Cultural notes

Checking out of a South Korean hotel or guesthouse is generally an incredibly swift and frictionless process, largely because there is no tipping culture and extra room charges are strictly regulated. The official check-out time (체크아웃 - Chekeu-aut) is usually 11:00 AM, and Korean establishments are notoriously punctual about this. If you oversleep and ask for a late check-out (레이트 체크아웃 - Reiteu chekeu-aut), you will almost certainly be charged an additional fee per hour. Once you hand over your room key, you might want to spend the rest of the day exploring the city unburdened. Fortunately, South Korea is a highly trusting society, and leaving your luggage at the front desk (짐 보관 - Jim bogwan) is a completely standard, complimentary service. You simply ask: 짐을 맡길 수 있나요? (Jimeul matgil su itnayo? - "Can I leave my luggage here?"). The staff will give you a small numbered tag to retrieve it later. You can also ask the reception to arrange transportation to the airport, saying 공항 가는 택시를 불러 주시겠어요? (Gonghang ganeun taeksireul bulleo jusigesseoyo? - "Could you call a taxi to the airport?"). A fun and crucial cultural quirk relates to electricity. South Korea uses 220-volt outlets with two round holes (Type C/F), exactly like in Europe. If you are traveling from the US, UK, or Australia, you cannot plug your devices into the wall. If you forgot your international adapter, you can ask the front desk to borrow one. In Korea, this plug adapter is affectionately and officially called a "Pig Nose" (돼지코 - Dwaejiko) because the two round holes resemble a pig's snout! Just ask 돼지코 빌릴 수 있나요? (Dwaejiko billil su itnayo?) and they will happily lend you one for your stay.
