Can I leave my laptop and go to the restroom?
One of the most shocking sights in Korean cafes is
people leaving their laptops and phones on the table to go to the restroom.
Are you worried someone might steal them?
In Korea, it is extremely rare for people to touch others' belongings.
Plus, there are CCTVs everywhere, so thieves get caught quickly.
There is even a joke among locals:
'Koreans won't steal your wallet or laptop, but they might steal your bicycle.'
So just watch out for your bike! Enjoy your trip with peace of mind.
Why walking at night isn't scary
Another joy of traveling in Korea is the 'Night.'
Even after midnight, streets are bright and full of people walking around.
There are CCTVs (security cameras) working 24/7 in every alley,
and police stations are everywhere, making it one of the safest countries.
Can't sleep?
Don't worry and go for a light walk.
Hangang Park or city streets are even more romantic at night than during the day.
The city's lighthouse: 24h Stores
Convenience stores (CVS) in Korea are like 'magic bases.'
Hungry at 3 AM? You can grab cup noodles and kimbap.
Got a sudden headache? You can buy basic medicine.
You can even charge your phone quickly,
or withdraw cash from the ATM inside.
Thanks to the bright lights of these stores on every corner,
the streets feel safer and brighter at night.
If you need anything anytime, run to a convenience store!
Need help? Call 112 or 119
If you have trouble in Korea, don't panic and remember these two numbers.
For police help: **112**
For fire or medical emergencies: **119**
Don't worry if you don't speak Korean.
They will connect you to a translation service
so you can get help in your language via 3-way call.
Don't hesitate to call in an emergency. Korean police and firefighters are very kind and fast!
