There are even different locales - the couple’s bedroom is meant to resemble a Bali resort, while the living room has been designed on the lines of Hawaii. Hanssem Co Ltd, South Korea’s largest home furnishing company, said that the number of houses they have refurbished in the second quarter of 2020 tripled from a year earlier, leading to a 172% jump in its consolidated operating profit.Other couples considering extreme staycation ideas need not look so far afield for inspiration.

They’re now on their second weekend home-camping trip. With folding chairs, picnicware and at least 15 different types of twinkling lanterns, the couple settled in on a rainy Saturday evening to enjoy cooking gambas al ajillo, a Spanish garlic shrimp dish, and pasta on a portable stove. Che and Lee had to wait two to three months to purchase their tents, folding table and stove, as South Koreans, normally among the top ten spenders on tourism globally according to the World Bank, splurged on equipment to make up for missed overseas trips.

Korean dudes are ptobably the smartest dudes living on this planet. Their dirt poor siblings in the north build nuclear forces with 0 down but their super brain (does any see their own latest SLBM sub?). Now Samsung comes with its new super modular TV. Boy, it's cool to the max!

How the elite live!! 1 per center? SHAMFULL.x

Same with me. I play beaches video on tv with audio set. Turn on fan so it's like the wind is blowing. And drinking coconut water. What I need next is to install pool in my living room...

I'm going to Sweden for my staycation, got my IKEA catalog right here.

Wait until they have kids

Remind me of the episode of Alf where the Tanner's home was transformed into their honeymoon hotel

Who the fuck can afford to do this?!

I don't think I could do that. I don't think I could even fit that kind of 184' TV in my home. (Not actually 184', but still...)

You don´t need to go outside to have fun.

This has got to be one of the stupider ideas I've seen in a while

Reminded me of the movie 🎥 parasite. 😂🤣
