Today I'm going to tell you about garbage. Sounds fun right? Well, here in Korea, you can't just go out and buy any old garbage bag. You have to buy the garbage bag that matches where you live. Each city/town/province has its own garbage bag. It's kind of crazy! There's also a special bag for food waste. It's yellow! Additionally, recycling must also be separated out from the garbage but you can put that in whatever kind of bag you want.
Now, there are special garbage bags but there really aren't any dumpster-esque things outside of apartments to put these oh so special garbage bags. You end up just setting them all in a pile on the side of the road or in front of your apartment or wherever everyone seems to be piling them and then they are magically picked up in a day or two. It's really interesting and feels super different from what I am used to in the US.
