Broadcasting
media including the Internet are somewhat accurate methods to
understand South Korean society and the current economic and political
situation. It is also ideal for collecting detailed information
assuming you don't rely exclusively on the Internet for your information,
as many Korean sites for Seoul are exclusively in Korean.
PC
Rooms (PC Bang)
You
can use the Internet in PC rooms easily found in many areas. You
will pay about 1,000 South Korean Won to 2,000 South Korean Won
per hour. Some places offer discounts for frequent use. Many are
open 24 hours. If you are not a smoker, be prepared for a lot
of smoke at times. PC rooms are normally packed full of smokers,
people snoring, and kids on skates. Some people even bring their
small dogs.
