Episode 21: Korean.Americano. (Culture)

This week Jun and Daniel explore the cafe culture that exists in Korea. Rather than invite people into each other’s homes, in Korea it’s much more common to meet at a cafe instead. What are some of the driving forces behind this? What is the expectation when hosting people in your home? What is the expectation as a guest when you are invited to someone else’s home? What are some of the interesting types of cafes? Do Koreans still drink instant coffee after meals? What is the most popular coffee order in Korea? How do cafes in Korea differ from the US? What are kid cafes and why are they such a revelation? If you're interested in any of these questions, tune in to hear Daniel and Jun discuss all this and more! Also in this episode, Jun flexes his coffee knowledge and vents about a recent cafe trend he doesn’t like, while Daniel makes excuses for his poor guest behavior previously.Support the Show.As a reminder, we record one episode a week in-person from Seoul, South Korea.
