Sauna

One of the best Korean inventions I think is 24-hour open sauna. We call it "찜질방(Jjimjilbang)."After clubbing or drinks, sometimes I go to this non-stop sauna with my friends for hot bath and a place to sleep over a night. This place is also for families so they go there and talk to each other late at night. The most brilliant part is that it ony costs 5.5 euros per night, including two towels and a clean T-shirt and shorts. Quite cheap, isn't it?

The red sign in the dark is "한증막", meaning 'sauna' and it was around 2h30.

Toothpick

Toothpicks are one of typical things you can find in Korean restaurants. The restaurants used to offer wooden toothpicks, but since it was criticised as eco-unfriendly, they have been replaced by ones made of starch. It isn't a pleasant scene in which people pick food between their teeth standing in front of the mirror at the gate of a restaurant, but also it is a sight I have become to adore in Korea because it seems quite human to me.
