Visiting South Korea? Here are some tips that will help you!

If you are travelling to South Korea for a vacation or even a longer period than a vacation, you'll be glad to know this stuff:

Essentials
1. Use sneakers! Of course travelling to South Korea, means a lot of walking and exploring! So get yourself a pair of sneakers before you start your journey.

2. Deodorant and period pads are very expensive in South Korea, so it's better to bring your own when you're travelling.

Culture:
Check out previous chapter about table manners, it will help you a lot! Here are a few more:

1. Do NOT place your chopsticks inside the bowl, resting vertically! Always put it back down on the side if you haven't finished eating or place it lying down on top the bowl if you are finished eating.

2. If you are drinking with elders, make sure to pour in their glass before you pour in yours! Elders first!

3. Do NOT pick up the bowl to eat.

4. If you're at a place where they are being quiet and not speaking loudly, take note of that and adjust to the atmosphere, because Koreans are very laid back people, so they'll probably think you're annoying ;) and you might just get kicked out of the place.
