Etiquette with Korean Families |
|
| |
 |
Shoes are not worn inside Korean residences. |
|
People are respectful and polite to elders, as Confucianism remains a strong social code. |
|
People do not point at others. |
|
Red ink is not used in writing a living person's name. |
|
You
should not squeeze hard when shaking hands. |
|
At the table you should wait until an elder begins to eat. |
|
Blowing one's nose at a meal is impolite. |
|
Do
not leave your spoon or chopsticks inside
your rice or soup bowl. Chopsticks are
stuck into the rice only at offerings
for the deceased. |
|
Koreans often smile to show embarrassment, or when they feel sorry. |

Service Provided by Host |

Breakfast is covered by the basic charge. |
|
Most hosts come to the airport to
fetch visitors. Some home-stay organizations

Hosts may accompany you for sightseeing, shopping, and other activities if requested. |
|
By agreement you may use the host's computer, washing machine, or other home appliances. |
|
Folk games or other cultural activities can be experienced during free moments (Yutnori, a stick-tossing game similar to backgammon, trying on Korean traditional costume, etc.)
