Things to do in Korea: 002 Go to a PC Bang (PC방)
Star Craft anyone? A PC Bang is an internet café that a lot of Korean students use today. You’ll find them all over Seoul and all of Korea for that matter. If you ever see the letters “P” and “C” you can bet your Kimchi that its a PC Bang. You can go there to access the internet and play computer games.
Be careful with your sensitive information like credit card and banking information. You can’t trust all PC Bangs to have high quality security.
One more thing to note is that a lot of them have tons of smoking area. If you’re a smoker you’ll feel right at home. However, for those of us who dislike the smell newer PC Bangs have non-smoking sections. Although, sometimes you can still smell smoke on your clothes when you leave.
Where: Essentially everywhere in Korea
How Much: Most of the time 1,000 won, however there are new “luxury” PC Bangs that cost more.
