In Korea, the elderly are given special respect. They can stop smoking in front of the old people and take off their sunglasses when talking to them. Being a guest at a friend's house is called a country of etiquette. Koreans attach great importance to the cultivation of etiquette and morality, and respecting the elderly is a traditional etiquette that Koreans abide by. Koreans are very hospitable. Every time a guest visits, a welcoming ceremony with appropriate specifications will always be held according to the identity of the guest. When receiving foreign heads of state, a grand farewell ceremony should be held in accordance with international practice. Hundreds of thousands of people walked the streets to welcome or send off, and the scene was grand. No matter what occasion they meet foreign friends, Koreans are always polite, warm greetings, well-spoken, take the initiative to give way and wave goodbye. When inviting Korean friends to be guests, the host should make full preparations in advance and clean the yard inside and outside. Koreans have a strong sense of time. People always wait for their guests at the appointed time, and some families even welcome them outdoors. When the guests arrived, their host bowed to welcome them and warmly welcomed them into their home with drinks, fruits and so on. Koreans have always been generous in hospitality, and the host always wants to keep guests for dinner. Many families also want to let distant guests stay at home for a few days and entertain them with rich meals. Korean social etiquette and eating habits Koreans like to entertain guests with dog meat. When a guest comes, buy a dog, kill it, and boil it into dog broth with the skin, with cold salad. Will entertain guests to drink, tear dog meat and drink broth. To make pork soup, you should use the original soup of cooked dog meat, add shredded dog meat, refined salt, Chili powder, coriander, shredded onion and cooked sesame seeds, mix well, and then add soy sauce, mustard sauce, chives and Chili powder at will. It is fresh and salty. Its delicious cooked dog meat is shredded, and then shredded onion, Jiang Mo, minced garlic, coriander, salt, cooked sesame seeds and edible meat are added. Cooked dog heart, kidney, liver, etc. You can slice it, or you can add the above seasonings and mix it into a dish. These are also traditional dining tables for entertaining guests. There are two internal structures of Korean restaurants: using chairs and taking off shoes to get on the kang. When eating on the kang, the man sits cross-legged and the woman stands on her right knee-this sitting posture is only used when wearing Hanbok. Nowadays, Korean women generally don't wear hanbok, just fold their legs and sit down. After a good meal, in a short time, the aunt in the restaurant will take the tableware out of the tray first, and then the dishes will be served. Koreans usually use flat-headed stainless steel chopsticks. Both China and Japan have the habit of eating with rice bowls, but Koreans think this behavior is not standardized. You can stop touching your work with your mouth. A bowl with a round bottom and a cover is placed on the table, but there is no handle for you to hold. In addition, the heat transferred from the rice to the bowl makes it reasonable not to touch it. As for the bowl cover, you can take it off and put it on the table at will. Since it is improper, your left hand must be obedient, honestly hidden under the table, and never put your hand out on the table. Be sure to pick up the spoon in your right hand, take a sip of soup from pickles, then take a sip of rice with the spoon, then take another sip of soup and rice, and then you can eat whatever you want. This is the order in which Koreans eat. Spoons are more important than chopsticks in Korean diet. Responsible for serving soup, catching soup and serving rice. When not in use, it should be placed on a rice bowl or other utensils. And chopsticks? She is only responsible for picking vegetables. No m

When not serving, the traditional Korean way is to put it on the table in the right hand direction. Two chopsticks should be put together, two thirds on the table and one third under the table, so that they can be picked up and reused. Koreans are an emotional people. We should fully understand how to express our feelings by eating, and at the same time, we should rationally admit that this is an unsanitary eating ceremony. Korean Drinking Etiquette If there are distinguished guests in the Korean family, the host will feel very honored and usually treat them with good wine and food. Guests should drink as much as possible and eat more vegetables. The more you eat, the more proud your master will be. Koreans are very polite when drinking. At the banquet, wine is poured in order of status, status and seniority. The person with the highest status raises his glass first, and the others raise their glasses in turn. If the qualifications are too different, they may not be able to drink at the same table. Under special circumstances, juniors and seniors can drink with their backs to their faces. Traditionally, right is better than left, so it is considered impolite to hold a cup or wine with your left hand. With permission, subordinates and juniors can propose a toast to their superiors and seniors. The toaster holds the bottle in the right hand and the bottom of the bottle in the left hand, bows forward, makes a speech, and pours wine for superiors and seniors. Three cups in a row, but the toaster didn't. Don't drink. It should be noted that when people of different status drink and clink glasses together, people with lower status should hold the glass lower, touch the other side's cup body flush with the rim of the cup, and don't touch it flat, let alone hold the glass higher than the other side, otherwise it will be rude.

