About this episode

South Korea has some unique rules that might seem totally strange to foreigners! For starters, there’s the “age system” where you’re automatically a year or two older than your international age. Public trash cans are super hard to find, so you often have to carry your garbage around with you until you get home. When pouring drinks for others, it's considered rude to do it with one hand—you have to use two! Tipping is also not a thing in South Korea, and people might even refuse it. Lastly, walking into someone’s home with your shoes on is a big no-no; everyone leaves their shoes at the door. Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD...
