Interesting Korean culture!

  Culture is the way for people to think, to live. There are a lot of countries in the world. That means many cultures also exist. Because every country has own culture, this difference between countries can make a kind of embarrassed situation.

  Let me talk about interesting Korea culture. Usually, in Korea, older people tend to treat young people. We think older people can get a more money than younger people. Even if a situation is different from this belief that older people have more money than younger, this treat would happen, for example, in university. In university, actually everybody doesn't have enough money to treat somebody, because we are students, we are not worker. Nevertheless, we would treat younger guys like treat a meal, drink and other things. The reason why we behave like this is that I think we have a kind of class as age. If my age is 24, I can talk with someone whose age is under 24 with Korean with impolite way, but when I start conversation with someone whose age is upper 24, I should use Korean with polite way. They sound different and as the way we use Korean, the relationship tend to be decided. It is like 'I am younger than you, so I will follow your opinion many times, but you would better treat me. In the process the older people take care of younger and younger follow older, we can make a friendship more strong. It seems like strange something, but If someone come to Korea, and experience it. Maybe everybody can understand the way we do. Thank you for reading.!!
