Korean advantage.

I will explain about Korea's beautiful things.
First, Korea is very safe as a nation.
Pack guns or drugs are against South Korea's regulation.
Also, Korean police(112) are very quick.
Because if you call the police, they will arrive in just 3 minutes.
Second, South Korea has transformed itself into one of the world's most wired nations and South Korea has the fastest speed in the World.
Third, when something happen in Korea (for example, IMF), Korea will cooperate in any problem.
And the problems will be overcome.
Like this, Korea is a country with full of patriots and it is a country with the spirit of team work.
Fourth, Korean people respect the elders.
Korean bus or subway has designated seats for the elderly.
In addition, when a young man or girl is sitting in a public place, if it comes to the elderly young people should give their place.
This isn't a law but, one of Korean custom.
Finally, Korea is a very smart nation.
So, we have come a long way and learned a hell of a lot.

Korean body language and Western body language.

Body language is very important for people who with diffrent languages who want to communicate with each other.
However, the meaning of each body language varies in each country.
Korean body language and Western body language have something diffrenco meanss even though there are same gesture.
Let me take a few examples.
First, giving a little finger-up in Korea mens 'I promise you' but, in the Western, the gesture means trifle and rope yarn in Western.
Second, fidgetting with finger means to boredom in Korea but, in the Western the gesture means wishing to don't caughting the lie by America or England childrens.
Third, in the Korea, giving a thumbs-up means 'the best' but, in the Western, Giving a thumbs-up means 'good or fine'
Also, the gesture means 'the best' in Western is Giving a index finger-up.

I think it like this, some but diffrence gestures of two cultures very important correctly knowledge and understanding

What advice would you give to a foreigner coming to Korea for the first time?

From old times, it is very important in Korea to think abour manners.
So, when you come to Korea, If you wanted to using Korean, I prefer to it you have a talked after initiate a conversation with '~요' better than talk down to everyone.
And, I recommend. you come to Kora, during your trip, you can speak Korea ordinary language.
For example, '고맙습니다, 안녕하세요, etc'.
So, it is the better than your mother language.
If you take my advice, I think it your Korean travel is very good travel.
I add to my opnion, when you come to Korea, you have a number of Korean police(112) or Korean ambulance(119) or Korean goverment office.
Because you suddenly need the number.
