Seoul's a dance, you learn as you go.

Just a few things I've learned after living in Korea for 2 weeks...

-It's okay to smack when eating around friends.

-Always have clean feet!

-There is a different trash for food, paper, plastic, and "wastes" everywhere.

-English on -t-shirts and signs and stuff never really makes that much sense.

-Americans are too big and have too big of feet to shop in Korea... and they aren't afraid to let you know.

-Kim (keem) is your friend.

-Eat at places with pictures on the menu.

-Move fast when in the city.

-Be quiet on the subway. (but trying to make people laugh on the subway is one of the funniest things ever!)

-Deoderant is really expensive.

-Don't eat toast soaked in butter after not eating eating any butter for 2 whole weeks!

-Girls hold hands with girls, and boys hold hands with boys.

-There's a certain way to use a squatty potty.

-People clean the floors like you're gonna eat off of them or something... but then later you actually do.

-Koreans never sleep!

-Don't eat too "deliciously" because napkins aren't so common.

-Age, church, lunch, tissue, coffee= agie, churchie, lunchie, tish, coppee

-Air condition is really really really cold after going without it for 2 weeks.

-It's okay if people stare at you sometimes... or all the time... everywhere you go.
