What is sogae-ting?
On every Saturday, many cafes and hotel lounges in Korea are crowded with young people on blind dates. The word sogae-ting is the term combined of words sogae (meaning an introduction in Korean) and –ting (a shortened form of an English word ¡®meeting¡¯). The word sogae-ting is equivalent to a blind date but its connotation is not that simple. Many words ending with the letter ¡®ting¡¯ used in Korean usually involve meeting someone and may sound exotic and strange to foreigners. For example, there are words like ¡®meet-ting, sogae-ting, phone-ting, chat-ting, hunt-ting¡¯ in Korean. Usually, these words are used in connection with interactions between men and women. These kinds of words continually crop up and disappear from time to time. What is the difference between sogae-ting and meet-ting? In short, sogae-ting is more like a one-to-one blind date. (¡¦)

Is it true that there are more black sedans in Korea than any other countries? There are quite a number of students who ask me why there are so many black sedans in Korea. This is a very interesting question but it is actually not an accurate observation. According to some statistics, approximately 35% of all cars in Korea are silver while 15% are white and 10% are blue and black, respectively. Red cars, a color favored by Italians, are very rare in Korea. Why then do foreigners think there are so many black cars in Korea? (¡¦)

Why do Koreans like to go to a jjimjilbang just to lie on the floor?
Jjimjilbang which is translated as ¡°hot sauna¡± does not fail to astonish first-time visitors of Korea. In fact, jjimjilbang has become a mandatory course for foreigners who want to experience Korean culture. The fact that jjimjilbang is spreading to places like America as well as Malaysia is something Koreans are very proud of.
Then what are Korean Hot Saunas like and why do Korean people go there to relax their back muscles? First, we have to understand Korea¡¯s ondol culture. For Koreans who have developed a peculiar heating system of heating the floors, lying on a warm floor is considered to be good for their health and is thought to be the basic but most essential aspect of comfortable lifestyle.
