DVD Bong

Today we went to our first DVD bong. The word "bong" in Korean means room. They have all kinds, like PC bongs (internet cafes), karaoke bongs (where you sing in your own private room), etc. It's really popular here because apartments/houses are so small that people usually go to a bong for some space. A lot of the teachers we work with go to DVD bongs often, so we decided to check it out for ourselves. We first went into a lobby area that looks like a video rental store, except with dimmed lights. Surprisingly, the movie selection was about 80% English movies! We chose a movie, "Juno," and gave it to the guy at the counter, along with 10,000 Won (about $10). He then brought us to our own private theater room with a big comfy couch and a huge projector screen with surround sound. It was heated and comfortable. I think we'll now be avid DVD bong goers!
