Drinking habits. KONBE!
by crazyguitar
Never serve drink to yourself!
In a Korean meal you have to wait until someone serves you the drink, then you have to serve the other one. As far as I know drinking alcohol, I´m not sure about non-alcoholic drinks.
Once both of you have full glasses you can say: Konbe! (Cheers) and drink.
There is a mixed drink called "bomb", it contains a small glass of Soju inside a bigger glass of beer. It´s extremly dangerous... one shoot! dangerous...
The most popular beer brand is OB Lager, pretty good!
Rally Capital of the World

South Koreans Are Known as enthusiastic Rallyists and in Seoul, almost everyday of the year there are rallies that have causes as diverser as anti-us beef, presidential resignation, anti-globalisation, anti-north korea, etc. hence the signature rally capital of the world!
mountainbiking --> Umyeonsan
by schwein
Trails on Umyeonsan are best suited to an XC or trailbike. There are chundery trails suitable for a big-bike, but they are pretty short, and are more fun on a mid-travel fully. Most of the trails are smooth singletrake, between the odd small chunky rock feature.
Ridgeline trails will eventually run into the odd empty bunker, which are there for the defence of the base/mountain if North Korea ever attacks again... would be a fun area for paintball.
