and the "Welcome to Seoul" sign. Turn right into that gravel road for some instant parking. The onsite will be on your right beside the Double Pagoda.

As it is going to be a beautiful humid Saturday, the HonSec has decided to give the Hash a lovely trail around Jichuk and the surrounding hills and by the end you shall be sweaty like the hare Hymen who is normally dripping with sweat on his run in this lovely location.
Will there be shiggy? Probably.
Skirt meat? Maybe.
Yoga pants? Probably
Beer? Yes. And it will be cold.
Get on the subway and head to Jichuk station on line 3. The Hash Orange line. Get on the subway heading to Daehwa station. If it stops at Gapabal get off and wait for the next subway which should be heading to Daehwa.
If you at driving, put Jichuk station in your GPS and follow it. Parking is on the street so you will need to find it.
If you are lost call Hymen on 010 4244 1928.

Greetings Half-Minds and Wanks,
This is a tale of two negatives. For both of them, the "experts" said it wouldn't be serious, and that it would be completed very quickly, definitely not months or years. The first one, you might have guessed, is COVID. I hope that you and yours have stayed safe during the last few years.
The second one is Russia's War in Ukraine. Putin got a bit excited on his rewatch of Seinfeld Season 6 Episode 12 on Netflix, agreeing with Kramer that "it's the time to put the hurt on Ukraine" back in February. Well, Ukraine has been fighting back and not putting up with any of Russia's shit. Strong though they might be, they do need some assistance.
As such, Seoul Men's Hash is doing a fundraiser at our regular time this Saturday at 1600. Additionally, and it's been a minute since we've done this, this is going to be a family affair, bring along your significant udders. There will be a raffle with prizes, and we're working with someone who is active in providing on-the-ground support to both civilians and Ukrainian soldiers.
On On!

Dearest half-minds and degenerates in orange,
October is unfortunately coming to a close. October is the perfect hashing month. Why, you ask? Because it has so much BOOze! Our very own Hash Hooch is going to make a trail at the spooky on-on site of Dongjak, aka the National Cemetery. Will there be ghosts and/or zombies on trail? Who knows? Will there be ghosts and zombies at the on-after? Very likely. Also some squares, circles, and triangles for some goddamn reason.
Because it's All Hallow's Eve, if you're gonna join feel free to put on those kitty ears, Pikachu butt plug, or non-Seoul Hab as a costume, The hare promises many tricks on trail, but also being hooch, treats at the end.

My dearest half-minds and wanks,
Not to be confused with our GM the one and only Merchant Wanker.
This coming weekend is a great event for half of the standing Cummittee, and a grave event for the other half. Well, two of them at least. I'm not sure of the involvement of India and Australia in the Revolutionary War. But the difference is that America made the biggest cuppa tea (albeit a tad on the salty side) in history and got themselves uninvited from the commonwealth games. Polluting the seas since before voting was a thing to be old enough for!
Dual citizenship Squishy is going to make an all-American trail out of Express Bus Terminal Exit 5. It's an On-On Site we've been to before, but we'll be going a different direction this time. Grub will *hopefully* be brats, as in sausages, not shitty children. Cum on out to either celebrate American independence, or bemoan their impudence.
And if I have my way (I probably won't) everybody's song will be Yankee Doodle!
On On!
Squishy, Hooch
Happy Tuesday you half-minds,
I'm excited to inform you that this Saturday, June 19th, Seoul Hash will have it's annual GM Changeover *un. As is tradition, the EMs will hopefully attend in order to give the next GM and his cummittee their blessing. The grub will be above par, schwag handed out, all before order devolves.

June 12th, 1987. On this date in history, President Reagan famously challenged Mikhail Gorbachev to TEAR DOWN THIS WALL. Referring, of course, to the Berlin Wall. Well, Joo Dog and I just happen to have seen a portion of the Berlin Wall today at the East Coast DMZ, as you can see in the picture. The museum there was drawing parallels between a divided Germany and a divided Korea. Very interesting!
Our very own EM Blank Space is going to make a fantastic trail out of a familiar but new spot.

The man, the myth, the legend Choopa Cabroan, esquire, will be making a fantastic trail out of Jije station. In the past for Hash Hell, PMS has made a concurrent event to entertain the fairer of the sexes. However, they have decided not to participate because of...you know. As such, the Seoul EMs have deigned it appropriate for this to be a family affair, so as not to deprive the ladies of the opportunity to become Iron Hashers.

Good evening you wanks in Orange,
Our very own GM Hymen is going to lead us on a trail of epic adventure. And for what reason? It's Saturday, of course. However, on this particular date in 1930, the very first stewardess crew (led by Ellen Church) manned a flight from Oakland to Chicago. Despite being run by United, it's unlikely that any Asian doctors were beaten up and dragged off the flight. This theme is brought by the fact that everyone in this email list wants to get on a flight and go somewhere else for a little bit.
Two pints of lager: They were stewardesses at the time, it wouldn't be historically accurate to say flight attendants. Additionally, though they were female, "manned" is the correct term. In a focus group of feminists in August 2020, it was unanimously agreed that "womanned" just ain't right. However, these same people attest to the phrase, "that takes ovaries!" in lieu of the more traditional "that takes balls" to mean requiring bravery of some level.

It is the time for the annual Bataan Memorial Death March, in memory of the tens of thousands of Allied soldiers forced to march across the Philippine islands during World War II. This year it's virtual, and Joo Dog invited his troops to join him, including a few of the fairer sex. As such, approval was sought to make a Family *un this weekend. Pack will meet at 1300 (NOTE THE TIME CHANGE) way down SOUTH at Yeongdeungpo Station exit 1. From there it will be a 14 mile beer walk through Seoul, which is freshly opened back up for military.
Side note for runners: This isn't a Flame trail. This will be a 14 mile beer walk with Joo Dog at the front making marks.

Hey you demanding bastards in orange,
I quit as HonSec. I've decided to take my pension and savings and move back to the Dominican Republic at the end of this contract in June. The good news is there's hashing there.
Also, April Fools! I *probably* won't do that this year. Let's see how the job hunt goes. All I know is I want to get the fuck out of Dongtan.
This week, our designated hare ASBO backed out with plenty of notice due to an opportunity to make some cash selling his body in his spare bedroom. Considerate bastard that one.
Two more hares stepped forward, in the form of two former GMs Choopa Cabroan and Joo Dog. Being part of the Southern Contingent of the Seoul Hash, they'll be making a trail South of Suwon at Sema Station, Exit 2. There's a sick mountain fortress assault that they'll likely take on, as well as a lot of other whatthefuckery they'll undoubtedly stumble upon.

This seasonally normal warming weather brings us to another weekend of hashing. As the (still British) hare ASBO informed me, Saturday marks 167 years since the founding of the Republican Party in the US to combat the spread of slavery, a decade after some Caribbean island nations had already abolished it.
Our Hash Hooch will be making a trail at a location which can not be pronounced. Looking at the map, it offers many options for trails, including river walks, urban, and the pack's favorite, mountains. So head on up to...near Gimpo, anyway...and see what the hare has in store for you!

On March 13th, 1781, the planet Uranus was discovered by a British gent named William Herschel. Here are some facts about Uranus:
Uranus is the third largest planet in the solar system.
Uranus is named after Zeus' grandfather, the sky god.
It takes Uranus 84 years to make its slog around the sun. Not exactly zooming.
Uranus is so big it has 27 moons in its orbit, including one named "Puck".
Everybody's been dealing with lockdowns, restrictions, and other bovine feces. But the Seoul Hash hasn't quit! If you're able to get uranus to Seoul, then just say puck it and get there! EM Blank Space has scouted a very apt on-site in a park near a bridge and across the street from a Trump property. Did you know: all of those Uranus facts are also applicable to the Don's Anus. Except the moon thing, he only has 5 children, and unlike the Lannisters, he doesn't puck with family. Probably. (Game of Thrones joke: Let's push these twins together and make a king!)

On the day of Seoul Hash this week in 1964, heavyweight boxing champion Cassius Clay decided to stop nerd-naming himself and officially changed his name to Muhammad Ali. That's a pretty good reason to go out and hash, right?
Recently out of quarantine after returning from SOCAL, Choopa Cabroan, Esq. is chomping at the bit to make an epic trail. I saw him last Sunday, and he is in rare form. Stomping up those steep verticals like an 80 year old ajossi, he left me in his dust. Haring from his own backyard, this trail is definitely well-recced and will give particularly great view.

Fun Fact: the 18th amendment, under which alcohol production and sales were prohibited, was repealed on February 20th 1933. First of all, prohibition seems like such a terrible idea that it only could have come about during a bender. Second, the Hash would be very different without alcohol. Sure, we are able to select our beverages of choice, but I think even tea-drinkers enjoy watching the hijinks of those who choose something a bit more potent.
Joo Dog and Sleeping with the Bloodfish will be laying a trail out of Pyeongtaek Station Exit 1. Restrictions have been eased somewhat, but gatherings indoors are still limited to no more than four. If the easings mean you're able to go out of the house, then cum join us on Saturday!

Dearest Half-Minds and Gentlemen in Orange,
This weekend's hash happens to be on February 13th, the anniversary of the day a few years back that Squishy entered the world. But Squishy doesn't have the honor of having a February birthday alone. Our very own EMs LeperCon and OB1, as well as HHIT, also have February birthdays. Probably more, but I can't remember everyone's birthday.
Missing EM LeperCon and OB1 on trail for the last few weeks, I arranged an on-on site that EM LeperCon is able to attend. Our classic troll site under the bridge at Oksu. However, the past few times we've gathered there, it has been getting fancier and fancier. Lots of statues and art going on down there for some reason.
So it'll be a pair of Toms for circle, hopefully joined by one or two other hashers. We're still restricted to no more than 4, so if you're planning on cumming, let someone know. But the end of 2.5 is in sight - it's set to be dropped right after this weekend's Lunar New Year celebration.

Our very own GM Hymen is going to lay a fine trail from our standard on-on site at Nambu Bus Terminal. You know the one. The one where Kiwi, yeah, you know the one. It just struck me, however, that Nambu is on the ORANGE line, and all my shirts are ORANGE, so...it must have been intentional on the GM's part. Will he take the pack all the way up what I call the Stairway to Heaven? Or let them meander through the streets of Yangjae one stop over, or perhaps a jaunt through the teacher university one stop up? The only way to find out is to attend.
We're still at restrictions of groups of 5 or more. So reach out to myself or the GM if you're planning on joining, just so that Seoul Hash can follow the letter of the law.

Happy Thursday Gentlemen and Half-Minds in Orange,
Level 2.5 Restrictions have been extended for two weeks, with some exceptions. People can go to gyms, and children can attend their cram schools. Thank goodness for that. We're continuing to alternate between having runs in Seoul proper and South of Suwon for the ever-shrinking Southern Contingent, and this weekend it's going to be set in Dongtan New City. When I told EM Blank Space, who famously knows everything about the land of the rising cum, that I'd moved to Dongtan, his exact words were, ahem, "Where the fuck is Dongtan?"
I, Squishy, shall lay a trail of two cities. The first will be a jaunt around the neighborhood in which my employer deigned appropriate for someone to habitate, called "Dongtan Industrial Complex." The second will be around what is probably going to be a very lively and well-populated area in two decades, but right now is just a series of empty high-rise apartments and a few eateries.
Still being capped at gatherings of 4, here's the roster. Squishy, Hooch ASBO, and Sleeping With the Bloodfish as a maybe. That leaves one open spot!

My Dear Half-Minds and Wanks in Orange,
Apologies for the late post. This cold snap has had me distracted.
Our great friend Choopa Cabroan has decided to follow tradition, as is tradition, and head back to California to see his family. Upon his return to one of the two best Koreas, he'll have to endure two weeks of quarantine, hence the picture and his haring this week's trail.
With Restrictions still at Level 2.5, we're still limited to 4 people. So the Southern Contingent of the Seoul Hash will be meeting up at Choopa's place, AKA the Crack House. With the weather forecast what it is, we're going to do trail, have a short circle in his parking lot, and then thaw out inside. Fortunately, this means that splash isn't going to be frozen when the pack returns.
Stay safe folks, and stay on the correct side of whatever restrictions there are in your area.

Happy New Year you hoodlums,
As twenty plenty comes to a close, the Seoul Hash continues. This weekend, EM Blank Space and ASBO plan to make the best trail of the year, which shall be seen by few, at least at the proper time. As is tradition for the first trail of the year, they shall be laying a trail at Seoul Racecourse Park, the horse racetrack facility in Seoul. The question is: will ASBO live up to Blank's expectations of a co-hare? The bar is set high, as his expectations were set by EM UltraMan.
Given the current ROK guidance on no group gatherings of 5 or more, there will be EM Blank Space, ASBO, Squishy, and possibly one more in circle on Saturday. If you would like to attend, please contact a cummittee member post haste.
With that said, let me wax poetic. May the new year bring you much joy, low stress, good job prospects, a vision for the future, and willing partners who don't sue you for bullshit reasons. May you get rid of the unwanted and unneeded in my *your life so that each day brings you less stress. May you find an agreeable neighborhood to live in, which has all the amenities you desire within walking distance. Like a gym, restaurant, or a fucking grocery store.