4. What should I pay attention to when traveling to Korea?

Recently, more and more friends have come to South Korea for free travel, especially the girls born in 1980s and 1990s. Hahaha because I have lived in Korea for many years and like to travel, I often contact some friends who come to Korea for free travel. Sometimes, I will help them show the way and translate something. Many girls who come here can't speak Korean at all, and their English is poor ~ Can I come to Korea to travel freely? Haha, this problem must be bothering some eager friends. Today I will introduce this problem to you for your reference. I hope it will help you a little! 1. Chinese characters were used for transportation in ancient Korea, but there were only traditional Chinese characters at that time. Later, King Sejong created Korean, which replaced Chinese characters as soon as it came out. However, Korea still uses traditional Chinese characters, which many Korean elderly people will know. Korean primary schools also have Chinese character tests, so you will see some traditional Chinese characters on the street and on the subway.

For example, Dongdaemun

There is also a simplified version, so you only need a Chinese version of the subway map at this time. The subway in Korea is very convenient, and all the scenic spots are near the entrance of the subway station, so you must have the China version of the subway map when you come.

There are also airport buses, because they are specially prepared for foreigners, so there will be Chinese, English and Korean, so don't worry. Except the airport bus, other buses and buses generally don't want me to have no Chinese. Of course, China tourists generally choose subway and ta.

What are the commonly used mobile apps for finding hotels or floor shops? This is also a question asked by many friends. Better ask me to accompany you (help you answer online), Google Maps, where to go, and so on. In fact, the location map of WeChat is already very developed. I often use WeChat, but only friends can share your location. But what if there are a lot of road crazy friends? Haha, many friends will contact the local car rental service in Korea online simply for convenience. Don't worry about this situation ~ all the way is unimpeded ~2. In order to provide convenience for China, many important Korean scenic spots are marked in Chinese. Take Mingdong as an example. 90% of the streets come from China, and the streets in the shops are all in Chinese. Ha ha ha, yes, China people have changed Korea.

There will also be people from China in the street.

There are few shops without China people. The picture below is posted on the door of a convenience store.

There are both Chinese and English, but it is worth noting that some small shops or scenic spots are not very famous. Don't do this if you win. In fact, you need to download an online translator or a Korean-English dictionary on your mobile phone, so you can use it.

3. restaurants. I took photos from the menus of several restaurants in Myeongdong. It's all in Chinese, English and Korean, so don't worry about the language. Most of the waiters in Myeongdong shop can also speak Chinese, and most of them are China compatriots. If you have any questions, you can ask them. If your English is good, you can also use English. To tell the truth, if you speak English, Koreans may not understand. Koreans have poor English and poor pronunciation. Koreans all know that China people (Hongkong, Macau and Taiwan Province Province) have good English! They feel inferior, but they can find confidence in the Japanese! hahaha

Don, don't you want to have fun after the trip? Hahaha, random routing and traffic attack rate are very important. What is the most convenient route to save time and money (for poor friends)? It is a question worthy of consideration by friends. If you are a road idiot, different words will dazzle you. What should you do? In order to provide convenience for tourists, Korea Tourism Bureau has set up many tourist information offices. There are many maps, routes, scenic spots and hotels in Chinese for tourists' reference. Of course, if there is no financial problem, you can contact a local tour guide in Korea, and they will tell you all the problems in Korea (routes, car rental, wifi, hotels, tickets) ~ for example, the following sports car tour, a travel consulting service company focusing on free travel in Korea.

There are also many volunteers on Mingdong Street to guide tourists. You can ask questions, even if you don't know the way, you can ask passers-by or police uncles. Koreans attach great importance to etiquette and will help you enthusiastically. Besides, we are foreigners, so don't worry too much ~ ~ Coincidentally, I met Ouba and Ernie in Hanbok in Myeongdong. They are volunteers for passers-by to travel freely in Korea. It is said that passerby travel is a famous company with its own.

Tourists have fun scanning the QR code ~ Uncle S's eyes over there are so obscene, hehe.

What a beautiful girl!

See the police car behind the tourists? The security of scenic spots in Korea is very good. There will be patrolmen. If you have any questions, you can consult the police uncle O~~

Being a volunteer in cold weather is also a helpful devotee, and I must feel warm in my heart.

Not every trip. I'm not talking about leaving. Be sure to get ready before you leave! If you are not ready, you will be very tired. Even if you can, I can't speak Korean, and your English is poor. It doesn't matter. As long as you get up the courage to prepare, you will have a relaxing trip and leave good memories ~ Come on! See you in Korea!
