Korean habits?

Some korean do not like the number 4 at all. It's because its writing is very similar to the chinese manner of writing "die". So, korean don't like it. Some buildings, for instance, do not have the 4th floor. They name it the 5th instead. 1st floor, 2nd floor, 3rd, 5th, 6th...


South Korea blocks any kind of communication with North Korea. Even cyber. I've tried to access a North Korean website and it was redirected to a police statement. You can see the print of it in this post.


I don't know much about wedding habits in other countries, but in mine it's common to give houseware gifts, such as dishes or microwave. But here people give money to the groom and the bride on the wedding day. Usually, an amount from 50 to 100 wons, what is from 75 to 150 reais.
