In my opinion, I will choose to register for the international summer exchange program in Korea. Firstly, Korea has many beautiful scenes suitable for traveling, relaxing and experiencing. Secondly, Koreans are very polite:
1) Welcome culture
Koreans are very attentive to greetings' attitude and gesture. Smile and folding gestures are indispensable in greeting culture in Korea. Due to the penetration of Western culture and the development of modern society, nowadays people can change their backbends with a slight bow. However, in cases of special solemnity or showing respect to the elderly and those with high positions in society, the back-folding movement is still highly respected. Koreans often appreciate the efforts of foreigners when trying to express greetings in the Korean language itself: "An-nhon-ha-sae-yo!".
When meeting Korean people, you should bow and not call the names of others until they have allowed or offered to you about it. Koreans often use business cards, especially business people, if they give you a business card and don't receive it back from you, they think you don't want to get used to them. Always try to keep your attitude happy, humble and respectful to others, which will leave a good impression on the other person. The smile and polite and friendly attitude in greeting culture not only express respect and solidarity of the community but also contribute to building the image of a Korean country: modern, civilized and professional. .
2) Behavioral communication culture
In group meetings and parties, you should not introduce yourself to people, it is best to have a friend to introduce you to others. When sitting in crowded places, men should pay attention to putting down the toes of their shoes and not crossing their feet in front of others. When meeting an older person, take a few minutes to visit them. Best to praise for their health.
Koreans speak in relatively soft voices and keep silent a few times while talking; At the same time, they always appreciate those who have a humble attitude. Because of respect for face, Korean people often do not respond directly, whether they nod or say "yes" in communication does not mean they agree. While communicating, take care not to touch other people unless you shake hands. Koreans believe that legs are not clean parts, so be careful not to touch your feet with the opposite person.
3) Culture of dress / dress
Traditional Hanbook costumes are usually worn on special holidays such as the Lunar New Year and Chuseok - seasonal holidays (Mid-Autumn Festival), and family holidays such as Hwangap - to celebrate the 60th birthday. .
The traditional Korean meal is indispensable for Gimchi, a dish made from a variety of pickled vegetables such as cabbage, radishes, green onions and cucumbers.
In addition, seaweed soup, rolls of seaweed, mixed rice, cold noodles, black noodles, ginseng chicken soup or spicy rice cakes, fish cakes are often sold on the streets, ... are also very typical dishes. of Korea. If you have the opportunity to set foot and experience in this country, do not forget to try at least once these very special and attractive dishes!
4)
Gift giving culture
The gift shows a great deal of friendly diplomatic relations in Korea and it is always reciprocated. The number 4 is thought to be an unlucky number, so your gift cannot be a multiple of 4. Koreans think that 7 is a lucky number. Red and yellow gift wrapping paper is popularly used in Korea and should not be wrapped in green, white or black paper. Gifts must ensure a delicate and sophisticated package. Give and receive gifts with both hands. Do not open gifts in front of the giver. However, you should also ask if you can open the gift immediately.
That's why I choose Korea as the place I choose to experience.