To the Gentlemen of the Seoul Hash,
Just kidding. Listen up ya half-minds in orange!
This week's trail is in memory of the Hong Kong that once was. The sad happenings in Hong Kong since June 9th, 2019 (I remember that because I had a flight back to Seoul from HK that day...glad I didn't get trapped) all had their roots in an agreement between the British and Chinese governments made on December 19th, 1984. In a nutshell, the Brits agreed to give HK back to China in 1997 as long as HK could exist as a capitalist economy and government. Till 2050 or something like that. And with this arrangement, the Seoul Hash, under the leadership of EM Farty Breath, began the tradition of invading HK every year during the Rugby Sevens. EM Blank Space was a loyal attendee of the HK Sevens Invasion, as well as having business dealings there.
However, those days are over, and for once it's not completely thanks to covid-19. China decided that 2050 agreement was too distant last year, resulting in months of protest. To make a long story short (too late), for political reasons, our military Seoul Hash brothers will not be able to go to HK for the sevens, as it is kinda now East China. (I fully expect Blank Space to fact check this...if he's read this far).

From the Hare:
(Image is of Hugh Grant showing as much backbone as he ever has, not sure if it'll go through)

Bastard Brethren,
Hugh Grant's voice double and all round Englishman, Longfellow is bound for permanent/ temporary exile on the paradise island of Jeju. But he won't be alone; he'll have his loyal hound and lovely missus to keep him company. Once he's gone, though, you may come to remember him as a master hare, the plucky Hon Sec, the battle-hardened GM, the idle JM, the guy who believed there was good in Squishy in Hong Kong... or that posh bloke who got lost on the Nth some years ago. Will he drunkenly drag the dormant kennel of Jeju H3 out of hibernation with the help of some inebriated aides? Time will tell...
But enough self-indulgence! Let's celebrate his on-out in style with a barbecue, kindly accommodated by Merchant Wanker, meat and beer kindly provided by the Hooch and a farewell trail marked by Longfellow himself. Remember, if Helen Keller could see those marks, so can you...
And if you find yourself missing Longfellow, those flights to Jeju are cheap and plentiful...and don't require a two-week quarantine...
And if you or he can't be bothered to do that...he may well be back in the spring...watch this space....
On On!
Longfellow
From Merchant Wanker, the host:
Never trust the British to ever make a clean exit. Brexit, which is turning out to be a messy cliffhanger divorce from the European Union, was not the first - and surely not the last - British attempt at trying to move out. Over 70 years ago, Britain bid goodbye to the Indian Sub Continent, leaving behind two partitioned countries (which further disintegrated into 3), and a horrendous bloodbath, which they conveniently blamed on the natives. Given this experience (or lack thereof) of leaving gracefully, it is now upto the once colonial subject to show the way a true departure should be done. So - welcome to India House as we ensure that Longfellow does leave - and leaves in style!

Line 6 is extremely central and accessible for any weary traveller to find. Gongdeok and Samgakji Stations are major transfer hubs that connect to Line 6. Noksapyeong Station is one stop away from Samgakji and three stops away from Gongdeok. Get off at Noksapyeong Station and surface at Exit 1. Follow "SH3" and half-arrows from that exit, cross a bridge, climb some steps and make your way through a series of inclining streets, passing Itaewon Children's Playground Park and Itaewon Bugundang History Park on either side of you. Once you've passed those parks, take the third right onto Hwinamuro 44gil NOT HWINAMURO 44GAGIL. Walk along it until you see a large gate, two garages and the Indian flag on your left. You'll have made it to India House. Any problems call the hare on 010-9397-6199.

Happy Thursday you half-minds,
After a successful Nth *un, two of our EMs have volunteered to make the best trail of the week. It has me personally curious of what feats of haring-do will be on trail! And it just so happens that this run falls on the date in 2004 when Trump Casino filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. I'm only highlighting this to remind people that the current POTUS has a history of bad decision-making.
A little birdie also told me that there might be some on-outs this weekend. Cum wish these lads well in their future travels! Another thing that's possible - we haven't had a hat trick of EMs at circle in a while. Will EM OB make that happen?

Our very own Hash Hooch, the British Baseball Beholder Extraordinaire ASBO, is thrilled to have his team the LG Twins as the Wild Card team in the semi-playoffs. They lost the first game Wednesday night, but if they pull out the big W on Thursday, there's going to be a 2pm Saturday game. This had our Hareline in jeaopardy, as ASBO was set to lay a trail. However, he ingeniously found a way to hare his trail and eat his cheerleaders too, at the expense of not being there for circle.

Other kennels have shown their haring skills, and this Saturday is our turn to show those OB lads what Seoul is made of. Our very own GM Hymen is going to make a brilliant birthday bruhaha at the Northernmost reaches of where OB can go. Hopefully Joo Dog can keep him outside of the restricted area.

Good afternoon and Happy Chuseok Gentlemen in Orange,
NOTE THE TIME: 1500/3PM!
It has finally come. Hashathon is upon us. As such, we'll be joining our brothers (and sisters) in blue and yellow for their Hashathon trail. And while I was previously promised they'd forgone the banana thing, I did witness it last weekend when I was ambassadoring. In their defense, they'd been doing virtual trails for three weeks and CatPiss was just very excited to see everyone again. Even if they do do it, it's optional, so don't let that scare you. Rather, let the cold beer and cool Chuseok temperatures bring you down to Songtan station for the best-marked trail of...the...afternoon? Let's go with that, since it's not the first trail of the month or even the day.
Special instructions: This is a Disney-themed trail, so get creative and wear something Disney-related. PS: Marvel, LucasFilm (Star Wars and Indiana Jones), and Alien/Predator are all Disney now. Leia and Black Widow are Disney Princesses. Process that for a moment.

That's a fine choice if you want to do that, but just be aware. Additionally, if you catch the express train, you'll get South faster, but you'll have to get off at some point and wait for an all-stop.

Dear Gentlemen In Orange,
Our Hash Horn, Merchant Wanker, has opened up his residence (well, probably just the yard) to us for this week's upcoming run. And considering where he lives, we're starting, finishing, and holding circle on foreign soil. Cum on out to this week's Seoul hash to get what's likely to be the most international travel you'll have this year. Also the GM has promised to bring a 9% beer or four.
I would like to issue a personal apology to EM Blank Space for last week's trail. He laid, hands-down, the best-marked trail of the entire week in ALL of Seoul/Gyeonggi area, just to have no one turn up. The wedding crew was there in spirit, EM, but we were in Busan in the flesh. However, there was a hare, there was a trail, and the Seoul Hash continues its uninterrupted streak of weekly trails. Thank you, EM Blank Space. (If you don't believe me about the best-marked trail, shoot me a message and I'll tell you why it's irrefutable.)

By Hired Coach:
The Hare and Host emphasizes that Google Maps doesn't navigate to this address and Apple Maps just doesn't know where it is. So the best bet is to use Naver or Kakao Maps. Plug in the address "Seoul Yongsan-Gu, Hoenamu-ro, 44 Gil, #133" and show that map to the taxi driver. Note that the actual address of India House is #138, but that the apps will put you on the wrong road with no entrance if you take that.
Additional Info: India House is quite close to the Hyatt, so if you were to get yourself there and then follow your map app guidance, you'd be able to get there easily.

The best of our hares find themselves on lockdown again after groups of those who say that God is everywhere lost His phone number and had to go to the source to get it again started another outbreak. However, as I, Squishy, had resigned myself to my fate of haring alone, our wise EM Blank Space suggested we visit his weekday stomping grounds and bring the pack there. Co-haring is always preferable to haring solo, and the pack is well familiar with the Yangjae area by now, so I welcomed the suggestion!

My Dear Fellow Men In Orange,
My IT department is suffering a setback at the moment due to my mobile phone being rained on substantially on Sunday. The good news: it's showing signs of life, sitting on the charger at home. I should be back on social media tonight. However, until then I'm at the mercy of the WiFi around me, using an old phone with broken screen.
Nevertheless, hash details. 8/8/08 was the date of the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. This year, the world is being challenged by China in many ways: pandemic, economy, even political. So let's gather at the Korean Olympic Park and ponder how China is and has affected the world around us.
Short walk to the on-site.
On On!

August is shortly upon us. With that, fairer maydens, longer dicks, shorter flirt times. What the fuck am I talking about? August, originally kown as Sextilis by the ancient Romans, was renamed after Caesar came, saw, and conquered. Someone remind me of that during circle, I've got a relevant joke.
And I just killed a bird of a mosquito on my monitor. That'll be fun to clean up, but at least it won't be biting my ankles while I sleep!
Alright, let's get this shit started already! EM Blank Space has deigned us worthy of one of his trails this weekend. However, out of form for him, he has chosen a different on-site than usual! Bravo, Blank! We'll be meeting at Beottigogage Station Exit 1. You should prepare snacks for this grueling trail, as well as swim trunks and a waterproof bag for the possible Han River crossing.

It is only 2 stops from Itaewon Station. Hashers should come out of exit one. They will do a 180 U Turn, walk up 30 yards to the side street just above exit one and head up that street 300 yards to the on-on site. It will be marked from exit one. Those arriving by car from the Hannam-Itaewon area have to drive past the Beottigogae station and do a legal U turn, and then come back to the station and turn right just past exit 1, and head up that side street 300 yards to the site. There is a parking lot there that charges for parking or they can try to park on the side street itself. Cheers, Hank.

Dear Half-Minds in Orange,
The time has finally come! Neither heat nor humidity nor gloom of corona stays these hashers from their appointed cycling foray to Chuncheon, the city of spicy chicken (dalkgalbi). Also I think there's an island there you can visit, but who cares because CHICKEN!
However, to make sure no one pulls any muscles, Squishy's going to lay a moderate trail out of Yangjae. It's that same on-site we used a few months ago, right behind the McDonald's. Much like the bike ride itself, there'll be mountains, some city, plenty of opportunities to hydrate, and you'll be able to go at your own pace.

My Fellow Half-Minds and Gentlemen in Orange,
Our hare for this week Bare Shitter has waxed poetic and written his fond farewell in the form of a run announcement. Please see below.
On On!
Squishy, HonSec
Dear Bastards,
My time has cum to an end; this week I'll lay a trail of epic proportions for my fellow Wankers in Orange on what will be my last SH3 hash. It's been a great *un but I must retreat to the moonshine hills of Tennessee to retire from the Army and start my new life's pursuit with the United States Forest Service "goin' Hoggin' and gettin' some Beaver" (fancy way of saying Animal Control Officer). During my recent sabbatical I also got my Firefighter Type II - Wildland qualification, and while scouting this week's trail I stumbled upon about a 10-15 acre area (4-6 hectare, if Hymen prefers) of charred forest on the mountainside, which you will see on trail. I will ensure a beverage of sorts will be in this area; please take a moment and have a drink in memory of the 19 men of the Granite Mountain Hotshot Crew that died during the Yarnell Hill Fire in Arizona 7 years ago. (Only the Brave)
In addition I'll take you on-up a mountain (who would have guessed that?); on-along rivers; on-through a stream, boneyard, a building and shiggy; on-down an alley, a valley, a street, and stairs; on-over sand, rocks and fences, on-across roads and bridges.... heck, I may even take you on-around a university campus so our GM can try to catch a glance of Sheila's fanny as a stiff breeze upends her skirt.
It's been a great several months! Realizing some of you may not be in attendance, I'd like to shoot a special thanks to ASBO; if not for meeting him at a Twins game at Jamsil there would be no Bare Shitter before you today. And to the Seoul Hash; all hairy chested lads that love to drink and run, even eating chicken while drinking is fun. Into an inebriated state of time travel, until at last you wake up to a wife who will gravel. Laying on a floor in vomit and piss, rummaging through an icebox for the beer you miss. Bruised and bleeding without communication, "where's my clothes, was there fornication?" In someone else's shoes through puddles you splatter, barely stepping in your own fecal matter! From Paju to Humphreys and all in between, the hashers in orange you have surly seen.
I'll truly miss these glorious times!

My dear fellow half-minds and gentlemen in orange, and to those who have gone on-on to the eternal false trail before us,
As you all know, we lost our dear mentor, leader, spirit animal, and brother EM Ultraman a couple of weeks ago. The man had made and rebirthed many traditions, including but not limited to the SH3 Hong Kong Rugby 7s invasion, the Chuncheon bike ride for spicy chicken, and Wednesday chicken and beer. His absence has been felt, and as this week's hare HHIT put it, the inevitable rebalancing toward entropy after the loss of this man's influence toward the positive shall be massive.
While one of the three traditions previously mentioned is no longer a viable option due to the geopolitical and pandemic state of the world, we at the Seoul Hash are doing our utmost to keep the other two going. While we may not be able to visit Hong Kong for rugby and Carlsberg anymore, the pack WILL have its chicken! By hook or by crook, as Ultraman used to say.
This Saturday, join the pack as we have a trail hated by our weekly presumptive wingy HHIT and one of our EMs. It should prove to be a trail that Ultraman, the only one who truly completed this one's surprise 18kish ballbuster, would be proud of. The former ultra marathon runner, from which he got his name, loved a grueling hash trail.
Given the current situation, we chose a site Ultra had used on the airport line, outside of military restrictions. Come honor this legend of you're on Pen.

