I found two hills affectionally called "Hookers Hill" and "Homo Hill." Actually, they are streets, each being one street away from, and running parallel to, each other. While I was walking up one of them, during my first venture through Itaewan that Sunday afternoon, I was approched.... I declined.
Both streets are lined on both sides with bars. I have seen as much partying outside on the streets as I have seen inside the various bars. I've enjoyed a few beers at a couple of them (and that's all).
Not all bars and clubs are on these two "hills." I have seen many throughout Itaewon. Also, I've seen many (and have eaten at a few) restaurants featuring international cuisines.
Besides eating some lunch, all I did in Itaewan was walk around. That required only a couple hours of slow walking.
I've eaten western styled breakfast at "All American Diner" a few times. Pricey, but delicious!
Great burgers are made at Kraze Burgers. During my first time eating at the one pictured above, a Korean man dressed in a gray suit sat at the table next to mine. While he slowly enjoyed his beer, he started a conversation with me. He told me his father fled North Korea years ago and started a new life near Daegu. I had told him I was living in Yeongcheon, and that rung a bell in his mind. Very kind man he was.
That orange building has been a reliable cue, telling me I'm near Seoul Station, when riding in a taxi. In those white tents was a church service being conducted.
