DVD Rooms

A DVD room place is an establishment where you kind of rent a room for 2 hours after you pick out a movie. Once you're given a room, you go to the bathroom and settle into a built-in couch-like thing, turn off the lights, and wait for the projector to start.

The girls said that these rooms are basically used for sex since Koreans live with their parents and don't want them knowing what they're up to. Jong Seok propositioned me, and culturally speaking, yeah, it's typical to just have sex right away, and thanks to the American film industry, it's expected that foreigners do it, too. Unfortunately he didn't count on finding one of the few people who believes in waiting. The first hour was spent trying to keep him off of me, and the second was spent with his arm around me while we watched the movie. It's a shame the whole thing hadn't been like that.
