What should I pay attention to when I go to Korea for the first time?

Precautions for traveling in South Korea:

According to government regulations, Korean citizens must respect the national flag, national anthem and national flower. Not only does the radio broadcast the national anthem regularly, but also the national anthem is played before the performance in the theater. The audience must stand up. If foreigners are too negligent in the above-mentioned places, it will be considered disrespectful to South Korea and Koreans.

Koreans have many taboos. When we meet each other on holidays, we should not say unlucky words, let alone get angry and quarrel. On the first three days of the first lunar month, you can't take out the garbage and sweep the floor, let alone kill chickens and pigs. Avoid making a fire during the Cold Food Festival. The zodiac signs avoid marriage, and the wedding date is one day. Fishermen are not allowed to turn over when eating fish, because they are afraid of capsizing. Avoid going to other people's homes to cut their nails, otherwise the two families will settle their grievances after death. Avoid wearing a hat when eating, or you will be poor for life. Avoid pillow books when sleeping, or you will get nowhere in reading. Avoid

killing dogs born in the first month, or you will die within three years.

when sitting with the elderly, sit upright. Because the Korean dining table is a small table with short legs and is placed on the kang, both the host and the guest should sit cross-legged on the floor when dining. If you should kneel on your sole

in front of your elders, no matter who you are, you must never straighten your legs or spread them apart, otherwise it will be considered impolite or insulting. Do not smoke in front of superiors and elders, and do not borrow or receive fire from them without permission. Don't make noise with

when eating, and don't talk. You should take off your shoes when you enter a family house or a Korean hotel. Eating in the street and blowing your nose in front of people are considered rude.

In front of Koreans, don't mention the word "North Korea", and don't refer to "Seoul" as "the capital". Photography is strictly restricted in Korea, and military facilities, airports, reservoirs, subways, national museums and entertainment places are all prohibited, and taking pictures in the air and high-rise buildings are also prohibited.

1. Greetings and thanks are very important to Koreans when they meet or break up.

2. When thanking, you must bow your head, which is also a very important etiquette (the degree of bowing your head varies according to the age of the other party and the relationship between superiors and subordinates)

3. Koreans don't like to be too active.

4. From the point of etiquette, Koreans don't like physical contact except shaking hands.

5. In South Korea, intimate physical contact such as hand-in-hand or shoulder-to-shoulder between the same sex is taken for granted.

6. However, excessive intimacy between the opposite sex in public places is restricted.

7. Most men and women in Korea use the restroom. Toilets in various hotels, restaurants and other places are also completely open.

8. According to tradition, Koreans eat, sleep and live on the kang, so they should take off their shoes before entering the house.

9. Barefoot is considered rude, so you should wear socks when visiting out of courtesy.

1. When checking out after eating or playing, there is almost no separate payment. Generally, everyone takes turns to be the host.

11. It is considered impolite to talk too much during a meal.

12. Blowing your nose during a meal is considered rude.

13. You can burp during meals.
