1: 호프- HOF, or Korean style drinking eshbalistment. It's not a place to come and mingle, but rather a place to relax with friends over beer, soju and anju (snacks to accompany your drinks)2: 모텔- Motel This one is directly translated from English to Korean. Love motels here are very common, but don't have quite as bad a reputation as they have in America. 3: 노래방- Norebang, or singing room. Basically, karaoke for Korea. A place to sing your heart out with friends in your own private room. No Karaoke bar here. 4:ë‹´ë°°- Dambae- Cigarettes. This one's not important for me, but if you're a smoker, this might be the first sign you will look for after stepping off the plane. If you see this sign outside a store, it means you can find your smokes within. 5: 부ë™ì‚°- Budongsan, Real Estate Office. While you might not need one while you're in Korea, you'll certainly see 6 on every city block. 6: 주차금지- Jucha-gumji, no parking. If you're driving around, this one might be important to recognize. It often is accompanied by another white sign with a picture of a tow truck, so it might be a little more recognizable. 7: 주차장- Jucha-jang, parking lot. Similar to number 6, if you're looking for a place to park, you'll need to remember this one. Parking tends to be in unlikely, or hard to find places in Seoul, so keep your eyes peeled. 8: ë³´ì‹ íƒ•- Boshintang, Dog meat soup. You'll want to remember this one, so as not to wonder in by accident. In my neighborhood, these restaurants are scattered about with all the other restaurants, so not recognizing this one could lead to a rather unpleasant surprise if you happen to be one of those folks who aren't looking to eat dog meat. And, no, you can't choose your own dog, so the sound of dogs being slaughtered here won't clue you in. 9: 미용실- Miyoungshil, hair salon. Everyone will need to get his or her hair cut at some point or another. If you have relatively easy to manage hair, there's no reason not to go to a normal Korean salon. If you have curly hair or are looking for colors or perms, go to someone who is accustomed to foreigners. 10: 세íƒ- Setak, dry cleaners. Dry cleaning is cheap and convenient, so don't hesitate to bring your clothes here if you want!
