After visiting her real estate agent, she learned that those locks use 9V batteries to give the lock just enough charge to let you into the house.

Many Korean homes have heated floors that people utilize in winter. They don’t want to waste money heating the floor while they’re out and about, so they’ll turn it on again once they get home but it takes about two hours to heat up. Megan shared that once when she was on her way to work, she threw her blanket on the floor before leaving and found that the floor was still warm when she got home! So, now she lays a blanket out before turning off the heat and leaving so that she has a warm spot to come back to until the rest of the apartment heats up after she returns home.

Megan shared that to-go lunches and snacks sell out quickly at the convenience store around lunchtime, and what you can do to circumvent the frustration on missing out on your favorite meal is by pre-ordering it using the convenience store’s app!