Dear Fellow Half-Minds and Recovering Hangovees,
I still haven't gotten my IT department sorted, but decided it was about time that I got my shit together and took up my HonSec duties again. As such, here's what the new GM has written about his trail this coming weekend, June 20th AT 4PM!
NOTE THE TIME CHANGE!!! 1600/4PM! Not that 1600 is necessary cuz it's in Area II. Hey, could we become the Area II SH3? No, no, that's a step in the wrong direction.
On On!
Squishy, HonSec
Here are the run details.
Remember Trail Starts at bold large type 1600 or 4pm. (The CMS I'm using tells me html syntax isn't allowed here, but words are, right? I want to get the feeling of his message conveyed correctly.)
AS the new GM of the Seoul Hash, I thought I should be setting expectations when it comes to marking trail and like all good leaders, I have decided to lead by example. So Hymen your GM will be Haring this week.
So what should you expect from the trail? You will see markings that are familiar and some shiggy and urban landscapes. Maybe even some skirt meat, I can't promise you that. Will it be long? My wife hopes so, but no, probably not. Will it be short? Yes, but not the run. It will be just right.
Will there be beer? Yes. Will it be cold? I hope so. (HonSec Comment - new Hooch this weekend, time to test his mettle.)

And now the end is near. This faded Grand Master's bedpan has (figuratively) run dry and the bells toll for the emergence of a salubrious successor. One who can take up the mantle and grant glory unto the forty-eighth year of the Seoul Hash House Harriers....
Sorry, what I mean to say is that it's the time of the Grand Master Changeover! This means a graceless gathering of old farts, running regulars, whimsical walkers and up-and-comers congregate under a motorway bridge in Suwon. There they will await the imminent announcement of the fifty-eighth Grand Master of the Seoul Hash House Harriers. Additionally, there will be a grand old fire (courtesy of Snake), some grand old Mexican food (courtesy of Choopa Cabroan), a hell of a lot of grand old beer (courtesy of Joo Dog) and a kick-ass trail courtesy of Grand Master Longfellow and some Aussie Hasher called Hymen.

Get your ass (or arse) to Yongsan/ Sindorim/ Guro/Gasan Digital Complex (one of those stations) and get a Sinchang-bound train. Make sure you don't get a Seodongtan-bound train or you'll have to change at Byeongjeom Station.

Run No. 2584
A rare mid-morning run
Bare Shitter possibly drink-driving and definitely drink-running
And an on-after like nothing before it
PRE-RUN
Oh, what a beautiful morning! The hares were on time and they'd wisely marked the trail sixteen hours ago and just as well. The trail was riddled with fuck-ups that had to be rectified the day before so had they been live-haring, their shorts would have been pulled down their legs and they'd have received a damn good thrashing once the pack had caught up with them.
Soon, a predictably small pack assembled at the onsite including the Hooch, Bare Shitter and affable newcomer, Justen No Name (but for how long). Despite Blank Space's absence, the horn was sounded at exactly ten of the clock, the newcomer was briefed on SH3 markings and it was packs away, hopefully back in time for elevenses. Ambassador Merchant Wanker turned up ten minutes later, complaining that he was not enough of a morning person to bother running. Or even drinking, for that matter.
THE RUN
As the GM, in the absence of the Hon. Sec and being the mystery hare (bum bum bum), had forgotten to assign some other poor sap to write up trash, he very generously takes it upon himself. From what the pack of three disclosed, there was very little to report. This was largely down to the fact that it was a very linear trail with one easily solvable checkpoint, a needless CB, a cool circular outdoor staircase, an A/D split that saved them from running in a dull, flat circle with marks faded from being in an actively used parking lot. Two thirds of the pack made it in in just under forty-five minutes followed by Snake shortly after.
THE CIRCLE
HARES
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have started to gradually bring the germ-spreading bedpan back into circle again. The only revision being that the senior hare drinks out of it and only him every week until this madness ends.
A lot of praise was dumped on the hares for a particularly well-marked trail of 7ish kilometres. The only problem was that it didn't leave much to the imagination. Naturally the senior hare (not your humble mystery hare) received the brunt of the criticism.
WINGY
It was either Justen No Name or Bare Shitter. However, if you ask me, they on-inned simultaneously.
HASH SHIT/ DICK
ASBO, the senior hare, for marking trail in the opposite direction of Sindorim Station. It happens to be ripe with excellent opportunities for trail.
LEAVERS/ RETURNERS
Since no one wanted to be forced into a fortnight's quarantining, no leavers nor returners were announced.
FIRST-TIMERS
Justen No Name who had just emerged out of his crawl space after a fortnight's quarantine.
BEST SPLASH
Justen No Name told a lovely story about having to squat in public or something along those lines (possible Hash name; can you guess what it could be?). This inspired a joke about a drunkard who goes to the toilet and insist his balls were being squeezed whilst defecating. It turned out he was going in the mop bucket.
The On-After
Everyone (aside from Longfellow) crammed into Bare Shitter's car and headed down to the YBOK Wedding Hash. Lots of beer, champagne, wedding dresses and a typical disappearing act from our Hon. Sec, Squishy. But that's another story you should ask him.
Fellow Half-Minds,
Our generous GM has provided the rite-up this week, knowing I'd be busy packing. Cheers, Longfellow!
On On!
Squishy, HonSec
Stags of Seoul,
We have all the time in the world so, before Fake Gay "marries" Muppets down in Sungkyunwan on his On-Out this Saturday afternoon, wolf down your breakfast Wheaties with a splash of Hite and stagger on down to Guro Station for a rare mid-morning run at 10 of the clock. Anticipate a short run, a short circle, a spot of lunch and an express train down to Sungkyungwan for On-Afters.
Feel free to ask questions provided they aren't about raiding EM Blank Space's wardrobe.
On On!

Fellow Half-Minds,
The hare has been kind enough to include his own introduction. Please see the wise words from our EM LeperCon below.
On On!
Squishy, HonSec
Brother Bastards,
We return to Compassionate King Mountain (normally referred to as Inwangsan) on which (our Kinder & GentlerTM) LeperCon is resurfacing from his hideout, The Lair of the LeperCon. Weather cooperating, the trial will off a panoramic views of NW Seoul that should make the average Hasher swoon. If Saturday is a rainy day, our EM promises an alternate trail that should make the average Hasher curse his name. In either case, the trail will take runners through one of the neighborhood's where the movie 'Parasite' was filmed. Once again, Costco pizzas (and beer!) will be served, regardless of the weather.

1. Subway, Bus and Foot Option -
From Itaewon Station, get on the Line 6 (Brown Line) and go 3 stops to Yaksu; transfer to Line 3 (Orange Line) and go 6 stops to Gyeongbokgung Station; Come up for air at Exit 3, as you come out of the exit, walk about 200 meters to bus stop and take any 4-digit bus. Get off at Gyeonggi Commercial High School (Gyeonggi Sang-go), cross the street and switch back on the street opposite of where you got off. Go about 150 meters to the first street that has a small brick Chinese restaurant on the corner. Turn right and head on-on-up as far as you can go. You will come to massive gated entrance to the estate of the founder of Hyundai. At the gate, take a left and go as far you can go and after 250 meters to where you will find chalk marks taking you into the forest to the Lair of the LeperCon.
2. Rich Man's Taxi Option-
Same as Subway, Bus and Foot Option, but hail a cab, say "Jahamun Tunnel," but tell him "U-Turn!" when you see the large Brunei Embassy on your left at the traffic light, then take the first street on your right up the hill, keeping to the left. Commandeer your hired chariot as per the map and the above directions.

Fellow Drunks, Miscreants, Half-Minds, and Men In Orange,
Last weekend's trail was a smashing success. It went the way it should, with a sizeable pack, harriettes joining for the on-after, and people crashing others' spare bedrooms. Thanks again, Fake Gay, for letting me crash.
Weeks ago, a cabin-fevered Joo Dog sent me a message. Despite written word being so different from spoken, I could really feel his twitchiness and need to get out of the house. He wrote something like, "Hey, hey man...you got any opportunities to hash out of Sungkyunkwan? I really need some circle and swinging low...I'll do anything. You want me to hare your trail? I'll hare your trail so hard. Backwards even. I'll even bring some good splash, I know you've been missing the good splash." I might be paraphrasing, but we're bringing the pack to our favorite CCTV overloading on-on site neath a bridge at Sungkyunkwan University Station.
This *un has two special things about it. First of all, it is *un Number two thousand five hundred and eighty. How many meters in a mile? That's right, two thousand five hundred and eighty. (just let it happen...I'm committed. or maybe I should be committed. anyway, just go with it. I just realied my mistake.)
The second special thing is that the day of the email being sent is the Fifth of May. That's right, the day after May the Fourth be with you, aka Revenge of the Fifth. In Mexican, they call it Cinco de Mayo. Quick language class: that means the Fifth of May, a Mexican holiday which provides white sorority girls in the US an excuse to drink on a Tuesday. Taco Tuesday. Like they needed an excuse anyway.
So let's celebrate dyslexic math and poor choices by enjoying this beautiful weather and the return of the one. the only. Joint Master Joo Dog! IDK about y'all but I've missed that bastard.

From your post in Itaewon, hop on the train two stops west to Samgakji. Refrain form deboarding to visit Ms. Lee, and instead transfer to the light blue line #4 heading south. Stay on it for 17 stops, where at Geumjeong Station you'll transfer to the dark blue line #1 heading south. Any train will get you there be it express, super express, or all-stop. Disembark at Sungkyunkwan University Station, going to Exit 2 where you'll start seeing chalk half-arrows to the on-site. It's a ten minute or so walk to the on-site, so plan accordingly. We must strive for an on-time start.
By Personal Chariot:
You know how to get there Joo Dog. For any others driving, plug in Sungyunkwan Uni Station and let Jesus take the wheel 'cuz you've probably already started drinking.
If ya can't find the on-on site, call Joo Dog at 010-9244-6006 for clarification. Matter of fact, the guy needs some social interaction. Just go ahead and give him a call right now.

For Ambassadorial Residence Residents:
Step out your front door and start throwing rocks in different directions. When the rock sails in the direction of a large looming building with "Grand Hyatt" written on it, walk in that general direction.

My Dear Fellow Half-Minds,
This weekend brings us our much-anticipated St. George's Day Family Run. Our very own resident Brits GM Longfellow and Horn ASBO are going to mark a trail out of Bucheon Stadium Station, and we're even going to allow women on said trail! Here's what the hare has to say about it.
On On!
Squishy, Hon Sec
THE ST GEORGE'S DAY FAMILY RUN
WOMEN, CHILDREN AND DOGS WELCOME THIS WEEK ONLY
Happy Hashers and their Happy Families,
It's England's patron saint day coming up. So only the best of British can hare a family run to commemorate the noble dragon slayer. Unfortunately, for the Seoul Hash, that means a juvenile delinquent from Dorset (ASBO)and Longfellow, the first English Seoul HHH GM since British ambassador to North Korea, Colin Crooks in the nineties. So pack your strawberries and cream (ooh-er) and rugby club mentality and bring your mum, dad, nan, your wife and girlfriend, illegitimate kids and feral dogs. Gather beneath the Nude Viking outside Bucheon Stadium Station wearing a mask, keeping a respectable distance from others and trying your darnedest to resist drinking out of the bedpan (there will be cups, as there has been for weeks).
Bear in mind there will be a trail for walkers as well as runners. Both are of a moderate distance, to ensure we're all back in good time, and replete with beverage checks and some other fun stuff to please all parties. As some are quarantined and others are not, Choopa will not be providing Mexican food but the hares will provide the finest staple of English food: san-DWICHES. And probably some beer.
ON-BLOODY-ON!

My Dear Merry Half-Minds,
The Seoul Hash House Harriers doesn't quit. There will be a trail this weekend, hared by none other than our esteemed EM Blank Space, who will be taking us to the classic on-on site of Dongjak Station, adjacent to the Seoul National Cemetery. The reason for this is to commemorate the April 19th beginning of the American Revolutionary War or, as our more Commonwealthy members know it, the War Of American Aggression. Huh...I can't seem to back that up on Google, which says the Brits call it the American War of Independence. Regardless, it started on April 19th, and the 18th is "close enough to celebrate."
A little bit of business as the hare-raiser. May is looking quite sparse for hares. There are lots of themed opportunities in May, like sinko-de-mayo, the Mexican public day of mourning for when their much-needed delivery of mayonaise was lost aboard the Titanic. So if you're up for haring in May, send me some smoke signals, email, whatsapp, kakao, etc.

