Worldpackers has aggregated thousands of unique volunteer opportunities from all over the world. While I prefer booking tours in person, GetYourGuide is an excellent tool for researching unique activities that you might not otherwise know about. Have found plenty of incredible gems on GetYourGuide and has made my life easier when I’m too lazy to head out to find a tour agency in perso


I’ll start with my personal favorites, Thursday’s or Corner Pub. These tend to have lively crowds, ample seating, and a good mix of locals and foreigners to meet. Mixed drinks tend to go for between 5,000 to 10,000 won, and beer for right around the same pric


We tend to be expressive, whether it is towards work, appearance and so on. And why shouldn’t we be, the act of expression itself is an empowering one. To be able to express, convey and resonate with, is what connects us as individuals. So women express themselves through words, actions, and 링크모음 gestures. Themselves and other women in a time when they did not receive that same kind of support from me


I honestly was surprised to hear so much American rap music in South Korea. It’s kind of annoying, and sometimes they’ll let you in if you are with a group of Koreans, but generally, you’ll get turned away. So needless to say, this list of recommendations will only include foreigner-friendly clubs. I always had local friends taking me out in Hongdae, so I mostly just trusted they knew where to take m


Many of them turn to matchmaking services to set up dates with the idea being that they could lead to marriage. Counselors are required to be morally acceptable, 35 years of older and have a college degree in psychology, education or social welfare. Korean dating apps or online dating are the common options in meeting people to date, especially in these modern days. There are actually infinite ways to meet Korean 링크모음 singles, and not only through an online Korean dating site. South Korea's rapid economic development has meant some startling changes within its conservative social structure, including the rise of so-called host bars, where wealthy women pay the equivalent of thousands of dollars for male company. And of course, birthdays and actual one-year anniversaries are also major events on the calendar for couple


There are several cruises per 링크모음 day, starting from early afternoon with a sunset cruise at 6pm in the summer – there are sometimes later cruises that include dinner and live music. A pocha is a type of restaurant in Korea where you can get food, affordable drinks, talk freely, and get the ball rolling for the night. You can find them anywhere, but I recommend going to a pocha that is not super close to the clubbing districts (Hongdae and Itaewon). Most of these pocha’s are more expensive since they are near very popular area


There are plenty of things to keep you busy, and it’s easy to just walk around with a beer or bottle of soju and pop into places that tickle your fancy. Although I feel like I’ve spent tons of time bar-hopping in Hongdae, I’m still barely scratching the surface of the immense nightlife scene here. One can walk around and make detours at photo booths, claw machines, arcades, play darts, shoot airsoft guns, and much mor


The letter N signifies a ‘new’ look, and a total construction cost of 15 billion won was invested in to giving Seoul Tower its new look. Whilst the winter nights in 링크모음 Seoul may be cold, these South Korean Christmas lights and events warm the heart and see in both Christmas and celebrate the end of the year. Soju can be drunk neat or mixed (e.g. with flavoured sugar syrup). One of the most common ways to drink soju (and often seen in K-Dramas) is to have a ‘soju bomb’. A soju bomb (poktan-ju 폭탄주) is when you drop a shot of soju straight into a beer and drink it as on


Overlooking Cheonggyecheon Stream in downtown Seoul, time to ‘K-Pop’ along to HiKR Ground, a 링크모음 free cultural center dedicated to all aspects of Korean life and open until 7pm (some floors are closed on Mondays). From what to buy to prices and opening hours, here is our ultimate guide to Lotte Mart Zettaplex Seoul Station. This is a a supermarket social media sensation where Seoul travellers stock up on everything from K-Beauty products to South Korean snacks like HBAF and banana milk. The Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) in Seoul lights up in the winter months (especially around Christmas time in Seoul) with a free, festive winter light sho


They were not equal to their employer, yet above the servants, too. They were given a room in the family part of the house, not the servant’s quarters, and ate their meals with their employer. Other servants often held a grudge against the companion due to the close relationship they had with their mistress. A companion was hired when a wealthy lady required a guardian for her reputation. I healed the parts of my heart that had been broken from past relationships. A companion was not paid in "wages", but given a small salary referred to as an "allowance
