Special Cultural Custom in Korea-I

Dec. 16, 2010 - PRLog -- Brushing Teeth

Some people may think it's nothing strange of brush one's teeth, but I've never seen any nation like South Koreas that interested in brushing very much. You can look through the Korean people carry any package, another may not, but the toothbrush is bound to happen. They have a toothbrush at home, the office has a toothbrush, bag with a toothbrush, a hotel there are many Toothbrush Vending Machine (South Korea hotels, and many foreign countries, like the hotel does not provide a free toothbrush. They will brush your teeth as long as the meal, so In South Korea, is often seen dangling from the toothbrush in the bathroom the toilet people, and a brush for hours. I have met a Korean brushing in the bathroom, I have finished the whole process out, he was still brush. In Korea, the teeth not embody the tutor and training issues, so the vast majority of Korean people's teeth are very white and healthy.

Drinking and Smoking

Koreans really have a lot of customs and rules on drinking. juniors and seniors in front of senior drinking, must be sideways, not facing seniors or elders. two or more people eat together, can not themselves pouring, this is disrespectful of each other. Many people say that Chinese people do not speak of Health. But you know, Korea drink, if you want that close. be sure to toast each other to take their own drinking cup. so many banquet, you will see a man holding his cup one by one toast, really can not adapt to the beginning. juniors can not smoke in front of the predecessors or elders, it is taboo. I remember a Korean student with the professor to go to Europe there had never been seen, that Korean students heavy smokers. So all day dodging the smoking professor, and even see the professor did not dare. frequently to the toilet, in fact hide smoking.


Holding People to Church


In Korea, many, many people were introduced to Christianity. Churches everywhere, you can use the "flood" to describe the word. and very devout, especially like pull people into the church. to South Korea's first six months, been to three churches were pulled. One is designed for foreigners to do the church, so I'm pretty keen to start, because you can practice English. But when I heard give me what is the baptism, I no longer dared to go. But the Korean side did not give up, taken the trouble to ask me every week to go, and then there activities are to call me, no way, I can only politely refused for various reasons, but useless. People are enthusiastic, but also not bad, I do not very hard to say. Fortunately, after six months, I really see no interest, no again to persuade we’ve ever seen exaggerated followers, is a Korean side of the road with a few other cars, a middle-aged woman walking past, suddenly came back, said something at us in Korean: May the Lord bless you! and then left. I have hesitated to be the whole hesitated to.