D'ERECTIONS:
From the mouth of the hare:
The Hash run will use the on-on site at the small park adjacent to Dongjak Station, and the station can be reached on line #4 or Line #9. Hashers coming to Dongjak station on line #4 should use exit two, and should use the footbridge cross over to the park to the on-on site in the park. Hashers arriving on line #9 should take exit 5, which will bring them to the park, directly in from of the pavilion that will be the on-on site. There will be marks to the park from exit 2 for hashers arriving on line #4. Those arriving via line #9 should just use exit 5 and will arrive at the site when they reach the street level.
For those of you wishing to go directly there, trust me, Exit 5 is literally right there. And there's parking adjacent, though you do need to pay for that. However, there's always the option of contacting the hare directly at 010-7152-6362.

My dear fellow half-minds in orange,
These are strange times we're in. Lesser running clubs on pen have decided to forego their planned trails in order to promote social distancing, a term that didn't fucking exist two weeks ago. Well, as the picture above demonstrates, circle is just social distancing beers. And it's not like we run trail while licking each other's taints, pack on trail is also practicing social distancing. Seoul Hash is having a trail this weekend.
Here's the deal. There sadly are no soccer games or baseball games you can spend your free time doing. You could do indoor activities or join a virtual trail (yawn). While those virtual boob checks sound interesting, much more interesting would be practicing social distancing while running and getting a great view of Western Seoul. And in order to promote social distancing away from those corona-covered local bears, the hare has informed me that he'll be taking the pack off the beaten path. You read it here: BRING SHIGGY SOCKS.
Seoul Hash is a benevolent group with a spot in its heart for those in need...of trail & beer. As such, this weekend's trail is announced as a Family Run. That's right, those of the fairer sex who aren't quarantined on base are welcome to join us for responsible social distancing. If anyone is feeling cabin fever on Saturday, you'll be welcomed to the Seoul Hash with an open hat for hash cash. Can't have anyone hugging in these crazy times after all.

**SH3 CUMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES BELOW**
Attendees: EM Blank Space, GM Longfellow, Hooch Just Call Me Snake, Horn ASBO, and HonSec Squishy.
The meeting commenced at 2pm as scheduled, with EM Blank Space taking his seat after ordering hot beverages.
The first point of order was the already EM-approved April 25th St. George's Day Family Run. We discussed whether we should go ahead with it considering troops being stuck on base. It was decided that it would go forward, and we also took EM LeperCon's emailed suggestion to make it an Orange Dress Run (red dresses allowed).
Next we discussed the GM Changeover. Due to unknown future circumstances, Squishy and Snake deferred becoming GM for this coming year. Thus it was decided returning member Cherry Hymen would be the next GM. The changeover date was set for June 13th. EM Blank Space told us of a forgotten song "Hail To The GM" that gets sung at the changeover as one of the lost traditions.
Hash cash was discussed, wondering if it should be increased to 15,000 won. The biggest concern was about making change, and thus it was decided that we shall stay with 10,000 for everyone, and those who drink more beer can voluntarily contribute more.
The next pint of lager was lost traditions and possibly making new ones. GM Longfellow described what some HK and Japan hashes do, called down-downs. It is apparently a pack member, when called up during circle, telling a tale from trail and the hijinks of a certain member that day, and giving that person the splash. It was pointed out that the person then wouldn't drink their own splash. Longfellow said that it wasn't necessary to give the splash, at which it was pointed out that that's how circles are already run. So nothing changed.
The final pint of lager was joining other hashes. Considering other hashes will join us on April 25th, we decided to join OB on April 11th. The best way to do this, it was decided, was to have an early SH3 trail followed by pack travel down south.
The meeting was adjourned at 2:40 and the pack made their ways to the on-on site.
During the on-after, standard trail length was discussed. Moving forward, we recommend having 6-8k trails (one hour plus or minus fifteen minutes). If a hare wants to have a longer trail, aka a ballbuster, the hare should inform the HonSec and the trail will be advertised as such.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
On On!
Squishy, HonSec
Dear Fellow Half-Minds and Brothers In Orange,
Having been restricted to his direct neighborhood by higher powers, EM Blank Space will still be able to mark a trail this weekend, albeit in familiar surroundings. He's bringing us back to Ichon Station, in front of the National Museum, with access to the stunning views from the Han River Park, as well as some opportunities to gain altitude.
And while trail will begin at the regular time of 1500 / 3pm, the Seoul Hash House Harriers Cummittee Meeting, rescheduled from March 1st, will take place before the pack goes on-on trail. Whether you've got a current Cummittee hat or not, if you have something to say regarding the future of the Seoul Hash, please join us at 1400 / 2pm at Ichon Station Exit 3-1,

Dear Half-Minds and Drunks In Orange,
Weeks ago, our tireless Joint Master Joo Dog bravely volunteered to hare this upcoming weekend, but little did he know that Uncle Sam was going to restrict him from leaving Pyeongtaek due to the Kung Flu. However, he assures me that he has a contingency plan made so that there will be a trail this weekend, in the GSMA, as we are the SEOUL H3 and not the Pyeongtaek H3. Let's see what magic he produces this weekend at our classic run site Hyochang Park.

Dear Gentlemen In Orange,
Your on-pen contingent of men from the fly-over state of Wyoming are pairing up to celebrate all February birthdays. And we do this on none other than the day that only happens once every four years, February 29th! And for this trail we have chosen an area that reminds us so fondly of our stomping grounds at the one and only real U-Dub, the University of Wyoming. These gentle rolling boulders provide no end of enjoyment and activity. Walking, hiking, camping, and bouldering (like climbing but no ropes) are all possible.

Dear Fellow Half-Minds and Drunks,
This week Bare Shitter is haring his first solo trail. He's found a new favorite hill which he would like to share with the pack. Here's what he has to say about it.
In true bare fashion this trail will go alongside streams stocked with Salmon and wilderness filled with wild berries. As bares do, it may venture into town a bit; just be sure not to rummage through garbage bins or go swimming in a backyard pool. Recommend bringing a light source and a .44mag, just in case you run into a bare.

Fellow Half-Minds and Brothers In Orange,
After successfully avoiding catching the Wuhan Kung Flu last weekend, the pack will reorganize again this weekend at Gaehwasan Station on February 15th. That's right, after putting in untold resources and effort to make all our better halves happy this Valentine's day, just one day after we're putting it all on the line to go out to the hash again. And the cycle continues.
I jest, I jest. ASBO is bringing the pack back to his neck of the woods for an exciting trail with multiple ups and downs, some shiggy no doubt, and possibly a straight and flat on one of Gimpo's runways. And the services of the hare are going above and beyond this week: Apparently there will also be provided warm space at his house for any rugrats you manage to bring. So on the way to the on-on site, make sure to grab a little one just so his offer doesn't go unused.

Dear Gentlemen and Half-Minds In Orange,
After a successful Family Run which, it was commented, resembled more of an open run, we look to the future with a return to normalcy and tradition. Fear not wise EMs, that means there will be no women at upcoming trails, as far as we can see.
However, while looking forward into the future, I took a glance in the rear view and realized we haven't seen our faithful brother Mockery, nerd name Bob, all year. Nor, indeed, for a lot of last year as well, after making an appearance at the wedding of HHIT. Therefore I'm dedicating this trail to him, and will guide all conversation to wild speculation of what has happened to him. Was he entranced by a succubus? Abducted by aliens for butt research? All possibilities will be reviewed. In a perfect world, Mockery himself will join us to regale us with stories aplenty of his adventures and misdeeds.

PRE-RUN
The second Hash of the year was promised to be a return to form following the shit show that had happened the week before. The EMs may grumble a lot but they are blessed with decades of haring experience. That would be put to the test today to see if they would continue the 2020 tradition of unmarked "taxi checks." The GM, having just arrived from braving a terrible trail laid by a Harriette on a lesser running club that very morning, had high hopes for a super-satisfyingly thirst-quenching run that would have you begging for hot food and cold beer to top it all off. Sadly the onsite was a bench on a hillside pathway with the National Museum in the foreground. No chance of a fire or parking space for our precious Bongo. Ah, well, there's always next week...
The hares arrived, with not a speck of flour on their persons, eight minutes before 1500. EM Blank Space demanded an on-time start and the demand was met. Joo Dog was called as last week's Wingy and the hares were called forward. Blank promised a distinct lack of poles, Slavs, Yugos and Ukrainians on trail. Not too hard since we're in the Far East (groan). Ultraman, who was looking fine and fit, said the trail was completely free of checkpoints. That would suit consistent runners perfectly. The bedpan was drunk from and it was Harriers away!
THE RUN
The pack would have to wait for the reintroduction of lost traditions until circle. This wasn't the case with our Hash Horn, ASBO. Not only had he brought the Horn on trail, he had it strapped around his person and he was blowing into it to let the pack know where he was on trail. Such a shame that he wasn't in front, however.
Everything was going swimmingly despite one of the hare's, who shall remain nameless (Blank Space), marking parts of the trail with "gay half-arrows" as HHIT delicately put it. A startling amount of rape dungeons (underpasses) were run through and we even went past a middle school. Blank Space had promised virgins on trail, though not so old. Ultraman, though, was as good as his word and the pack was not faced with a single checkpoint to annoy, confuse or condescend us. This proved fortuitous as we got back to the onsite in just under an hour. Probably the first time since American History Xcellence's 2.5 km hangover trail in 2017. The hares were congratulated as Blister and Longfellow sauntered in first. Not far behind us was the rest of the pack, with late arrival, HHIT, having joined them. That explained the discarded pair of jeans lying suspiciously close to the hares.
THE CIRCLE
. The Horn, who postponed the start of circle due to his being on the plop, sounded his horn (ooh-er) and Blank Space led us in a benediction.
HARES
Everyone decided that it was the best trail of the year. Was there really much competition? There may have been a distinct lack of makkeoli checks or Czechs of any kind. Even though there'd been the promise of no Poles, the first markings to be discovered wer on, well, poles. The controversial "gay half-arrows" was brought up but it being an EM run, but there had to be at least some.
WINGY
Mr. Blister was called forth as the Wingy. All that getting up twenty times a night to see to a baby must have improved his fitness levels.
HASH DICK
Poor Blister was brought up again for fooling his illustrious GM in to thinking that there was a reason to follow four pack arrows up a big hill. The GM, like a lamb to the slaughter, was led by the Wingy to discover a "CB4" marking. Mother fucker! He got what he deserved. The phallic object was lodged within his open fly and he drank deep from the bedpan for a second time.
HASH SHIT
The GM introduced some paraphernalia related to the HASH SHIT before he was called. The Hash Shit was now in the form of a toilet seat to be placed around the shit's neck. It was met with feeble applause and little interest. JM Joo Dog opined it would be a hindrance since the bedpan was already too big to fit in most bags. ASBO got Hash Shit for refusing to help promote next week's family run at a lesser running club that morning. He claimed he'd been getting his hair cut only for him to have just been playing Playstation all morning. Talk about mutiny!
LEAVERS/ RETURNERS
. EM Ultraman had returned to Seoul. He assured the GM he'd never be able to fly anything better than economy class so his gift came in the form of airline slippers and a sleeping mask. Just as well he's off to Cuba on Sunday.
. HHIT claimed to be on his way somewhere though we're not sure where. The GM was given two tall boys of Gentlemen's Lager. At 7.6 per cent it was certainly befitting a gentleman.
The On-After
We sang Way Down South and swung low before retiring in two taxis to Itaewon or New Gangnam, as Joo Dog cynically labeled it.
See ya at Hwajeon! On On!
Dear Drunks, Assholes, Half-Minds, and Brothers In Orange,
The bar has not been set too high for the best trail of the year yet. As such, our very own EMs Seoul Ultraman and Blank Space have taken it upon themselves to lay a trail of epic proportions. In their wisdom, and no doubt checking weather reports closer to the date, they decided to abandon the barren tundra of Racecourse Park and instead chose the cozy tree-shrouded on-site of Ichon Station. If they get brave, they might even light a fire!

Stay on that line over the Han, past Express Bus Terminal, even past Yangjae Station, all the way to Suseo Station. Get off the subway and search for fresh air at Exit 4 or 5, which are right next to each other. Follow chalk half-arrows into the apartment complex there, where you will see the hares smiling soberly at you in t-shirts and shorts.
By Speeding Phallus from Down South:
Good News! Suseo is one of the stops for that super fast train you take. Buy a ticket for Suseo, get off at Suseo, and find Exit 4 or 5 of the subway station. Then follow chalk half-arrows into the apartment complex there, where you will see the hares huddled in their long padding wishing the beer was warmer.

Gentlemen and Half Minds of the Seoul Hash,
Despite being provided with the write-up for this week's trail on Saturday, your trustworthy HonSec waited for Christmas day to send the update. So, without further ado, feast your eyes upon this week's blast.
On On and Merry Christmas!

