As with other places around the world, food's getting expensive in Korea, too. Sounds like the perfect opportunity to go on a starvation diet. Save some money. Anyway, the belt-tightening has created a necessity, and necessity is the mother of invention, hence the "beggars' map." If it's a app, I couldn't find it at the Google Play store. I do know, from the linked blog post, that it's at least a website. And out of curiosity, I looked up whether there were any cheap places close to me, and there's one. So to anyone in search of a cheap meal: Happy hunting.
Warning: The map itself warns that some more expensive eateries are submitting their own names in an attempt to appear on the map, so proceed with caution. The map is crowdsourced, and there are apparently ways for the mapmakers to vet any given place being submitted for consideration, so expect this to become an ever-escalating arms race as vetting methods improve. People really do ruin everything, don't they?
