The Top 10 Unforgettable Moments from my Assignment in South Korea

Carpe diem; Latin for “seize the day”. It’s a phrase that implies one is grabbing at every opportunity that comes their way and making the most of it, daily. It’s two words that perfectly sum up what Dylan Thomas meant about not going gentle into that good night.

These days, this term is usually associated with something incredible happening on an Instagram reel or a TikTok channel. But my question to every profile I see this quote used is: are you actually seizing the day, or are you trying to make people think you at? Remember folks, social media is just the highlight reel of someone’s life; rarely is it their real life.

With that, it bears reminding that Carpe Diem was never meant to settle as a hashtag on a social media platform. The term was meant to be a statement that sums up a way of life. It’s not “seize the moment” or “take advantage of a good opportunity”; it’s squeezing every ounce of action out of each day you’ve been given.

I was given an opportunity to live out that lifestyle with my one-year assignment in Korea. I quickly realized how fortunate and blessed I was, and I didn’t squander a single weekend. For me, carpe diem was my mantra as I explored every possible inch of Korea in the 365 days I had there.

I truly believe this article will give you an example of Carpe Diem in action and, hopefully, inspire you to do the same.

But first, let me ask you: do you seize the day? How do you know? Do you wish you could but don’t? What’s holding you back? Maybe you’re thinking “yea…I think I do”, or maybe you’re wondering: what are the steps required to seize the day? What are the metrics for measuring whether a day has been seized or not?

Let me paint you a vignette of what that might look like over the course of only one year while being stationed in South Korea.

• Hike a Different National Park Every Weekend During Hiking Season
• Visiting Something NOT Widely Published on Instagram
• Having a Sensory Overload at Donghwasa Temple in Daegu
• Jeju. Nuff’ Said
• Getting the Chills at the DMZ.
• Busan: My Favorite City
• Korea + Fall = Immaculate, Unforgettable Beauty
• Snowboarding? In Korea? You bet!
• Journeying to Middle Earth
• The Ephemeral Cherry Blossoms.

1. Hike a Different National Park, Every Weekend, During Hiking Season

In the one year I was afforded in South Korea, I was fortunate enough to hike 8 of Korea’s 22 National Parks: Gyeryongsan, Juwangsan, Seoraksan, Woraksan, Songnisan, Buhaksan, Odaesan, and Hallasan. Here are my Top 3 favorite parks and the reasons why (largely explained via photos because, you know, a picture is worth a thousand words lol):

If you’ve followed my blog/posts for a while, you know I go crazy over some good mountain views. Waterfalls, valleys, hikes, sunrises, sunsets; everything is just better when it’s somewhere in or near the mountains. Seoraksan is the best place for mountainous terrain in all of Korea.

Best spot in the park: Ulsanbawi Rock at Sunrise

Runner up: Towangseong Falls

I visited Songnisan twice while in Korea. This park earned my respect through its challenging hikes and impeccable views from the summits, and I’d like to think I earned its respect by sweating my brains out on my way to its summit lol. I’ll never forget stopping to appreciate the lily ponds just outside the park. Bright bursts of white color contrasted beautifully against the sea of dark green leaves. Furthermore, I’ll never, ever forget the beauty all around me during the fall time. More on that later because it deserves its own category.  

Best spot in the park: Literally anywhere in the fall

Runner up: Sanggoam Temple

Was the drive to Juwangsan from Osan or Camp Humphreys long? Absolutely. But was it worth it? Without a doubt. Only at Juwangsan did I find one of Korea’s most photographed spots: a massive, naturally created crevasse that split two rock faces, allowing visitors to pass through a towering void with a gentle walking path designed for hikers of all levels.  

Best spot in the park: the walking trail leading to Yongchu Pokpo Falls

Runner up: the view from Gamebong Peak

2. visiting something not widely published on instagram.

Thousands of westerners flock to Korea every year for all sorts of reasons: work, play, tourism, and business just to name a few. However, in their short amount of time, it seems they all find time to create a blog with some catchy title with their flagship post being “Top 10 Things to see in South Korea”….

…Clearly, I am guilty of this lol

However, without a true carpe diem attitude, these posts will largely point you in the direction of tourist traps or sights pummeled with people taking selfies. Boooooring. Carpe diem is about getting off the beaten path! It’s about visiting the things that appear only the slightest bit attractive because you never know what you might find.

That’s how I found Homigot in Pohang.

Now, Pohang isn’t exactly somewhere that’s widely written about, and rightly so. Pohang’s claim to fame is steel production, so it’s an industrial city. If you’re like me, steel production isn’t exactly something you’re dying to check out after a hard work week.

