Customs & Oddities: Always hand to and receive...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Always hand to and receive things from other people using two hands.

    Bowing is also polite, like a handshake in western culture. If you shake hands with a Korean person it shows respect to use both hands, or shaking with the right hand and touching your own upper right arm with the left at the same time. The higher up your own arm you touch the more respect you show.

    If you look like a foreigner you are not really expected to know the customs. However, most Koreans are very appreciative of a foreigner who attempts to learn and use the language, customs, etc.
