What You Can Do and You Can't Do In Korea

Korea is a super power country which still maintain its cultures and manners. Korean always preserve their good manners, from the youngers to the elders. It seems like a general positive stereotype which had to know by every individual in society. In spite of the different mindset between the elders and the youngers, they can still gather each other. The reason why they have good communication is because the younger always respect the elders while the elders always appreciate the youngers. This is the list of korean etiquette and manners which i had learned when i was there :

1. When meeting someone for the first time, a little bow, put a smile, and say hello in korean is needed to make a good impression.
2. Whoever you talk to, always use the formal sentence to introduce yourself.
3. Wherever you are, always wear an appropriate dress.
4. When an older person gives a something to you, receive it with both of your hands