However, you could be missing a diamond in the rough by not visiting Pohang: The Hands of Harmony statue on Homigot (Tiger’s Tail Cape). These towering, steel hands found on Homigot face each other some hundred yards apart and represent coexistence and harmony. The right-hand sculpture stands in the East Sea while the left is on land at the Homigot Sunrise Plaza.

3. having a sensory overload at donghwasa temple in daegu.

It’s extremely easy to Google “temples near me” while living in South Korea and end up in a tranquil place within minutes–even without a car! But, with so many temples to choose from, you can quickly become inundated by the sheer amount that are available for visiting on the Korean peninsula.

However, one distinct temple stands out in my year of exploring: Donghwasa. This temple was the most memorable temple I experienced in all my exploring of South Korea due to its size, location, energy, and remoteness.

I’ll never forget making a spur-of-the-moment trip to Daegu, hopping on a bus, and landing amongst the chants of monks during a prayer session. I distinctly remember the relaxing sound the river made as I wondered the grounds, listening to the gentle waterfalls all around.

While it was surreal to be entranced by Buddhist prayers floating around on the breeze, the best part was stripping my shoes off and having an incredible, meditative grounding experienced in the middle of the river flowing around the temple.

4. jeju. nuff’ said..

Ah, Jeju. So good, I had to go back twice! The first time was during the winter; not particularly recommended lol but definitely nothing you should shy away from either.

I remember my plan on “Jeju Round One” to hike Hallasan and summit the highest peak in South Korea. It seemed pretty cut and dry but, as fate (read: weather) would have it, that plan changed quickly. A wicked snowstorm blew in the night of my arrival and slapped the mountain so hard that any chance at reaching the top was all but gone. I made the decision then and there that I’d come back in the spring, before I PCS’d, and attempt it again.

On “Jeju Round Two: Spring Edition”, I not only climbed the highest mountain in all of South Korea, but because I was only one week from my PCS, I successfully knocked the final item off of my bucket list.

The hike wasn’t memorable for the views, the journey, or the weather, though those factors were all amazing. Rather, what will always reside in my mind was the fact that this hike was the pinnacle of a year’s worth of carpe-ing the effing diem. And what better way to celebrate that accomplishment than from the top of a mountain 😊

5. getting the chills at the dmz.

I’ll never forget the sign that hung on the entrance to the Freedom House inside the Joint Security Area (JSA), “Entering this room will entail entry into a hostile area and possibility of injury or death as a direct result of enemy action”. Sounds enticing right? Lol well, if you have a screw loose like me it does 😉

The most memorable part of the trip wasn’t seeing the barbed wire fences, the memorials for those killed defending the Republic of Korea, or even the North Korean propaganda village. The most memorable part of the trip was the haunting realization that the only cars coming out of the DMZ are the same that went in.

Let that sink in for just a minute. Unless reunification happens, the vehicles driving north from Seoul will only ever see license plates that look like their own. Kiddos will never have the chance to reach over and slug their siblings’ arms and say, “North Korea”.

Spooky, right? Read my full DMZ story here

6. busan: my favorite city.

Why is Busan my favorite city in South Korea? Easy, the nightlife is amazing, the food: delicious (and unique to Busan), AND they have the best brewery in all of South Korea. That last claim is coming from a Colorado native where you can’t throw a rock in Denver without hitting a brewery; much like you can’t do the same with stray cats and cafés in South Korea, respectively.

I visited Busan for the first time was in the dead of summer. Scoring temperatures seemed to keep climbing all throughout June and into July and as I mentioned earlier, I’m a Colorado boy. We like snow where I come from lol.

I’m used to hot days, sure…hot, dry days. The kind where your body does that whole ‘sweating’ thing and then science does that whole ‘evaporation’ thing, cooling you off.

On a Korean summer day, where humidity is 102%, that whole ‘evaporation’ thing fails and what happens is you just sweat your brains out until your clothes are ruined lol. This is where Busan shined: a sweet release from all that heat with a dip in the ocean.

I remember hopping off the KTX and literally B-lining it to Haeundae Beach where my clothes nearly flew off my body and I dove into the East Sea. From there, I stumbled down a couple of side streets closer to the city’s center to find the coolest brewery in all of South Korea: Gorilla Brewing Company.

I’m not sure of the actual story behind the establishment but, from what I do remember, the brewery is owned by an Australian Expat and his Korean wife. The Aussie speaks Korean with an Australian accent, and the wife speaks English with a Korean-Australian accent. That alone should be a reason you visit lol. Oh, and the beer is out of this world.

7. korea + fall = immaculate, unforgettable beauty.

Remember what I said about those hot, Korean summer days? If you couldn’t tell by reading between my lines, I didn’t favor them lol. They were sticky, gross, and filled with entirely too many bugs for my liking. But you know who did love all that sunshine and heat? The trillions of trees covering the entire landscape.

