10magazine

I like pretty pictures and glossy paper. That’s why I enjoy the expatriate magazines in English in Korea. Most of them are free but some you have to pay for.

Here’s a list and their prospective websites in alphabetical order.

10 Magazine – Probably one of the highest quality magazines out there. You also have to pay for it. Free online after registration.

Eloquence – They don’t seem to have a website, but their quality has stepped up

Groove Magazine – This is your average party magazine with a lots of random information and things to do in Korea. You can read this online.

Seoul Travel and Culture – Also a very high quality magazine. It’s filled with the more cultured side of Korea. You can read this one online.

Things to do in Korea: 002 Go to a PC Bang (PC방)

July 3, 2008 by · 3 Comments

PC BangStar 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.
