December is the month for year-end.It's also the busiest season at room salons, where men often follow get-togethers to help keep the party going 홍대룸싸롱.
Married women may in contrast to the theory, but you will find a large number of room salons in Seoul alone. And these bars are not your typical watering holes -- they're strictly for guys, and included in their high prices may be the companionship of giggling young hostesses.
Unsurprisingly, in a country that has online clubs for everything, an Internet site for room salons is up.You'll see an inventory of all salons in that area, with addresses, phone numbers, prices and photos. Click your solution to the Gangnam district alone and 253 salons come up. One typical such salon, Kaos, charges at the least 270,000 won ($225) for 2 men, which includes a tiny bottle of whiskey, side dishes, soft drinks and a couple of new friends. But don't enter there thinking you'll move out with only that damage to your credit card. A morning can quickly run to 10 times that amount.
A worker at a room salon in Gangnam, Choi Hyun-woo, 28, said the Internet site brings in perhaps half the club's business. The site provides more than basic information; it also has a "community" of members and a spot where they are able to post messages.
One thing the male members of the site like to complete is what they call a "lightning bolt." One will ask if anybody really wants to join him for a program at an area salon. Another will agree. Chances are they pick a salon and a period to meet, the sooner the better.
At the site's message board is one other side of the story, as the ladies who work in the salons tell about their experiences, hopes, and frustrations.
One hostess, with the member name "Star," said in an article: "Although I'm really hungover now, I'm stronger because I'm earning lots of money. It's good that we have this web site where we are able to encourage each other."
Another complained about a particularly rude band of customers: "I've been doing this for couple of years, but that is initially I've been asked to complete something which was significantly more than weird."
The only thing conspicuously missing from your website is advice for guys to follow along with to be sure they don't go house with lipstick on their collars.
