|
|
Just sitting here. Have to go to work. But a huge group of Korean business men have just invaded all the computers. All in suits with the boss- (I think)- Standing behind them. They're all playing "Starcraft."
That's the thing that will do my head in about Korea for the day...
Where else in the world would a boss bring his employees to a PC room for some R&R.
Gotta love this place. |

can any of you BELIEVE the excessive smoke in those places???? The only good time to go is after 1am and up until about 10 am. After that it's super hard core cigarette smoke up your nostrils and into your pours. |

In Korea, cigarette smoke is an air freshener, flavor enhancer, and aphrodesiac all in one! |

The new smoking section laws in the PC room have been more or less worthless. Most PC rooms just divided the room in two. The one I frequent however is has pretty clean air most of the time. |

I believe it's called "dumbing down". The most wired nation on earth, with unrivalled access to the valuable wealth of information online, uses the internet almost exclusively for playing games like starcraft. tragic.
The internet revolution is transforming 99% of the population into chain- smoking, bleary eyed game addicts. |

The PC Room I frequent seesm to be smoke free. There are no ashtrays in the whole joint and there is a smoking room through a glass door. It is brand spanking new though and is usually quiet during school hours(plus the PC Bang gilr here is hot and has the nicest touche ) |

found a bang in sinchon that has a full partition and a sliding door between smoking and non-smoking. 1500 an hour though but worth it if you don't want to be gassed. |

I still remember the time that a fight broke out over starcraft in a pc room at 1 in the morning.

I saw a fight last week but it was over Counter Strike and it was between two Korean men in their 20s. It was pretty funny |
