I've had a great amount of fun so far in South Korea, and also feel that I have been learning many things. However, there are some things that I still am unsure about. If any of you have input on my questions, I would love to hear from you :)!
The main topic I wonder about is the drinking/night-life culture of South Korea. While the night-life culture seems to be very visible, I question how many Koreans actually participate within it. This may be a generalization, and please correct me if I am wrong, but from previous experiences I've come to believe that Koreans tend to be shy. Perhaps Koreans use drinking as a means of loosening up a bit, but I'm not quite sure. I know back at the University of Michigan, drinking is popular amongst students because it allows them to feel more free and relaxed on the weekends, where they just want to enjoy themselves.
However, there are also many students at the University of Michigan who do not participate in drinking for a variety of reasons. Is this the same at SNU, and if so, is this just a very small amount or a sizable minority that is drowned out by the visible majority? Also, as a side-question, I was wondering what some students like to do at night if they do not participate in the drinking/clubbing culture. Any help would be appreciated, thanks :)!
