Korean Customs

After eight years in Korea, I want to bring you what I have experienced. Some of the information was edited from cultural notes available from Indiana University's East Asian Studies Center, but most is from my day to day observations.

In General

Let's find out some basic tips to survive this very different culture!

Respect

Confucianist roots are still strong in Korean culture.

Marriage

What? No wedding presents? Nope. But is cash okay? Oh, yes!

Dining

Still eating rice with chopsticks to impress your friends? Go native. Use a spoon.