After sleepless nights, cold sweats, buckets of blood and hankies stained with...um...tears, a hare has at last been found to see out the Year of the Pig this Saturday arvo. The hare is none other than our very own Grand Master. Being bereft of commitments (unlike everyone else) as his wife is away on business, Longfellow wishes to make the last Seoul Hash House Harriers trail of 2019 (not to mention the decade) his own. As well as mark it in as short a time as possible.
Congregate in a presumably disorderly manner at that playground park (Seokyo Children's Park) near Hapjeong Station. What with a terrifically marked trail and nearby access to toilet facilities, a convenience store and the "Thank You for Coming" bar for on-afters, absolutely nothing can go wrong. The trick is to stay as sober as possible.

By Train:
Hapjeong Station is but eight stations away from Itaewon Station on Beige Line 6. Get on a Bulgwang-bound train at Itaewon Station, wait for eight stops and then get off it at Hapjeong Station. Get out at Exit 2 and follow chalk half-arrows to Seokyo Children's Park.
By Train From Way Down South
Shoot up Blue Line 1 all the way to Sindorim Station. Transfer there for Green Line 2 and it's four stops to the north, on your way to City Hall Station.
If ya get lost, call Longfellow and ask him to teach you how to read braille. As has been said at least once of Longfellow's marks, "a blind man could follow your trail."

Fellow Half-Minds, Men in Orange, and Merry Gentlemen,
Despite failing his Rudolph impression down the stairs of Shenanigan's last weekend, our red-nosed Brit ASBO is prancing back up to show Eyes Only the haring ropes. This week's trail will be out of a pack favorite, Seoul Grand Park. In the past, hares have tried to circumnavigate the entire park, only to realize that it would be an accidental ball-buster. Will these two fools attempt the same?
For those who recently attended the 1000th event of a lesser running club at the same location, don't be shooed away by the place. I, Squishy, have very firmly told the senior hare to find a less cave-like on-site for circle than was experienced previously. Seoul Hashers can deal with the winter cold like champs, but that doesn't mean we have to give nature a 20-stroke handicap.
Also, please note that there is still an opportunity to hare in 2019 on December 28th. Who wants to take the title of Last SH3 Hare of the twenty teens? I'll have a bag tag made for you!
On On!

Follow marks to the on-site where you'll see the rosy-cheeked hares sipping hot schnocolate, most likely.

Fellow Half-Minds, Hashers, Men In Orange,
Seven weeks ago, our loyal Hash Hooch Just Call Me Snake laid a "really nice" trail in his home stomping grounds of Itaewon, but the pack was mostly all attending the GM's wedding in Busan, so only one EM Blank Space showed up but didn't even go on the trail. Therefore, with an offer by Hash Ambassador Merchant Wanker to host out of his residence, though unable to hare due to arriving back that afternoon, Snake agreed to make his really nice trail one more time. So make it up to him for missing his trail last time and get your ass to Itaewon this Saturday! One thing we know about trails out of the residence, the grub is above par for the Seoul Hash.

By Hired Coach:
The Host emphasizes that Google Maps doesn't navigate to this address and Apple Maps just doesn't know where it is. So the best bet is to use Naver or Kakao Maps. Plug in the address "Seoul Yongsan-Gu, Hoenamu-ro, 44 Gil, #133" and show that map to the taxi driver. Note that the actual address of India House is #138, but that the apps will put you on the wrong road with no entrance if you take that.
Additional Info: India House is quite close to the Hyatt, so if you were to hike to the colossus on the mountain and then follow your map app guidance, you'd be able to get there easily by foot.
For the confused, give the Host a call at +82-10-6667-9426.

This coming Saturday lands on December 7, and in memoriam of this date in 1941, the Seoul Hash is going to suddenly and deliberately invade Namhan Mountain Fortress. With rewarding view and multiple beverage checks, this is a trail not to be missed! Lug your ass out East to Macheon Station for the best marked Seoul Hash trail of the week if not even the month!

Fellow Half-Minds and Procurers of Orange Garments,
This coming Saturday we shall bid November adieu with pomp, circumstance, beer, and a trail! Creating this trail is none other than our very own GM, who is celebrating one more journey around the sun. He has chosen one of the most interesting on-sites for this event, Bucheon Stadium Station on Line 7. Last time we were there a not-so-sure man in a suit told us we couldn't be there, but wasn't sure. Perhaps he's used the interim time to check into whether or not we can or can't be there. Regardless, we're going to try!

**I'd like some feedback about the final section. Would you prefer Nudes or Cosplayer Of The Week?**
My dearest half-minds, drinkers, misogynists, and mathematicians,
This week's run date of 1123 as it is properly written in the Land Of The Free represents the first digits of value of the Fibonacci Sequence. Yes, we're all aware that 0 is the first digit, but that by definition has no value. We can see examples of the Fibonacci Sequence all throughout nature, from conch shells to busty babes flipping their wet hair, as demonstrated above for your viewing pleasure.
EM Blank Space is going to take you on a trail of wonder out of his favorite spot at Oksu Station, leading you past hundreds of examples of the Fibonacci Sequence as you make your way along. However, these examples will conveniently not be labeled by the hare, as finding them for yourself builds character. More importantly, we have 5 days to calculate and surmise what changes will inevitably have been made at our On-Site. The place keeps getting weirder every time we run out of there. So come Saturday, grab a sweater and a hot pack and get to Oksu by 3pm for a hell of a mathematical trail!

Fellow Half-Minds and Gentlemen In Orange,
Last week EM Seoul Ultraman celebrated another loop around the sun. As is said in Dae Han Min Guk, Congratulations Ultraman! In true Hash tradition, he'll be haring a birthday trail out of Hyochang Park this Saturday. As promised by the Junior Hare EM Blank Space, it'll be a good one, and Hyochang Park is still easy to reach.
There was a Seoul H3 Cummittee meeting this past Sunday, and as such the GM has some announcements that he will be presenting during circle. It will certainly be a good circle to join to voice your opinion about these changes. If you're unable to join, don't worry, I'll include a summary either in the Hash Trash (what's that? you'll see) or in next week's post.

Fellow Men In Orange,
Time has brought us another year away from the moment we lost one of our friends, Emeritus Master Farty Breath. We will gather this Saturday in one of his favorite parts of Seoul to remember the trails he took us on when he was with us, followed by a circle during which we will drink cider while reminiscing of times spent with the EM and retelling his favorite jokes. For those who never had the pleasure of meeting EM Farty Breath, come and hear about a Seoul Hash legend.

For those committed to ensuring that there is not too much air in the pollution:
Drive up Sejeong Ro passing the No. 1 and then the No. 2 Embassies.
Zero your odo as you turn left at Kwang Hwa Mun.
Pass through the Sajik (Small Tunnel) at 1.1km and the Kum Hwa Tunnel at 2.5km (bigger one), ignore the entrance to Yonsei at 4.2km but be alert for the right turn north at 5.0km (right exit down an embankment) sign-posted towards first to Yonhi Jct. and then quickly to route 21 to Hongeun Jct.
Pass the Pizza Hut on your left and then the very expensive Seoul Foreign School on your right at 5.9km. Pass under the Naebu expressway (the big road in the sky) by the SK garage at 6.9km.
Immediately after turn right under the Naebu again and follow the road up the hill past the Seodaemun Library to the OnOn in the small garden opposite the Seong Won Apartments and next to the Goeun Middle School.
For those traveling light:
Use the orange line to Hongje Station and leave by Exit 3. Turn 180 degrees to the "local" bus stop and take the number 10 or 14 Green "local" bus.
750 won will take you the short distance to the Goeun Middle School seen on the right side of the chariot and the On On in the adjacent garden.

Fellow Gentlemen in Orange,
After much discussion, excitement, grief, happiness, and anticipation, the GM's wedding is finally upon us. I've managed to convince the EMs to allow a Significant Udder Away Trail to be had. That means wedding dates only, this is not an open run, to be clear. In brief, the trail will be at 12:30 in Busan near the wedding venue. If you're planning on attending but didn't receive the GM's detailed email, send me a message at tom.havoc@gmail.com and I'll forward it to you.
However, the Seoul Hash is one of tradition, and one of those traditions is to always, come rain, snow, 38°C, or microdust, always have a trail in Seoul or thereabouts. As such, our loyal Hash Hooch will be marking a trail from the Hyatt Pagoda, just at the entrance of the Itaewon Grand Hyatt. This is a classic run site, one steeped in tradition and soaked with beer. There's no doubt it will be a scenic trail of which songs will be sung for years to come, and all of the wedding goers will be envious for having missed out on.

Following a successful Nth R*n on the DMZ during which two hashers were named and NO ONE was lost or injured, we return to some normalcy at a very traditional run site. Our hare for this weekend has prepared the following announcement.
On On!
Squishy, Hon.Sec
EM Leper Con, our Kinder & Gentler EMTM will hare this cuming Saturday's run above Yonsei University from a site that we have not used for at least a couple of years. The EM has reccy'ed the site and it is very much functional and secluded so we may practice the desired level of OpSec during the Circle.
The run promises to deliver as advertised by its name: "The Boulders and Buddhas and Beers (Oh, my!) Run." The EM promises the run will be a carefree, flat (on average) running experience.
WHAT: RUN 2551 - "Boulders and Buddhas and Beers (Oh, my!)" Run
WHEN: 19 Oct. 2019, Saturday, 4pm (1600)
WHERE: Below Bongwonsa temple and above Yonsei University - hidden badminton court across the road from temple parking lot
HARE: EM LeperCon 010 9099 6195
Après Trail's: To Be Determined
E'rections:
By commandeered chariot:
1. Head for the US Embassy, and keep going north until you almost slam into the actual Gwanghwamun gate guarding Gyeongbug Palace.
2. Swerve to the left, doing your best not to hit tourists and palace guards, and head on-on due west towards Sajik Tunnel.
3. Barrel through Sajik Tunnel and go straight for about 2 km and head into Geumhwa Tunnel. Prior to, or while in this second tunnel, get into the right-hand lane.
4. Shooting out of Geumhwa Tunnel, now in the right lane, immediately take the descending exit lane down to a large traffic rotary. (Do NOT take the overpass/flyway over the rotary.)
5. At the traffic rotary, take an immediate right at the GS25 convenience store and head up the hill towards Bongwonsa temple as far as you can go, which will be the temple parking lot. (note black arrows on below map)
6. If you are in a taxi, get out here. (If you take a taxi, upon boarding, say "Geumhwa Tunnel - Bongwon-sa ga juseyo" and show map.) If you are driving your own car, you may have to pay W1,000 per 30 minutes in the temple parking lot if you can't find street parking. Recommend finding a parking spot on the shopping street leading up to the parking lot.
7. Walk 30 meters up the hill from the parking lot, noting the Buddhist tomb monuments on your right. Go another 10 meters to the first house, covered in ivy, which will be on your right.
8. Take the dirt trail, on your right, which runs next to ivy wall of the house up the hill over large rocks and then wooden steps into the forest.
9. Follow the trail 20 meters until you come to covered tennis court. Go left until you immediately find a large concrete tower. Circle tower clockwise to Circle site.
By Hashmobile:
1. Follow above points 1 through 4.
2. At the traffic rotary, take an immediate right at the GS25 convenience store, but go only about 30 meters up the hill and take a right at the first small intersection (at the dry cleaning shop on your right)
3. Start following the orange arrows on the below map so that you go 10 meters to 4-way intersection with a white "Book Café" on your left, and turn left.
4. Go 50 meters to a Y-intersection with a cream-colored building, taking the left fork.
5. Follow the brick wall on your right and park at the widened asphalt space at the very end of the multi-house-long brick wall
6. Get out of Hashmobile and take the trail from the opening in the cyclone fence (if you can find an opening) slight further up the road, on the left side of the road. (If you cannot find an opening, go to point #6 in above Commandeered Chariot misdirections.)
7. Take dirt trail up 15 meters to the first intersection, turn left and go flat about 30 meters. The Circle site will be a short scramble up a side trail on the right.
By Pubic Transportation:
1. Go to Seoul Station or Shinchon Station and take green Bus 7024 to Bongwonsa (parking lot). The bus leaves every 12 to 20 minutes. Not sure how long it takes, so suggest budgeting 45 minutes to be super safe for the bus ride.
**Hon.Sec's Addition: To catch the bus, head to the following exits:
Seoul Station Exit 9-1

