What are south Koreas customs and cultures?

Answer 1

South Korea's culture is rich and centuries old. Colourful traditional clothing. Old, traditional music is twangy and "interesting."

Can you handle spicy food? If you can, order dakkkalbi (stir-fried chicken with chili pepper paste) in any restaurant. Or get a portion of ddeokbokki (rice with spicy sauce) from a street vendor.

The alphabet might look tough to learn (like Chinese or Japanese), but it's not. With only 24 letters (14 consonents & 10 vowels), you could learn it in an afternoon. Better still, words are made logically and you can practice sounding out words as you drive past on a bus.

To not offend anyone, be sure to leave your shoes at the door. Never mock anything. Save "face" however possible between friends (never embarrass, even teasingly). Remember that North Koreans are, above all, Koreans, too.

Very interesting country to visit. I lived there for 1 year and loved it. Shame on me for not returning yet, but I hope you can.
