Korea has a rich arcade scene. It’s traditional for people to live with their families well into their 20’s, so places to hang out are limited to shopping areas, cafes, and arcades. I don’t mind this at all, since arcades in America are all but nonexistent! In Korea, an arcade essentially functions as a Dave & Buster’s. Here, you can gamble your coins for candy, sing karaoke, fail at endless claw machines, and waste at least $50. Men are always vying for the biggest stuffed animal win, and will inexplicably keep feeding coins into the machines until their girlfriend is satisfied at their hunting prowess. Did I mention the punching machines that further test the male ego? Honestly, the owners of arcades are experts in the human condition if you ask me.