Hear ye, Hear ye, Hear ye,
Half-minds, drunks, soldiers, businessmen, gentlemen, and otherwise anyone else with a kidney wiper who has ever donned an orange shirt and imbibed beer around a fire on a Saturday evening,
The much-anticipated event is finally at hand. It is indeed time for the Seoul Hash House Harriers to have our 2550th Nth R*n. (Your dedicated Hon.Sec has finally figured out that asterisk.) For those of you who have never had the pleasure of an Nth R*n, you can look forward to an amazing well-recced trail hared by none other than your GM and co-hare Hon.Sec, good company, cold beer, great stories, and dirty jokes. It sounds like a regular Seoul Hash, but that is simply not the case.
For this vaguely Bond-themed run, there's going to be a bus from Seoul to the edge of the DMZ, which, due to the lack of human interference, is an amazingly biodiverse area. But don't worry, we don't give a shit about that. We care about long, flat, shiggy-free trails with no Blank Space traps, AKA barbed wire. Additionally, some SH3 members who have relocated to other climes usually end up joining, which means you'll hear stories you haven't previously heard, tales of yore which have certainly not been embellished due to forgetting what actually happened.
Who will be the victim this year round? Last year it was an idiot named Squishy (oh shit that's me) who got a head wound and was barred from doing trail. The previous year our now GM Longfellow got lost in the GSMA...somehow. So who will it be this time?
Enough tomfoolery, let's get down to business. There are two events planned, the Friday night pre-lube dinner and the Saturday trail.
WHAT: Nth R*n Pre-Lube Dinner
WHERE: Samgakji Station Exit 7 on Subway Lines 6 and 4, very close to Itaewon
WHEN: Friday, October 11th, 5pm-??
DETAILS: As is tradition, your Hon.Sec will arrive about 5pm and start warming a stool at Fundoori, which is right at the top of the stairs at Exit 7. At 7pm we'll mosey around the corner to a barbecue joint called Ijo. Marks will be made from Fundoori to the restaurant. If you arrive after 7pm and can't find it, call me at 010-2926-6324.
And now for the big event. On Saturday, make your way to the Grand Hyatt parking lot before Noon, 1200, twelve o'clock, with 70,000 won clutched in your hand. Pile on the bus there and sit back and sip your beverage of choice as you will be transported with the rest of the Seoul Hash to Imjingak on the North Korean border. Alternatively, public transportation is an option, in which case you should send me an email (tom.havoc@gmail.com) and I'll give you detailed instructions on how to get there.
After the trail and circle, the bus will take us to a nearby beef restaurant for some much-needed protein. Following dinner, the bus will return us to the Grand Hyatt parking lot, from where you'll be left to your own devices.
On On!

By Mole Transit:
Between 5 and 7pm, leave your perch in Itaewon and hop on Line 6 East Bound. Two stops later, alight at Samgakji Station and make your way to Exit 7, where you'll be greeted warmly by a Squishy smile.
For the NTH R*N
By Hired Chariot:
Hopefully having stayed in the neighborhood after the Pre-Lube Dinner, the easiest way to the Hyatt Hotel Parking Lot is to hop in a taxi and ask the driver to take you to the Hyatt Hotel.
By Mole Transit:
If you're attempting to get to the Hyatt from a further distance, take the appropriate subways to Hangangjin Station Exit 1 and start climbing up the mountain. The Grand Hyatt can be seen looming over the neighborhood. In this situation, you should give yourself a 25 minute cushion to make it up the hill. Or just catch a taxi from the station.
If you're not taking the pack bus, email me at tom.havoc@gmail.com for detailed public transportation directions.

Dear Gentlemen, contributing members of society, and the rest of you lot,
After a very successful wedding and a non-Seoul away Hash, as well as a Seoul Hash at which Animal apparated, having sensed the need for someone to do trail besides the hare, we return to one run of normalcy before the Nth R*n. Our very own Hash Hooch is going to hide the cooler in a bush and mark a trail of epic proportions out of the classic run site of Suseo. This is the very same place that Woody was last seen, so keep your eyes peeled for him while you're out. Following trail, the GM and Hon.Sec will arrive fashionably late after a shift at work, and food of some sort will be provided by the hare.
The weather's finally getting comfortable, so grab a sweater and come chill out behind some apartments and have a few cold ones this Saturday. What better way to spend a Saturday than with some Orange-wearing brothers?

Good news for those of you who come to the Seoul Hash from down south. Suseo is one of the SRT train stops, so you can book a ticket directly to that station!

Dear Half Minds and Drunks,
Our very own Joint Master Joo Dog has offered, just three weeks after his last trail, to send out a search party for Hymen. Why he is looking for such an elusive thing, especially past the legal age, is anyone's guess. He has described his trail as a walk in the park, a stroll through the woods, a meander through the city, an easy jaunt. If those are connected with "and" then it might end up being a decent trail! If, on the other hand, they are connected with "or" the search for Hymen will be disappointingly short. In that situation, if you can't hear the noisy man-hole from the on-site, you ain't gonna find him.
There is another option this weekend, however. Our current RA, former Horn, Hon.Sec, GM, Joint Master, and probably a few other hats I've overlooked, He's Huge I'm Tiny, the one and only HHIT, is finally celebrating his nuptials this Saturday. Don't get me wrong, he's been married for years, but they're finally having their wedding. There's pack travel on a bus leaving from the Hyatt parking lot at 8:30am, and stopping at Songtan Station around 9:40 to pick up people who live down there (pit stop as well for those Seoul-boarding hashers who are concerned). There will be a trail after the ceremony, but that's not SHHH business so check the Korea H3 or Southside H3 FB page for more info.
If you're not supporting our brother at his wedding but you're on pen, Joo Dog is looking forward to seeing you at the Seoul H3 trail. He might even provide better snacks than Squishy does, with plenty of mayonnaise on the side provided by the homeless dude who lives at the on-site!
On On!

As soon as you see the sky, look down for chalk half-arrows to the on-site.
By Hired Wagon:
Exit 15 is Seoul Station adjacent, at best. If you're already in the very dense part of Seoul, just catch a taxi and read this exact sentence phonetically: "soul yuck sheep oh bun choolgoo kahjoosayyo." If that doesn't work, show it to them on Google maps. (Sorry, my laptop doesn't have Hangeul...)

Fellow Drunks and Brothers In Orange,
Our very own recently-appointed EM Seoul Ultraman is going to treat us to a trail of unknown length this weekend out of Dongjak Station, located at the crossing of subway lines 4 and 9. He had to wait two weeks to return after our family run, just to make sure none of the heinous thoughts of women being allowed on trail remained in the pack's mind. The weather is beginning to cool, and that ridiculous rain seems to have abated, which means all in all this will be the first of many pleasant fall afternoon trails for the Seoul Hash. In EM Blank Space's own words from his trail last week, "It's a good day for some exercise!"

Our very own EM Blank Space is going to bring us to his backyard and take us on a journey of epic proportions which will undoubtedly give good view. Besides that one promise, all bets are off.

So far I haven't been told of any children attending, but if you do think you'll bring your kids, please inform us so that we can tell the hares to make a shorter, easier option on trail. After trail there will be some grub of the sausage variety provided by Joo Dog.

**Note from the wise EMs: It's beginning to look a lot like Hong Kong out there, which means the weather has abated enough that it's demonstration season again. As EM LeperCon discovered last Saturday while haring, the large crowds can have a significant impact on the ability of both the hare and the pack to reach their ultimate goal, cold beer. Therefore, it has been suggested that trails not be hared out of downtown Seoul (i.e. Jongro/Seoul Station etc.) for the next few months. Please take this into consideration when volunteering to hare.**
My Fellow Bastards,
Our own Kinder & Gentler™ EM, LeperCon, will be taking us back to a near-by, but neglected run site that has offered many varied runs during years past. This time, it will be through the hill and dale of the backside (north side) of Bugaksan, which rises above the presidential Blue House.
If you take pubic transportation (bus), the bus stop at Buam-dong Community Center is about 1 (breathtaking) kilometer hike below to the run site. LC has copied and greatly modified the directions to the nearby CCC Korea location. The previous directions, once created by Cpt. Marvel and repeatedly used, has since been deleted years ago. Leper recommends you start with following directions, but also use his above map.
LC promises to make a special Costco run to supply the kennel with a large pizza or two for the the OnOn.

In any case, after getting off the bus, double back up the hill and take a left at the Bugak Skyway entrance and start hiking a good 1 km up the hill, noting the below directions.
Private Chariot
From Gwanghwamun palace gate: -> Go west to Gyeongbokgung Station -> Turn right on Jahamunro and pass Fire Station (on left side of street) -> Turn right at next stoplight intersection -> Turn left at 3-way intersection -> Pass Police Statue on your right -> Go under overpass -> Turn immediate right onto Bukak Skyway Road, but do not enter the Skyway. -> Turn immediately left into a lower side parallel alley, veering to the right and drive about 50m up the alleyway where you can see a grocery store on left -> Continue veering to the right, up the mountain road, noting "CCC" on your left, making some sharp turns until you reach the top of the climb.
The run site is at the top of the hill's climb, on the immediate left, probably behind a couple of parked cars.

My dear brothers in orange and fellow half-minds,
This one is going to be longer than normal, but please read diligently as these words might be life-changing. Or at least scan this quick summary and decide if you should send me an email.
1) Please begin confirming attendance for the N*th run.
2) Our run this week (August 24th) starts at 1300 / 1pm at Jamsillaru Exit 1, followed by a baseball game at 6. Pre-confirmation of attendance not necessary.
3) Our September 7th run will be a Family Run for Hashathon. If you plan on bringing an ankle biter or better half who won't be able to finish a standard Seoul H3 trail, please give advance notice because hares will then make accommodations.
Let's get started with the actual post.
First, your GM and Hon.Sec have recce'd the N*th run trail, and the diligent JM has already begun making reservations and scouting schwag, some of which can be personalized IF you RSVP early. So please begin confirming your attendance to the October 12th N*th run by email, phone call, WhatsApp, smoke signals, what have you. If you don't get a reply to your smoke signals, please try one of the other means of communication. Don't forget to include what you'd like to be monogrammed on a flask. Contact information additional to this email address is available on the "Committee" tab.
Next, and the main reason for this email, is this week's run! Our very own, very British Hash Horn ASBO has seen the light and developed an affinity for the Koreanized version of the American pastime of baseball. Same rules but it's really loud and has cheerleaders, if you haven't had the pleasure of watching a game. So he's going to hare a long, flat, and shiggy-free trail out of Jamsillaru Station Exit 1 at 1pm / 1300. *Please note the time change.*
We'll wrap up circle around 5:30 and stumble on over to Jamsil Baseball Stadium, pick up outfield general admission tickets to the LG Twins vs. kt wiz baseball game for on-after! Probably a couple chickens and some beer as well. As is always acceptable but rarely practiced, this is on-after so feel free to bring along members of the fairer sex. Since we're going to get general admission, confirming attendance isn't necessary.
On On!

Wake up in your bed in Itaewon with a clear head because, knowing the Hash starts early, you decided to go to bed before midnight after just a few pints. Amble your way to Itaewon Station and catch a train heading East toward Hangangjin. After your strange deja Vu from last week passing Yaksu, transfer to the green line number 2 at Sindang station. Catch a train going East/clockwise toward Sangwangsimni. Stay on for 9 stations and alight at the first station after crossing the Han River, Jamsillaru. Head for Exit 1 and look for half-arrows leading you to the on-site.
ANNOUNCEMENT:
September 7th will be a Family Run due to it being the week of Hashathon. That means, should you so choose, you can bring your children and wives or girlfriends (preferably not both your wife and your girlfriend), as well as any female hashers who would like to join, to the Hash and they will be welcomed with open arms. Dogs too? Yeah, probably dogs too. However, if you think someone you're bringing with you would prefer or only be able to finish a shorter or flatter trail, the hares will need to accommodate that. So if you are planning on bringing someone of that description, please inform one of the committee members by replying to this email or checking the Committee page on the website for other members' contact information.

Brother Bastards,
Your Grand Master had high hopes of haring a run out the roof of his apartment building. This dream ended when the powers that be (his wife) declared noise pollution and flowerbeds on fire to be a bad mark on her reputation. Mustn't upset the neighbors, you see. Not to mention, the police.
But we of the Seoul Hash laugh in the face of danger and authority. What better way to rebel, then, than by simply relocating somewhere nice and safe and dull: under a bridge next to a stream. It may be an exhausted staple of this chapter but so are running and/or drink-running.
So prepare to piss about under Kohchok Bridge near the big skydome like the trolls we are, enjoying pints (well, not quite pints), pizza and plenty of laughs. And there should be a trail of some reasonable distance as well.

