1/27 What do you normally do at coffee shops?

Coffee shops are everywhere in Korea these days.

* be everywhere: 도처에 있다

ex> Fast food restaurants are everywhere in the downtown area.

I mostly go to coffee shops to chat with friends or colleagues.

We typically go after meals to get coffee or tea. We sometimes get coffee to go.

* get coffee to go: 커피를 테이크 아웃하다

ex> I just got coffee to go because I was in a hurry.

We sometimes drink it there on the spot. Other than that, I just go to coffee shops to kill time.

* on the spot: 그 자리에서

ex> The barista brewed the coffee on the spot.

If I have to wait for a friend or something, I most typically wait at a coffee shop. My friends do the same thing.

I also go to coffee shops to have study sessions.

* have study sessions: 스터디 모임을 갖다

ex> I suggested having study sessions for more efficiency.

They have wireless Internet at most places these days, so I sometimes get some work done on my laptop.
