Episode 14: Don't Press My Buttons (Culture)
Manage episode 379595167 series 3501169
This week Jun and Daniel finally get around to exploring a question that was teased in the pilot for this podcast: Why don’t people hold the door open for each other? Listen in as our hosts discuss varying topics related to manners and common courtesy between the two countries. How do Koreans react when you hold the door open for them? What is common practice with regards to dental hygiene in Korea, that most Americans would find odd and borderline disgusting? What is a common thing done in America that is seared into Jun’s memory? Why would Koreans much rather invade personal space, then ask someone to do something for them? Is commenting on physical appearances, especially weight, really not negative? Has Daniel become comfortable with silence after a sneeze? Which country has the more casual office culture? How can one tip in Korea without offending anyone?
If you're interested in any of these questions, tune in to hear Daniel and Jun discuss all this and more! This week we also recall a scene from Crash Landing on You, learn about Jun’s reputation with respect to communication, and come to a mind-blowing conclusion about tipping habits.
As a reminder, we record one episode a week in-person from Seoul, South Korea. We hope you enjoy listening to our conversation, and we're so excited to have you following us on this journey!