And they proved it came fall.

Each and every leaf that danced on each and every branch across the Korean landscape burst into flame once the sun began setting lower and lower into the sky. What was a luscious, dense canopy teeming with life was now slowly showing it’s mortality as it gradually lost its daily battle with Jack Frost.

As the greens disappeared, they were replaced by vibrant reds and oranges. It was as if all the energy each tree had absorbed over the summer months was trying to beacon back to the sun in one final farewell. Korea in the fall was the prettiest landscape I’ve ever had the pleasure of hiking in, and my words just cannot do this paradise justice.

8. snowboarding in korea you bet.

Full disclaimer: the reason I’ll always remember snowboarding in Korea is because I challenged myself to go off the biggest ramp in the park and did it. However, the crash that ensued is what will always stick with me, physically and metaphorically lol.

You might not think Korea would be a choice destination for snowboarding and by comparison, you would be right. Compared to the Rockies, or Japan, Korea offers little compared to these snowy meccas. However, if you’re stationed (or living) there and need to scratch the itch, one of Korea’s many ski resorts will be sure to help alleviate your needs.

In order, here are the resorts I recommend and why:

Phoenix park ski resort.

This resort is my number one choice because of the amazing terrain parks (yes, plural) it offers and because they offer a US military discount on tickets. This is the infamous mountain I alluded to earlier when I said a specific crash will always stick with me lol. The jumps are high, the park is well maintained, and the experience was better than the other parks overall.

Yongpyong Snow Resort

Coming in at number two, Yongpyong is Korea’s largest ski resort, meaning there’s plenty of room to spread out. Korean ski resorts can get overwhelmed on the weekends so, it makes since to visit Yongpyong if you’re looking for room to get away from folks on the slopes.

High1 Ski Resort

If you’ve got a family, High1 is the place to go. Do the kiddos or beginners need gentle groomers? Do the adults need to bomb down a black diamond? Does the whole family want to skip skiing for the day and try sledding and tubing? If you answered yes to most of these, High1 is the place to go.

Read my full r e v i e w on snowboarding in Korea here

9. journeying to middle earth.

I mentioned earlier that Busan was my favorite city and while that is true, it’s only by a hair. Coming in at a very close second is Sokcho: the gateway to Seoraksan National Park.

Ever wondered what it would feel like to walk around middle earth? Take a moment and imagine what it would look like. Do you picture tall, jagged cliffs with lava somehow spewing out from beneath them as orcs or some other fabled creature grunt and yell as they prepare their weapons for an inevitable battle?

Well, that’s kind of what Seoraksan National Park feels like, minus the orcs lol. I’ll always remember the tall, jagged peaks to the north stretching upwards to the sky, forming a valley that felt as though hell itself was just below me. The rocky peaks seemed to create the illusion of some unearthly creature’s spine, desperately clawing his way through the earth to terrorize those trampling all over him.

To the south, I’ll always remember the endless mountain tops orchestrated in a uniformed fashion as they retreated from the sea. From the top of Daechongbong Peak, I distinctly remember the mist gathering at the base of each mountain, delineating where one mountain stopped and another began as it nestled into each valley.

Read my full guide to Seoraksan and Sokcho here

10. the ephemeral cherry blossoms.

Cherry blossoms are a lot like an exploding star: lots of buildup for about a split second of absolute beauty, and then, nothing. If you want to see them in full bloom, your timing must be perfect. While Korea in the fall is incredible, it’s much more of a slow burn so, you can afford to put it off a weekend or two and still catch all the beauty. With cherry blossoms, not so much.

Thankfully, I timed my visit to Jinhae to see the cherry blossoms just right. With good timing, I was extremely fortunate to see thousands of these natural wonders in full swing.

I remember all the sights and smells of spring in Jinhae being so refreshing. I remember that I couldn’t help myself from stopping and smelling everything I saw with color. From gardens with tulips and daises to the actual blossoms themselves, I ensured that I appreciated all the beauty that seemingly sprung up from everywhere I looked.

The sight I’ll never forget though, is the view of Jinhae from the Jinhae Museum of Changwon City. In all directions, like white, wildfires racing down the edges of the surrounding mountainsides, cherry blossoms burned up the landscape. No matter where I looked, pink and white bursts of color caught my eye among the yet-to-bud trees covering the hillsides.

In summary….

I suppose this will come as a shock to you when I say that I would not go back to South Korea if given the option. Yes, the beauty that is the Korean landscape and the food that summarizes Korean culture are things that I’ll never forget. However, stress kills.

My family was 16 time zones away. Do you know how hard it is to coordinate FaceTime dates with your significant other when you’re 16 time zones ahead? Oh, and when daylight savings happens, you’re 17 time zones ahead.

