First impressions II

There are many interesting things about corean people that I can't just ignore.

Female toilet in Nakwon Arcade. It's not thus
everywhere, but it is common.

First, the smell. When sweating, they exhale a different smell from the one I know. It's due to the spicy food they're used to eat. From sandwich to pizza and from noodles to meat, everything is spicy.

Then, there is another interesting thing. When a corean gives or receive something, be it money, food or any other thing, they use both hands to hold the object, as in an offering. When not the both, the left hand holds the right arm, and the right hand gives or receives. It might be unpolite to use just one hand.

Also, when corean women laugh, they often cover their mouth with the hand.

When I arrived here, it was very cold, -15°C. When I entered a snack bar, the first thing they served me (and it's for free) was a hot water glass. It is common on winter and it was strange for me.

Another thing I observed was the fact that some couples use the same jacket, or the same pants. For instance, if a girl is with a scooby-doo sweater, so is her boyfriend. It is to symbolize that their love is strong. Cute, huh? =)
