Have found that all of them require you to sit at a table and order about W30,000 worth of drinks and a side dish. Much different from your disco night club in western countries where you are let in to kind of stand around until you are able to pick up somebody.

Every one also seems to dance, and they actually enjoy themselves. They have fun which is pleasntly surprising. Seems as though they don't go to try and perve on some other person or persons. The meetings I have since learned are done by bookings wherein you pass a message on to some one else through one of the waiters.

Have noticed at times that the odd group of military waeguks are at the occasional night discoe. When they all dance to-gether though they are way out of synch with the music. The Koreans seem to have the better moves, and they always look on very humourously.

There seem to be nightclubs or at least discoes galore in every Korean town. They got em for the oldies the grandparent types and the younger highschool to university age groups. Have noticed that the men aren't afraid to get up and dance in a group too. It's somerhing that would be considered bizarre at your normal western nihght club, but here of course it's accepted as the norm.

I've notived that they have a lot iof dance halls for older middle aged people to dance to the slower more tradional type of music. They are also, I have heard, pick up places for the older people. The men congregate outside, and wholf whistle the adjumas or adjumonies as they enter. ( If they happen to be good looking that is)

This worked for me: The place is full, the bouncer tells you "no tables", you walk right past him like you're meeting friends. Then you just hang out on the dance floor American style. You can't order drinks tho, if you don't have a table so you have to go there already juiced. On the plus side you can't order side dishes either!
Another con, the music stops for twenty minutes every hour leaving you standing around like a chump unless you have the balls to sit at someone's table and introduce yourself which I do not.

Korean nightclubs are completely mental, but great fun. They are somewhat at a tangent to Western nightclubs and despite the thrusting and bare (male) chests of the onstage dancers, always seem a lot more wholesome than many Western nightclubs. And they are always vast - like airport hangars. Playing the most ludicrous bouncy-pop-ubertechno imaginable. There are also approximately 80 waiters for each customer.

I've actually never seen any waegukins in one before, aside from myself, although perhaps that's just chance and because I'm in Daegu.

If you want to pick up, you need to get in with the waiters. They are your friend. I was once with some very slick Korean guys too, whereby we had a private room and had a new girl brought to us every 20 minutes.

Korean nightclubs would never work in the West.
