Probably a lot. I accidentally went to the ER once because it was after 5 PM so the hospital was closed and nobody spoke English well enough to explain what was up. It was just a normal sinus infection type visit that would run 10K at a doctor's office but it cost 150K there.

I think it's pretty random. When I sliced my head open, I got 7 staples and it cost like 15k. When I was bleeding to death, they stuff something in my nose and I sat there for an hour. Cost me 50k.

She spits half of the flavoured soju on his crotch... Also did she become popular so quickly from the facebook videos or what?

I think she went 'Internet mainstream' due to the gif of her dancing in ketchup, yeah. From there the goon hivemind has decided shes one of the funnier comedians in Korea.

Does funnier means having big boobs? Or just a statement on how dire most comedians here are? Cause otherwise idgi.

Ffffffuck. Always read the notes on app updates. Cause the notes in the last Jihachul update which I neglected to check until it was too late read: Added ads and the ability to remove ads with in-app purchases.

So just how cold is it in Seoul right now? Like snow on the ground every day? Decent in the day and cold at night?

Could I ride a skateboard around? Or too icy/snowy?

Checking the weekly forecast is making me hesitant to book a flight

I guess it's cold depending on what kind of winters you are used to, but there's no snow/ice on the ground right now.

If you're looking to skip winter you want like, Thailand. Korea doesn't get cold like it does in Real Winter but it's certainly not a winter escape destination. Also if it does snow or ice they have no loving idea what to do and the sidewalks/roads are a total mess.

If you really want to go to Korea for some reason and are trying to avoid winter, Jeju is as close as you're going to get. The southern coast also rarely gets snow.

Japan in winter is nice.

Japan I believe is wetter thanks to Pacific humidity. Seoul and most of Korea have a dry Midwestern winter. For the next two months, it will be around 0'C-8'C daily. There won't be any snow. Poor insulation in many buildings will make you feel that cold.

Also skating in Korea seems like an awful idea. Too many people and/or too much trash and/or crazy scooters, cars, or people in their phones like me.

This is really the thing about Korean winter. It isn't objectively that cold (even up in Seoul :colbert: ) but it's the pervasiveness of it since you're always in completely uninsulated cinderblock and concrete boxes. If a heater is on, the Koreans will either open the windows in order to ensure it doesn't actually heat anything or have it cranked so it's 100 degrees indoors while everyone is still wearing three coats.

Yup. I did it for about a month commuting to work and it was a nightmare here. The sidewalks are a million chances to jam up your wheels and the roads are not for people.

Again, Ulsan. Fromage you grew up 40 minutes from me. Saying Seoul doesn't get cold is just contrarian nonsense.
