    I'm just shocked that you've even discovered the existance of gosiwon - It's actually a form of bare-minimum accomodation for young adults who are either cramming for an exam(hence the name 'gosi', Korean term for government-conducted exams) or have just moved out & can't afford a proper place yet.

    I was utterly blown away by how affordable Korea was. I didn't go bare bones on anything while I was there and kept everything within a reasonable balance of budget friendly and "splugering" and I still spent a fraction of what I would spend here in the states.

    Tourism industry in my country mainly focus on foreigners visitors (mainly on China). More of us locals traveling to Thailand than our own country, Malaysia as it's a cheaper option. The costs of foods is normal though BUT the price of hotels, homestay, lodging etc. is too pricey for us.
    Malaysia is the foods heaven, not much for sceneries and activities.

Also some cold brew shops that isn't really cafes but more of "bring your own thermos and we will fill it up" places. Those are nice.
