Spend Saturday Night Like A True Korean

From a young age, Koreans spend hours upon hours at school, at after school classes, in private tutoring, and at home doing homework. Once they enter the working world, it’s not uncommon to work 12 hour days, to go into the office on Sundays, or to take only a few days of vacation a year. Koreans work hard, to put it lightly.

A typical night in Korea involves changing venues multiple times, with each venue being referred to as a different step, or cha. If you're traveling through Korea and want to experience a typical night out, follow this guide and you'll soon be having the time of your life.
