Nightlife and Activities

Korea has a lively nightlife with bars, nightclubs and restaurants littering the country. Eating out in Korea is really cheap and is possibly even cheaper than eating in. As Korea does not suffer from a high cost of living, a night out in Korea can be a very cheap night. Korean beers such as Cass, OB and Hite are reasonably cheap in a bar and even cheaper again from a supermarket or shop, drinking foreign beers only will prove expensive, shots and mixed drinks are also inexpensive.

Eating out with friends is a common social event in Korea as restaurant meals a very reasonable. Sitting on the floor in the traditional Korean style is most enjoyable despite being taxing on your knees but you’ll get over it. Table service is generally good, especially if you are eating with a group of foreign friends in which case you will nearly have a dedicated waitress. Tipping is not usual or expected in Korea and can sometimes cause offence if it is insisted upon as the language barrier will also play a part.

Karaoke rooms or "Singing rooms" are very popular in Korea. These are rented rooms where the occupants can sing karaoke and are rated on each performance. Both English and Korean songs are generally catered for and you can be sure that any meal with colleagues from work where soju has been consumed will eventually end up here.
