That "it's fun to eat alone" seating area is so dystopian.

  It's because there is a weird thing in Korea about eating alone, people regularly come up to me and ask if i'm ok and if I want to come eat with them, it's not really done to eat alone in Korea...nobody has really ever been able to give me a proper reason as to why it's such a thing, but it's quite the thing.

    Really? Huh, that’s.. quite nice, actually

      Yes, Koreans are very very very kind, just super shy. Although it can be a little annoying as I'd hazard around 70-80% of the restaurants are not geared for solo eaters, there are some types of restaurant that are common and they wouldn't really be able to serve you because of how the grill systems work etc.
