And more differences!

Just a few different things that I have come across that have rocked my world, but am slowly becoming accustomed to them!

-people have specific shoes they wear in their houses, then specific shoes that they wear into the bathroom. the school I work at uses this exact tradition. I wear "slippers" while working and have to put on other "slippers" to go into the bathroom. yes different. i think so
-the Korean people value fair skin. so different than the western way of things. good thing I don't gotta keep workin on gettin tan!
-people do not smile or acknowledge you when you walk by them. when you make eye contact with someone you just stare at them until you dont see them anymore. there have been countless number of times that I have seen people stare at me and I make eye contact with them, and they keep staring. I am slowly getting used to staring right back at them, no shame!
-at my school, if students are late they have to kneel on their knees in the hallway holding a sign above their head in Korean (I unfortunately can't read it) but I'm pretty sure this punishment doesn't work, but thats their way of doing things so I cant say anything.....
-people do not say any form of "bye" on the phone, they just say yes yes yes mmmmmmmm. pretty interesting, i'm gunna start to do that too!