Dear Hash Brothers,
On Saturday, 20 July, the esteemed, though oft absent Mr Blister will hare a trail through the former nether regions of Seoul. Trail will begin promptly from the vicinity of Sindap station (green number 2 line) exit 1. The trail will serve as a warning cry to those who appreciate the way things were in the good old days and demonstrate the destructive powers of gentrification. It will feature far fewer opportunities for disease or injury than there used to be. In short, it will be a tour through former historic neighborhoods where the Royal Asiatic Society would never dare to tread on one of their guided excursions. Bring an appreciation for the good old days, a horror of the "new Korea," a Y-chromosome, and a thirst for beer!
What: Blister's lament to lost traditions
When: Saturday July 20th, at 1600/4 pm Air Force time
Where: Sindap Station (green/line 2), exit 1
Why: Why not?
Hare: Mr Blister (as if there was ever a need for a co-hare...)
Hash Cash: 10,000 Won
On After: Wherever the night takes us!
D'erections:
Option 1:
Get on the subway. Look at the map, figure out how to get to Sindap station (green #2 line), being aware it is on the Seongsu Branch. Come up for air at Sindap station exit 1. Alternately, stand around looking confused in front of a subway map until a high school student decides to practice English by giving you bad directions. Follow their unhelpful advice and may god have mercy upon your soul.
Option 2:
Seriously, why would you be driving? The BAC is down to .03, so if one of us so much as breathes on you, you will be facing arrest. Only Farty Breath seemed to be immune to that rule... However, if you persist in your oil addiction, type in "Sindap Station" into your GPS and start DUIing to the start point. I honestly do not know the driving directions and good luck finding a parking space in the vicinity.
If you get lost, are going to come late, or just want someone to talk to in general, call up the hare at 010-3474-1972

Seoul Hash Brothers,
Hash Horn ASBO is following the Pet Shop Boys' advice and taking us on a trail way out WEST at Gyeyang Station. Will he teach himself how to play their innocuous song on the horn? Or will he take the easy way out and simply blast the song at full volume from his Bluetooth speaker as he's haring? We shall find out on Saturday when we meet in the WEST.
What we do know is that the too-warm beer will be provided by the hare, as he's going to be pinch-hooching for Hash Hooch Just Call Me Snake, who, out of character for him, has planned his snaky business well in advance and passed the cooler after circle last week.

Another option is to take the closest Airport Limousine to Gimpo International Airport. It's not as far WEST as Incheon, so it shouldn't take as long. Get off the bus and you can either take the Airport Railroad one stop WEST if you're lazy, or hoof it using Google Maps as your guide if you think ASBO's trail is going to be too short.

Brother Hashers and Like-Half-Minded Assholes,
Our Kinder & Gentler™ EM LeperCon promises a trail suitable for every Hasher who has not yet worked up an adequate sweat on trail this summer. This is run is designed for those "We don't need no fuckin' sauna" Hashers. There may be special opportunities for a bit of blood on trail for those who are adventuresome and/or unsteady of foot. For those who persevere on this statistically flat course, the EM promise nature, religion, and traditional urbanscapes - along with the usual blood, sweat -- and beers, this time with Costco pizzas (at the end).
We will meet at the top, at the Wall of Whines, at 4:00 PM, Saturday, June 29. Bring along a buddy, since we all LOVE virgin Hashers. (We promise to be gentle the first time.) This run site is within downtown, but yet provides a good variety of Hashing experiences and will be an ideal first run for the uninitiated.
{Obvious Tip: Print out and take the map with you if you are not sure of the Wall of Whines' location}
WHAT: Seoul Hash House Harriers Run No. 2536 "EM LeperCon's Blood, Sweat and Even More Sweat Run"

WHERE: Wall of Whines (see Directions below and attached map)
HARES: EM Lepercon
HASH CASH: 10000 Won
ON AFTER: Ara maybe?
By Car :
0. Study below map before arriving in downtown Seoul!
1. At Gwanghwamun, and pass the US Embassy, zero your odometer and turn Right, and then move smartly to the left turn lanes.
2. 0.1K turn Left around the Pagoda (actually a wall guard tower) that is placed in the middle of traffic
3. Turn right at the 1st set of lights and pass Jeongdok Library (see map) on your left.
4. Continue up over and down a hill until you come to a 4-way intersection with flashing yellow lights.
5. At the lights, turn left and proceed up the 4-lane street to the top of the hill. (From this point, you will be following the Green bus route on the map.)
6. At the top of the hill continue further up but upon crossing the intersection, you will be on a forested 2-land road snaking up the mountain.
7. Continue past the back gate to Sungkyunkwan University and at about 2.8K park at the top near the "Wall of Whines" public park.
By Pubic Transportation:
1. Take subway to the ORANGE line's Anguk Station and go out exit 3. From there you have three options:
Option 1: Take a taxi (fare should be about W2,000), say "Sung-gyun-gwan Dae-hak Hoo-moon Ahp." That will take you to the entrance of the back gate of Sungkyungwan University. From there, either direct the taxi driver to driver further up the hill for the last 200 meters -- or get out and walk up the hill along the main road.
Option 2: Take a green ma-ul small bus, ("Jongno 02," fare = W500) at Anguk Subway Station, and get off BEFORE (see below map) Sungkyunkwan University's back gate and walk exactly 512 meters further up the hill. Do NOT go into the university grounds if you can help it. If the bus drops you inside of the campus, walk up the hill to the gate from which you arrived and take a right on to the main road that will take you up the hill to the OnOn site.
Option 3: Walk, skip or run a good 25 or so minutes up the hill and follow the directions from #A:
A. Take the road past the Constitution Court Building on your left, keep straight across all intersections and hike a good kilometer up the hill.
B. Pass the Saudi Arabian embassy high-wall compound on your right. 200 meters further up you will find the side gate to Jungang High School on the right; pass it and take an immediate right on to the narrow road leading up into the mountain.
C. (If you come to the National Audit building on your right or the Vietnamese Embassy on your left, you've gone to far and need to circle back and take the road that leads further up the mountain.)
D. Go at least a kilometer eventually passing a back gate to Sungkyungwan University. Keep on the road another 200 or so meters beyond the below Green bus route ends, and you will come to a park at the ridge line with the infamous Wall of Whines - locally referred to as the "Seong-bug" meaning North Fortress.
If the above directions defy your half-a-mind, try your hand at map reading or give the Hare a call on his shoe phone: 010-9099-6195

Brother Hashers of Seoul,
Another sun sets on another committee year for Seoul's premier gentlemen's Hash chapter. There have been bloody head wounds in Gapyeong, hangovers in Hong Kong, illegal fires in the heart of Samgakji, creepy, abandoned amusement parks in Bucheon and a successful Seoul Hash every week of the 2018-19 year.
To see out the Year of the Joo Dog is the man himself (slightly limp) and his honorable secretary, Longfellow. What a trail and an onsite they will have for you. And there will be Mexican food, hats for committee members and new Hash shirts all round.
Despite the GM's recovering from a sprained ankle, the Hon. Sec will make sure the former will do most of the marking.
But with each dusk comes a new dawn shortly after. And that means a new Grand Master and committee. Who will take up the mantle of the GM? Retard Woody? That Russian bloke who sang that morbid birthday song? Glass Jaw Steven? Bruiser? All bets are off for, as we know on the Seoul Hash, "erections" do not work. The Emeritus Masters, it seems, know best. With all that said and done, turn up on time, run a trail, drink some beer, eat something and wait to hear the big news around a modest fire.
On On!

It's been a year since Squishy dragged us over hill, peak, dale and barrel through Bangbae. I forgave him because there was pizza at the end and it was a valiant effort, but will you and I be so forgiving this time?

Dearest Drinkers of Piss,
After last week's epic, well-marked slog through Gaehwa, the pressure is on for HHIT to deliver a run longer and harder to defy expectations and make Hash history.
That is why there is every chance his trail this Saturday won't just bust your balls, but make your bladder useful in more ways than one. There are high mountains in Seoul and if you forget that crucial man won bill to purchase precious water, there's always the next best thing...not Coors Light...your own piss. You may lose face but you will stay hydrated.

Brothers Bound for Hong Kong or Otherwise,
Months and months of waiting have withered into weeks, and finally, mere days. The annual Hong Kong Invasion by the madmen in orange is finally happening! Boozing, Hashing, whoring, chundering, rugby-watching, pocket-patting and singing on HK Hashes will be our by-words for four days of hedonistic debauchery. There's still time if you haven't booked! Snake just did so!
If, however, you are faced with a weekend in Seoul, then fret not, for committed Seoul Hash hare, Joint Master, Choopa Cabroan, armed with chalk, anthrax and his dog, Bruiser will take care of your Hashing needs. Chances are he'll provide a cooler of booze where our regular Hash Hooch cannot due to his being in Hong Kong. Not to mention, he may well GP circle too as our illustrious GM is in the same boat. So whatever your reason for not being in Hong Kong this weekend, head for Nambu Bus Terminal for guaranteed trail and beer!

Fellow Sleazeballs,
A shit sandwich of an open run awaits us next week. On the far side of it, there's the ever-glorious Hong Kong Sevens Seoul Hash Invasion, and on this side of it there's Sleazey Rider's run on Saturday. This may be the last premium Seoul Hash that you will experience before women show up the following week or you're sweating and heaving and vomiting in Chater Garden the week after. Make the most of what's left in Seoul and come out this Saturday for a ball-busting trail, thirst-quenching beer and the best (albeit sleaziest) company you could ask for on a Saturday afternoon.

My Boozing Brothers,
As anyone who ran Leper's January trail knows, all useful Seoul police officers are nowhere to be seen on a Saturday, except near Gyeongbokkung. There they model high-vis jackets and monitor benign political protests. So it's no surprise then that the rest of Seoul is a fuzz-free zone and so perfect for yelling "on on", lighting fires and singing about Miss Lees. But could that all change this weekend? After all, who knows when a vigilante squad of padded jacketed ajeosshis will drag us, kicking and screaming, to the slammer just for innocently Hashing in the heart of tranquil Seocho?
Well, they may not have to try too hard this Saturday as Longfellow is out to redeem himself with a revised trail out of the same runsite from two years ago. We'll have to see. What is certain is a trail, beer, sandwiches and a circle. Come on out to find out!

Fellow Drunks,
Can you guess who this week's hares are? I'll give you a clue. One's a "mature," globetrotting Anglophile with (presumably) hundreds of runs under his belt and the other is...Squishy. Join this odd couple for a run on Saturday. It'll be a gem of a trail for sure what with that winning combination of youthful exuberance (Squishy) and Blank's..em..er..maturity. I, for one, cannot wait to hear about how they stopped for McDonald's and cigarettes and lined up for lattes when they should have been haring. I jest! I'm sure the trail'll be well-marked, the beer well-chilled and the men in orange well-hammered by the end of the night, if not circle.

Runners Under the Influence,
Keep the above image in mind as our sobererest Seoul Hasher, He's Huge, I'm Tiny (HHIT), is taking to the streets south of the Han to show us how a Seoul Hash trail is done properly. I use the term "us" lightly as relatively new Seoul Hasher and not-quite-Mystery Hare, ASBO, will be joining the former Joint Master to get a long, hard, vigorous lesson in bending over...and applying chalk and anthrax to sidewalks, lamp posts and other things so that the pack can run, work up a thirst for beer and direct a tirade of insults toward the hare. So hopefully we can do all that without having to look for a mark every twenty meters and ending up half the way to bloody Wonju. If there's one walk of life for which I condone sobriety then it's haring well.
If you make it back to the onsite alive, prepare for mirth, merriment, lots of beer, food and laughter.

Dear Party People,

I can personally vouch for Squishy's dedication to the laying of said trail because I found the onsite with him yesterday. It's tranquil and picturesque and there's every chance we'll get some stares from the older circles of this country's padded coated population.
So there's nothing else for it but to come out beyond the outskirts of Seoul, in delightful Sunae. There there'll be mirth, merriment and, possibly, some birthday beats...if we're violent and the police get involved.

If, like Baggo presumably, you're sick to the back teeth of Hashing with the fairer sex for just one Saturday, make it this one and come out for beer, sustenance(maybe some wine), banter, a more-than-ambling countryside trail and seeing how well Baggo handles his splash after all this time.

Dearest Juvenile Delinquents,
What an amusingly escalating Hash we had last week in the Lair of the LeperCon: Squishy so drunk he sounded like he'd had a stroke, Snake's mysterious black eye following a one night stand, Leper's trail reportedly being 11km when it was in fact 5km and Scalded Squirrel dressing like a burglar as the evening temperature dropped. Not to mention the many revealing photos of post-surgery scars and au naturale selfies. I mean, what a Saturday to be alive!
Can such a Hash of banter-filled magnitude be repeated this Saturday? Well, with Grand Master, Joo Dog in Trumpland, Honorary Secretary, Longfellow tied down (at work, nothing sexy mind) and Blank Space NOT attending any children's parties this week, we could be in for a hell of an exceptional Hash. After all, retired British criminal, ASBO is more than primed to pull out the big guns and hare a trail that will drag you through western Seoul. In particular, he has his eyes set on haring through a botanical garden. So, if it is ungodly cold, why not warm up there before sprinting back to complain about how cold the trail was.
Anyway, if you want to have a good time, then look no further than Seoul Hash House Harriers in Magongnaru!

