Seoul is the fifth most populous city in
the world it has some of the best street
food in Asia that being said there are a
number of cultural rules that might
surprise you here's everything you need
to know before going to Korea
number one drinking etiquette there are
a surprising number of drinking rules
when it comes to Korea but the main one
is that if a glass is empty you're
obligated to fill it especially if
you're younger than the person you're
drinking with that means that things can
get out of hand pretty quickly so if you
don't want to drink a lot make sure you
leave your glass half full in addition
in this when someone is pouring a glass
for you make sure to always receive the
glass with two hands to show respect and
again if the person you're drinking with
is older when you sip from the glass
turn your head slightly away from that

English: 
as another sign of respect you have to
be careful when drinking in Korea
because refusing a drink from someone
basically means that you don't want to
be friends with them and they'll take it
personally number two using chopsticks
the most common mistake people make
while using chopsticks in Asia is
leaving them sticking upright in a bowl
of rice and this act is actually part of
many Asian cultures funeral ceremonies
and should be avoided at all costs
number three seating in trains now it
may sound obvious to say not to sit in
the reserved elderly seating but in some
cultures like America you can take that
seat if there are no elderly present and
then just get up and move if someone
comes along
however in Korea that's absolutely not
acceptable and you'll likely be scolded
if you do that brings me to number four
don't talk on trains in most Asian
countries showing respect to those
around you is a big deal and you'll
notice that no one carries conversations

English: 
on trains little lone makes a phone call
this is seen as disrespectful of a
personal space of others so try to keep
a low profile number five don't leave a
tip while tipping in Korea isn't like
tipping in Japan where if you leave a
tip it's actually considered insulting
tips aren't expected or required here so
if you do decide to tip the amount is
totally up to you
I have no idea what half this stuff is
number six don't be afraid to shout at
your waiter while it may seem rude in
other countries in Korea the way to get
your waiters attention is by yelling the
reason for this is that waiters in Korea
will leave you alone for your meal which

English: 
means the only way to get their
attention is to either yell at them or
use one of the call buttons located on
the side of your table in some
restaurants number seven don't get into
a fight South Korea is one of the safest
countries in the world but their legal
system is unfairly biased against
international visitors and residents
begin to any altercations with Koreans
it's best to just walk away as the law
is likely to side with the Korean nearly
every time number 8 there's no such
thing as personal space Seoul has a
population of over 25 million people so
if you hate crowds this is gonna be a
tough one because of the sheer number of
people here being pushed or shoved isn't
considered rude and if anything is to be
expected so if you find yourself being
shoved or elbowed in a subway don't take
it personally number 9 don't write using
red ink Korean culture is very
superstitious and writing names in red
ink is thought to mean that the person
will die soon or that you want them to

English: 
die this tradition goes back hundreds of
years when the names the deceased were
written in red on gravestones to ward
off evil spirits
so next time you're writing a birthday
card in Korea maybe you hold off on
using red number 10 don't receive things
with one hand in case you can't already
tell Korea is all about respect and part
of that comes from understanding how to
give and receive things in most Asian
cultures receiving things with one hand
is considered insulting and rude
receiving things with two hands shows
respect the person giving you something
that's why a lot of times when you get
changed back from someone even a cashier
they'll hold one arm out with the money
and then use their other arm to touch
that arm to show their respect so keep
in mind whenever receiving anything
always receive it with two hands whether
it be a drink a bill or any other kind
of gift
last but not least number 11 always
share Koreans have a special concept of

English: 
sharing called Jeon and it's difficult
to translate into English but it
basically means the connection between
people in this society if you don't
share it you'll be seen as greedy which
means you have little or no Jeon and in
order to travel in Korea it's important
to be aware of this aspect of their
culture and that's about it if you made

really means a lot
