Two very important points to assimilating to Korean culture











  • Their delicious food being one ( I'm somewhat obsessed with Korean food. I will become extremely fat, I'm afraid)

  • Their adorable clothes that luckily I am small enough to fit into. It would be a tragedy if I couldn't because they are just so darn cute.
    ~~ I'm very hung up on these two facts. Not to mention that the mannerisms in that culture are great. One rule I've recently become acquainted with is the visiting ricebowl rule. I really like this rule. I like it so much I dont mind abiding by it as well. Basically, in Korean culture if you visit anyone that is outside of your own place of residence, it doesnt matter who, you must bring a gift...be it food or material good. Even if that person is your own mother. Bring her food. Now I really like this because the past week I have gained many yummy items in my fridge because of visitors. First, my Japanese friend, Kenichi brought over a huge plate of fried noodles in exchange for proofreading his paper. Then Kyounghee's(my bf) new friend Jungkyun brought over a bag of chicken wings and baskin robbins ice cream in exchange for some food, beer and a cig or two. I really love this culture. I can totally do this too. I love to cook. Brace yourself, my Asian friends, I always repay in kind.
