Many Koreans, like Chinese, still avoid the number 'four' (sa) since it has the same pronounciation as the word for death. Thus you will often find that Korean buildings will not have a forth floor or that the letter "f" replaces the number four. Because many Koreans are aware of Western superstions about the number thirteen, that too may be missing.
Another common taboo is against the use of the left hand is seen by all Koreans as offensive. It is best to offer something to another person, especially if they are senior in age or rank to you, with both hands. If it does not possible, use the right hand.
Do not stick chopstick upright in rice, as this resembles the way incense is burned at funerals.
Bare feet are to be avoided.
Koreans live, eat,and sleep on the floor, so it is important that floors are spotlessly clean. Not wearing socks means that your feet will be dirty.
Do not touch an adult on head, or even the shoulder. The same probation does not apply to children and youngsters, but on the whole it is the best to avoid any Korean on the head.
