Koreans and the internet

Internet technology is highly advanced in Korea.

But this fast internet means that Korean people can’t stand being kept waiting.

Also a lot of PC room make people computer obsessed.

This fast internet is helps our life but sometimes have a bad execution.

What is the beautiful side of Korean culture???

Korean has etiquette about drinking culture.

We have a difficult culture because foreigners say "cheers" while drinking alcohol, but Korean people said "건배(gunbei)" or "원 샷(one shot)".

And when drinking together , Korea people have several rules.

For example when you drink with a person who is older than you, you should drink with your head facing toward the opposite the person.

Because it is considered rude to directly face the person who you are drinking with.

Also, if you are drinking alcohol with someone older than you, you should hold under a wrist with another hand when a person who is older than you pour in your drinking cup.

Do the same thing when you pour for them.

Becaese using both hands means that you are showing respect them.

Take off your shoes in korean

When you visit a friend's home in Korea, you should take off your shoes.

Because Korean people like to sit on the floor.

but foreigners like to sit on the chair.

They should take off their shoes in before they entered the Korean living room.

So you check that your socks are clean and have no hole in them^^
