Daily life of Koreans

The greenhouse facilities of Korean houses are heated kang, which is beneficial to health and daily life is carried out indoors.

Take off your shoes before entering the room in Korea.

Koreans generally don't write their names in red, because the names of the dead are recorded in red.

Koreans eat rice, soup and vegetables in different bowls.

It is very impolite to make a noise while eating in Korea.

When looking at the traffic facilities in Korea, the driver's seat is on the left and the driving direction is on the right.

It doesn't matter if you want to prepare a small gift when you visit someone else's home in Korea.

Koreans put their surnames first and their names last. Children take their father's surname, and women also use their original surname after marriage.

Regulations:

The law is based on that country's policies and ways of thinking are a little different. It should be noted that South Korea has laws and regulations that other countries do not have or are different from other countries. Those who violate these laws and regulations will be fined or dealt with according to law.

Here are a few rules that tourists often make:

(1) drinking and smoking law

19 years old can smoke and drink in Korea.

When buying cigarettes and alcohol, you should show your certificates (ID card, student ID card, passport, etc.). That can prove your age.

In Korea, smoking is prohibited in closed public places such as offices, restaurants, shops and subways or places with no smoking signs. You can generally smoke in bars, restaurants, cafes and other places. If there is no sign indicating no smoking, but just in case, it is better to ask people around you if they can smoke.

(2) Road Traffic Law

In Korea, the age at which you can drive a car is over 18, and the age at which you can drive a motorcycle is over 16. Be sure to bring your driver's license and fasten your seat belt when driving. The general road speed limit is 60km/h (highway 80- 100km/h), and the blood alcohol concentration is above 0.05% when drunk driving is punished. In Seoul and other big cities, parking in places where parking is not allowed will be fined or towed away.

Besides, most Koreans use public transportation. Buses have bus routes, and buses and cars with more than six people are not allowed to take bus routes. On the left side of the road, there is a line marked blue, which is a bus lane. Generally, it will not run at 07:00-2 1:00 (07:00- 15:00 on Saturday).

Like the motorway in the city center, there is also a "motorway lane" on the expressway, located at the right end of the expressway, from 9: 00 to 23: 00 on Saturday and Sunday (public holiday).
