Sleeping on the floor....(?)



I saw that in hostels or hotels, the boy sleep, eat, and watch TV siting or laying on the floor.

Is this normal in Korea, or is this only for this movie....??

This is very common in most Asian cultures. Tables are usually set very low to the ground, or in some cases they just use the ground and people group around sitting or kneeling. It is also very common to sleep on mats which they roll up and put away during the day. Most of the tables and beds and even toilets which sit above ground are still considered "western" fair.

Thanks so much.
I knew something about this, but I though that it was only a home tradition, not for hostels or hotels.

I slept at one Japanese hotel once where it almost seem like I was sleeping on the floor, but I remenber I still had a good nights rest.
