So That's Where It Is / Fusion

I was an exchange student to Yonsei University a few years back which is rivals with Korea University, who compete with each other for the position of second best university in the country. It is deeply ingrained in Koreans this sense of hierarchy. You can very easily find out that Seoul is the largest city with Busan as the second and Incheon as the third. On Inha University's website they proudly proclaim they are within the top ten list of universities in the country.
With that in mind, Yonsei had a social life outside of the campus that was incredible. Tons of student prices restaurants, Hofs, karaoke rooms, DVD rooms, etc etc. I have been sorely disappointed in Korea University's ability to have such an environment. I live across the street and there are maybe 12 restaurants scattered around and not a single karaoke room in sight.
And then I found it, about half a mile away, tucked down a side street, like walking through the Secret Garden I found the oasis of student restaurants and higher end restaurants. I ate at a chicken restaurant that turned out to be on the higher end. Instead of flagging down a worker to refill your glass, there is a button built into your table that you push. Oh yeah, living it up~
Deciding to go all out, I went to a coffee shop and continued studying my old Korean notes. Coffee shops here are fun. An Iced White Chocolate Mocha is pronouned Icied Whiate Chocoleate Moka in Korean. Coffee shops and American fast food shops have all romanized their menus, making it very easy for folks like myself to know exactly what I am getting.

Korea is like a sponge in terms of culture and language. New items introduced to Korea within the last century have traditionally taken the name from where it was from; radio, television, apartment, coffee, sofa, internet, etc. But it seems that English words are now replacing some current Korean words in terms of usage. Gag (joke), comedy, drama, special, menu, fusion, fighting, and concert are all English words that are becoming Korean.
This should not be a surprise though as Korea has blended it's culture mainly from China and Japan (who was founded by China) as far back as I think it dates.
The English language has done this itself taking words from a large variety of languages; so it is not like it is any different.
