DVD Room

Today my Korean cousin, Minhee, came to Ilsan from Seoul with her husband to spend the day with me. I was actually not too excited about having them come only because neither of us can communicate the other language very well, but the day ended up being really fun! They took me out to lunch and then I showed them some of the shopping areas in Ilsan. We wanted to see a movie in the theater but there was nothing that we wanted to see, so we settled for a DVD room. This is SO awesome. It is a place where you go and there is a wall that is lined with DVD’s (mainly American) and you choose the DVD you want to watch. The DVD room we had went to had a good selection of DVDs. The movies were mainly all new releases and oldies but goodies. They then take you to this hallway that is lined with little closed off rooms. Inside the room are a large comfortable couch that you can lay on and a large projector screen. You can also buy snacks and refreshments before you go into your room as well. It was extremely nice because it was just very comfortable and had no distractions. My cousin and her husband really wanted to watch a horror film so we chose to watch Hostel 2. The movie was a disappointment but the experience wasn’t. DVD rooms are ALL over Korea so it is very easy to find one nearby. This is the first one I have actually been in. The price for the DVD room all together was 17,000 won. It was a little pricy but cheaper than three tickets to go see a movie at the movie theater.





Afterwards, I took them to see Lake Park in Ilsan. Lake Park is a man made lake and is absolutely gorgeous. It has a large path that runs all around it and the water is crystal clear. This is a picture of my cousin and her husband at Lake Park.