The Year of the Pig is almost upon us. And there's one more Seoul Hash run to be run before The Year of the Dog is out. So Joint Master, Choopa Cabroan has taken it upon himself to not only transport beer to the legendary "Lord of the Flies" runsite, but to hare out of there too.
Since winter solstice (and the GM's vasecto) was but days earlier, the chances of swarms of flies of biblical proportions are slim to nil. That being said, that doesn't mean you can't freeze your ass off, warm it up with a run and return to the runsite panting and sweaty, desperate for amber nectar and sustenance. After all, it's the last Hash of 2018, so forget the teeming crowds in Gangnam on the thirty-first and celebrate in style with a group of likely lads around A FIRE on Saturday. You read that right. A perfectly legal fire in the country that won't summon cops or curious ajussis.
On On!

Beer-Drinking Buddies,
Christmas is but a week away, but what a tragedy it is that the 2018 yuletide run shall not feature the most stalwart of our Seoul Hashers. What with the GM's "nuts" going under the knife, the Hon. Sec on a jet plane with his woman to EM Blank's favorite country (can you guess which one?) and wingy-regular, HHIT moving house, our venerable Hooch, Just Call Me Snake, has volunteered to bring Xmas cheer and plentiful beer to a cold December Saturday in central Seoul.
So whilst the GM recovers from his nuts being "cracked," skip the carols and mulled wine to "crack your own nuts" on a blisterish trail out of the legendary Troll's Lair, courtesy of Snake. Post-run, reconvene at the "Lair" for booze, food, mirth and merriment.
On on and Happy Christmas!

Drunken Dudes,
It's cold and frosty out there but a hard, cold can of beer and a slice of pizza Turtle-style should ease your shivering body. But what should get your blood pumping is a nice long run around Gimpo International Airport courtesy of first-time hare, ASBO. So head on out to the far western reaches of Seoul/ Incheon, run the run then gather round to keep warm with hot packs, multiple layers and witty, witty banter with the Seoul Hash House Harriers. If a fire is possible, just hope planes don't mistake it for a runway.

Allies in Alcohol,
Longfellow reaches the almighty milestone of thirty-one (forty-odd in Korean years) this week. Many happy returns! As you can see from the recent police sketch, he needs him some rehab after well over a quarter-century of alcohol abuse. GM Joo Dog has assured him, with outstanding doctor's advice, that the cure for said abuse is mystery haring with him and drinking with Seoul Hashers. By his patter, the GM's medical knowledge seems limited to preparing for vasectomies, but that's qualified enough for a recovering Seoul Hasher.
So come out to the foot of Yongmasan for a killer view, a flat(tish) run, cold cans of liquid gold, hot dogs or otherwise and a circle with hearty Hashers to warm up the winter weather.
On On!

Whereas HHIT's trail last week had you on your knees begging for mercy, Hash Horn-blower and hare of questionably reccied trails, Squishy steps up to this week's haring plate. He longs for salvation and acceptance in the eyes of his Seoul Hash peers as a pretty good hare whose trails don't have you fighting for air halfway up a mountain. Well, that longing ends this Saturday as there's not a man alive who would turn down a chance to perv at skirt meat, ogle nudie sculptures and drink in the other artistic areas of Seoul City. And it can all be done whilst warming up your body on a winter run. Not to mention, the possible chance of berating and chastising Squishy for what could well be a terrible run. But then again, it could well be the best Seoul Hash trail...of the week. Truth be told, though, Squishy has, purportedly, reccied a good run HENCE "The Arts and Recce-reation Run."
Anyway, the point is, get your ass to Nambu Bus Terminal Station around three on Saturday afternoon, enjoy a sweaty amble south of the Han, drink in the skirt meat and beer, and have a ruddy good time.
On On!
Get on one of those ubiquitous subway trains at Itaewon Station on Beige Line No. 6. Make sure it's terminus is Bonghwasan Station and get off three stations after Itaewon at Yaksu Station. Get to Line 3 and get on an Ogeum-bound train and zoom on down eight stations before getting off at Nambu Bus Terminal Station. Come up for air at Exit 1 and follow chalk-marked arrows and "SH3." At some point, you'll find some men in orange.

Gentlemen Mounters,
Our accident prone teetotaler, HHIT, promises a short, flat shiggy free trail that awaits at the end of the northern reaches of Beige Line 6. An amiable amble, a gentle jog, or a relaxing run through this quiet locale in Seoul should give you ample time for some quiet reflection. Be sure to pick up a coffee (or a beer, if you're normal) before returning to the on in, as this trail will be a lullaby for your legs.
On On!

SHHH EST. 1972
Gentlemen Inebriates,
With the Isle of Death mercifully sealed off for rebuilding or something, first-time Hare, Mockery has set his sights on Hyehwa instead.The onsite is a stone's throw from theaters, the well-preserved hillside walls and marketplaces. But, and let's be honest, there's nothing more satisfying than running through the crowning jewel of the Joseon Dynasty: Gyeongbok Palace and its mysterious gardens.
So don your hanbok, grab a someak and gather in Hyehwa this SHHHaturday. If you're like me, and you enjoy a few rounds of Stella mere meters from the onsite, join us afterwards at the armchair bar. And that literally is a stone's throw from the onsite! Not to mention that beforehand there'll be cooler beer, nosh and a ruddy good circle around discarded cans.
ON ON!

Gentlemen, British, Commonwealth or Otherwise,
"It's Not A Hash Without A Cider!!"
And nor is it without our fallen brother, Seoul Hash stalwart for many a decade, Emeritus Master, Farty Breath. It has been one year since Korea's answer to English arrogance ascended to the Eternal False Trail in the Sky. Come commemorate his tragic passing with a meaty run hared by Farty's old friend, the ever venerable Emeritus Master, Blank Space. There'll be beer, cidaaah, perhaps England's finest cullinary contribution to the world, the sandwich (if there's nothing better to eat) and a warm,witty circle into the early evening.
On On!
Longfellow Hon. Sec
*A story about Farty would be perfect for circle. If you never knew or met him, maybe a joke, song or diatribe about the English instead.
Stagger on down to Itaewon Station on Beige Line No. 6. Board a Bonghwasan-bound train and alight three stations later at Yaksu Station. Switch to Line No. 3 and board an Ogeum-bound train. Alight two stations later at Oksu Station. Come up for air at Exit 7. Follow "SH3" and arrows marked in chalk to a gathering of orange-shirted men under a bridge. If you get lost, contact the Hon. Sec, Longfellow on 010-9397-6199. On On!

Dearest Dirty Bastards,
Please do go down to Yeungdeungpo for a run that will leave you up to your armpits in shitty, shiggy-licious mud. Unless of course it's an urban run on a beautiful day and the wettest place around is the grey light district...... But what do I know? I'm just the Hon. Sec. I'm only getting the word out about noticeably tall Hasher, Sleazey Rider and his first ever Seoul Hash hared run out of Yeungdeungpo (with help from a snake).
So come out this Saturday to scrutinize and criticize what could well be the best trail of the week be it short, well-marked, free of absolutely any shiggy and easily shortcuttable for the GM. Reunite somewhere in Yeungdeungpo, hopefully mud-free, to sink some beers, chew on something and enjoy a good, long circle into the Saturday evening dusk. You may even get to sing that above song!
On On!
Get your drunken ass to Seoul Station, the heart of Seoul public transport (apparently) with so many lines meeting there. Get on a Line No. 1 train bound for Sinchang, Seodongtan or Incheon. Get off six stations later at Yeoungdeungpo Station and come up for air at Exit 1. Follow arrows and "SH3" marked in chalk to a gathering of drunken-looking men.

"Here in Britain, of course, it's Thank Fuck We Got Those Weird Jesus Bastards On The Boat Day"
― Warren Ellis
Once again, our infamous EM Farty Breath has decided to grace the pack with a British Thanking Day to sort of remember, most likely forget and quite possibly blackout.
For those committed to ensuring that there is not too much air in the pollution:
Head up Sejeong Ro passing the No. 1 and then the No. 2 Embassies.
Zero your odo as you turn left at Kwang Hwa Mun.
Pass through the Sajik (Small Tunnell)at 1.1km and the Kum Hwa Tunnel at 2.5kms (Bigger one),ignore the entrance to Yonsei at 4.2km but be alert for the right turn north at 5.0kms (right exit down an embankment) sign-posted towards first to Yonhi Jct. and then quickly to route 21 to Hongeun Jct..
Pass the Pizza Hut on your left and then the very expensive Seoul Foreign School on your right at 5.9kms . Pass under the Naebu expressway(The big road in the sky) by the SK garage at 6.9kms.
Immediately after,turn right under the Naebu again and follow the road up the hill past the Seodaemun Library(서대문도사관)to the OnOn in the small garden opposite the Seong Won(성원) Apartments and next to the Goeun Middle School.
For those travelling light:
Use the orange line to Honje Station and leave by exit 3. Turn 180degrees to the "local"bus stop and take the No10 or 14 Green "local" bus(일반).Ignore Timbers previous comments,the Bus will be there
W750 will take you the short distance to the Goeun Middle School seen on the right side of the chariot and the On On site in the adjacent garden.
If you need further help with the directions, or are just looking for light conversation on the UN resolution,or tips on setting up business , contact the Hare on 010-8263-2603 .(GMS only on Sats)
Pack, the time has come once again to say yet another fair thee well to one of the grumpier members of the pack. As the Brits will attest, when a Yankee leaves, a whore loses five dollars. And with that in mind, there has been quite the request from "the hill" for Victoria's Secret to venture away from the GSMA. The pack will miss, his germaphobic ways and not so much about hearing about what kimchi does to his insides...we are all here, we know, we get it, Kimchi makes your shits sting as if a heard of buffalo where running out of your asshole.
On On Vic Sec. The pack will miss you but you will be back, like a bad case of herpies, they always come back.
By subway:
Purchase your ticket and head through the wicket and on your way onto line #3 line and ride to Dongnimmun station (station #326) and exit from the #4 exit. Then just follow the markings.By motorized chariot or pedicab, rikshaw, etc:
Proceed past the Yankee Army base heading west, and then turn right at Samgakji intersection. Continue straight, heading towards Seoul Station. As you approach the Seoul Station area, make sure that your chariot is in one of the left lanes so that you can turn left at the major intersection opposite Seoul Station where the traffic in the right hand lanes must head towards the burnt offering to Korean protests known as Namdaemoon. Do NOT head right towards Namdaemoon but instead turn left at that main intersection and stay left so that you can enter the tunnel just ahead and when you exit the tunnel continue straight for just two (2) kms. You are now on what the Yankee Army lads refer to as MSR 1.
Note that point about 2 kms from Seoul Station when you approach the intersection where the elevated highway becomes highly visible and you can also see the Independence Gate park area on your left, and having noted that landmark, turn left at that intersection, under the bridge. This is also known as the Dongnimmun station intersection and you can find parking below the bridge in the area near the Park. Climb out of your conveyance, and walk over to the #4 entrance/exit to Dongnimmun station, station #326 on Line #3, and look for markings to the on-on site that Victoria's Secret swears will exist and which will guide you to the on-on without any problem whatsoever.
Great leadership does not mean running away from the Beer. Sometimes the hard trails might just demoralize the pack, but at other times sharing difficulties can inspire people to take action that will make the situation better and the beer colder. On On to the outgoing GM and the new half mind who will take his place.
The time has come to once again pass off the bed pan and allow a tired and worn down GM (often absent due to his habit of getting hand jobs). But alas, who can take the reins of the hash and "guide" the pack through another year? There is only one way to find out. That is to get your lazy asses off your couches, out of your whores, away from the wives and come to the changeover run this Saturday. It is at Namteryoung double pagaoda, a very short flat and shiggy free trail is guaranteed for all to enjoy.
Subway:
Assuming you get on the subway at Samgakji station (429), ride South towards Sadang station and get off at next stop which is Namtaeryeong station (434). Leave throughExit #2 and start walking uphill on the left side of the street. After cresting the hill, look for a dirt driveway with the Double-Pagoda on the left.
Driving:
From the Yongsan Army base, drive South over the Dongjak bridge. Near the end of the bridge, change lanes to either the center or right lane. The road will curve left as you exit the bridge, and at this point you'll need to change to the far right lane in order to turn right towards Sadang station. Continue straight and drive past Sadang station (~3Km); then continue towards Namtaeryeong station. Drive up and over the hill past the walkers and the Double Pagoda. As you come down the far side of the hill, move to the far right to take the exit (do not drive through the tunnel). At the top of the exit ramp, make a U turn and drive back towards the Double Pagoda. This time it will be on your right, and you can turn up the dirt road to park.
Brothers,
Last weekend traditions were held by some, trail was had by all and rough Sunday mornings were quarantined and delivered. It makes a half-mind think, "Why not do it all over again?" Hence, this weekend's trail will be brought to you by our own Kangaroo loving Hymen. He will take the pack far along the orange line (number 3 for those who can't see tone nor tint). Get your thirsty self up to Jichuk Station, exit 2 and follow chalk to glory.
Subway:
From Itaewon Station, head towards Eungam for 16 glorious stations, then transfer at Bulgwang Station heading towards Daehwa for a mere 3 short stations. Depart at Jichuk Station, exit 2…find chalk, run trail, drink beer, don't get lost, don't die.
