Travel

There are diffent cultures in each nation. So if you travel other countries, you might be embarrassed and face some problems. Especially, when foreigners visit Korea they feel culture difference. First, Koreans don't wear shoes in the house. But many people who live in western countries wear shoes in their room. So if it is the first time that they visit Korea, most foreigners make a mistake. And second is food. Many people who live in western countries can't eat hot & spicy food. But most Korean foods are hot and salty, for example, Kimchi and Bibimbab, so foreigners have a hard time in Korea because of our foods. And last, we respect older people, so when we greet older people we say hello to them by bending at the waist. If you greet older people by shaking hands, it is a rude behavior. So for those reasons of culture difference, when foreigners visit Korea, they experience culture shock.
