Korea
South Korea is a country with thousands of years of history, tradition and culture that are all an integral part of the Korean way of life. Culture shock is a very real thing and can leave you feeling overwhelmed and lost while simultaneously feeling excited and curious. These kinds of fluctuating emotions are a natural reaction to the extreme change you face when you move to a new country, and it can happen at various times during your life abroad.Korea is referred to as "Rivers and Mountains Embroidered on Silk" (금수강산, 錦繡江山) and "Eastern Nation of Decorum" (동방예의지국, 東方禮儀之國).[175]Individuals are regarded as one year old when they are born, as Koreans reckon the pregnancy period as one year of life for infants, and age increments increase on New Year's Day rather than on the anniversary of birthdays. Thus, one born immediately before New Year's Day may only be a few days old in western reckoning, but two years old in Korea. Accordingly, a Korean person's stated age (at least among fellow Koreans) will be one or two years more than their age according to western reckoning. However, western reckoning is sometimes applied with regard to the concept of legal age; for example, thelegal age for purchasing alcohol or cigarettesin the Republic of Korea is 19, which is measured according to western reckoning.
Korea people has a personal space there are:
  1. Koreans tend to prefer standing at arms lengths from one another.  When meeting strangers this distance is farther.
  2. In public arenas like the subway, a market, etc. s personal space can be quite limited and pushing is common.
  3. Teenagers of both genders as well as most women are very comfortable in each others’ spaces if friends.  It is very common to see two girls or women, and often two boys, walking arm-in-arm.
  4. people do not tend to apologize for bumping into other people or otherwise invading their personal space.  This is especially true in the larger cities, like Seoul.
  5. Communication style tends to be fairly indirect.
  6. Due to the language barrier, understanding is often required in conversation.
