Korea Tips of the Day: Re-charge your phone at restaurant or café for free

()

There are few things that cause panic on a sightseeing trip. Your phone about to die and not having a portable charger or cord is one of them. In Korea, however, many restaurants and cafés offer a free phone-charging service. So, while you re-charge with a coffee or delicious meal, your phone can do the same. To use this service, simply ask an employee at the cashier counter whether they have a charger or not. Most newer or popular establishments have a charger station available.

Ask an employee to charge your phone!
