- Korean age. Korea has a breakdown into Korean and international age. Here the child who was born on December 31, the next day will be considered a 2-year old. The fact is that when a child is born, the Koreans already believe that he is one year old, and on January 1, regardless of the date of birth, all residents of the country become older for a year.
- Here you can forget about the usual green or black tea. Even the tea, which will be marked on the packet green, is actually a mixture of green with, for example, rice tea. Also here you can try a variety of incomprehensible teas, including pure onion.
- Most Koreans are Catholics. The number of churches per square meter here is just off scale.
- If you've ever watched a Korean film, you should have seen that in the movies they constantly eat ramen (instant noodles or doshirak). In real life, they eat it even more than in the movies. Even at a football match, a huge number of people can sit and chew noodles from cans.
- Red color is considered "good", green is "bad". Those. tablets from the "danger" series are likely to be written in green.
- In Korea, it is almost impossible to find anything with the inscription "Made in China", on all products, as a rule, is stamped "Made in Korea". And, in my opinion, this is very cool!
- English is not good here, although studying it is one of the most popular hobbies at the moment. Parents try to ensure that children learn the language from a young age so that in the future they can get a more decent job. Even if the work does not require English, first hire an employee, who knows this language (though, it is unclear why).
- The Korean language was invented to displace the Chinese, which was (and is) much more difficult than Korean and which was difficult to learn by ordinary people.
- Light metro in some parts of Korea goes without the machinists. This is a cosmos, although we have already seen it in Malaysia.
10.If you eat rice with a fork, most likely someone will start to laugh. If rice is not eaten with chopsticks, it will be eaten with a spoon. The fork will seem strange to them. - There are not very many foreigners here and they are directly liked, but no one will rush to take pictures with you or try to make an inconspicuous self with you, as was done in some other countries.
- The financial sector receives state support.
- Food here ranges from moderately acute to super-acute.
- One of the most popular dishes after a working day is the chicken - fried chicken + beer. Well, do not forget about kimchi - pickled vegetables (cabbage or radish), without this snack can not do any food intake.
- There is Russian! Due to the fact that during the war between North and South Korea, many Koreans fled to the USSR, and now their children and grandchildren are returning to Korea, Russian speech and signs in Russian can be met quite often. In Busan, for example, there is even a Russian street.
- It is very clean, and the culture of sorting and processing of garbage is at a very high level.
- In the Korean language, some crazy amount of civility styles. 18. Talking in Korean, to choose the right form, you should always take into account a lot of details, such as age, social status and God knows what else, but it's also necessary. Often the elder will be right. And a point.
- Greetings, saying goodbye, thanks, you always bow. I adore this part of the culture and already bowing with great vigor in conversation and receive the same courtesy in return.
- Samsung and only Samsung - the most popular brand in Korea, no iPhones. This country really supports its producers, although it is not difficult, because Korean brands are really high-quality (LG, KIA, HYUNDAI).
- Using a transport card, you will pay almost twice as much for travel as when paying with cash (provided that you are traveling more than one transport).
- Korean cosmetics is love and advice to try it. It is high-quality and affordable. Here I really fell in love with taking care of my skin, from the country I take away a whole suitcase of various means, masks and creams.
- K-POP culture and Korean dramas are firmly intertwined with the lives of ordinary Koreans. Hairstyles, style of clothes for actors and singers, as well as accessories are copied by almost everyone, so in Korea now most boys, boys and men go with a haircut in the shape of a pot, girls also go mostly with loose long hair with or without bangs. The form of the glasses is universal for all - ala Harry Potter. Makeup - different shades of red lipstick. Grandmothers go with a short haircut and curly girls. Even in Korea, you will not see not that the bearded men, but even a light stubble, only smooth-shaven faces.
The most popular alcoholic drink - soyju (approximately 20 degrees) costs about 1 euro, a can of beer costs from 2.5 euros and above. Wine and champagne - generally wild luxury - from 10 euros and above. The most popular non-alcoholic drink is coffee.