Do you know how bad it sucks to have a bad day at work, get off at 6pm and think, “Boy, sure would be nice to vent right now. Too bad it’s 3:00am in Colorado”.

I was only able to see my family for about 30 days in the span of a year. That’s under 10% of a year. Furthermore, do you know the kind of anxiety we had to endure leading up to the plane ride that became my assignment?

That same anxiety doubled when, halfway through my mid-tour leave, I realized that I was going to have to go back. If you know that feeling, know that I feel for you. If you don’t know that feeling, I pray you never have to.

Then there’s the job. If you’ve been living under a rock for the previous few decades, I’ll fill you in: the military has the highest stress level of any job out there. Period.

Now, pile on the fact that if you’re stationed in South Korea, your sole mission is to help defend the entire Korean peninsula from a nuclear-capable state. Right next door. 24/7.

You have to be ready to “Fight Tonight”, all the time.

At any moment, little rocket man to the north could single-handedly decide your fate and wipe you off the face of the earth with little or no warning. So, it comes as no surprise that if you take your job seriously, each time you get that notification that North Korea has launched some sort of projectile, you shit your pants a little.

I’m so, so very fortunate and blessed to have hiked the mountains of Korea and to have bathed in its culture. The hospitality the older generation showed me was the equivalent to my church back home, and I appreciated every encounter. These were experiences I would never, ever trade. However, I’ve done my time, and I’m not going to do it again unless my nation orders me to. Then, I’ll have no choice lol.

I am at peace with my Korean explorations because I Carpe’d the effing Diem, and there’s nothing left to do. Can you (or are you going to be able to) say the same about your situation?

How do I say "paper" in korean? (As in, essay).

I wanted to write in my calendar: "Psyc Paper due". Problem is, I wasn't sure how to write "paper". I saw examples like 논문 which I thought was too formal (this isn't some masters/thesis level paper), 리포트(report), however this was more of an essay rather than report, and other examples. (과제, 보고서, 에세이). In university, I often ask my friends when their "term paper" is due, but I'm not sure how to express "paper" in an essay-like level of formality. (As in, an essay/paper assigned for marks in a undergraduate university class). Edit: -added: 작문, 수필. -Part 2 of question: What are the differences between these all...

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) will submit the following information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. The USPTO invites comments on this information collection renewal, which helps the USPTO assess the impact of its information collection requirements and minimize the public's reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the Federal Register on June 17, 2024 during a 60-day comment period ( 89 FR 51313 ). This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comment.

Agency: United States Patent and Trademark Office, Department of Commerce.

Title: Recording Assignments.

OMB Control Number: 0651-0027.

Needs and Uses: This collection of information is required by 35 U.S.C. 261 and 262 for patents and 15 U.S.C. 1057 and 1060 for trademarks. These statutes authorize the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to record patent and trademark assignment documents, including transfers of ( print page 71260) properties ( i.e. patents and trademarks), liens, licenses, assignments of interest, security interests, mergers, and explanations of transactions or other documents that record the transfer of ownership of a particular patent or trademark property from one party to another. Assignments are recorded for applications, patents, and trademark registrations.

The USPTO administers these statutes through 37 CFR 2.146 , 2.171 , and 37 CFR part 3 . These regulations permit the public, corporations, other federal agencies, and government-owned or government-controlled corporations to submit patent and trademark assignment documents and other documents related to title transfers to the USPTO to be recorded. In accordance with 37 CFR 3.54 , the recording of an assignment document by the USPTO is an administrative action and not a determination of the validity of the document or of the effect that the document has on the title to an application, patent, or trademark.

Once the assignment documents are recorded, they are available for public inspection. The only exceptions are those documents that are sealed under secrecy orders according to 37 CFR 3.58 , or related to unpublished patent applications maintained in confidence under 35 U.S.C. 122 and 37 CFR 1.14 . The public uses these records to conduct ownership and chain-of-title searches. The public may view these records either at the USPTO Public Search Facility or at the National Archives and Records Administration, depending on the date they were recorded. The public may also search patent and trademark assignment information online through the USPTO website.

This information collection covers the recordation of patent and trademark assignments. In order to record an assignment, the respondent must submit an assignment document along with the appropriate cover sheet. The USPTO provides two forms for this purpose, the Recordation Form Cover Sheet—Trademarks Only (PTO-1594), and the Recordation Form Cover Sheet—Patents Only (PTO-1595), which capture all of the necessary data for accurately recording various assignments. Customers may submit assignments electronically by using Assignment Center, which is available on the USPTO website. [ 1 ] This system allows customers to fill out the required cover sheet information online using web-based forms and then attach the assignment documents to be submitted for recordation. The USPTO also provides paper forms that may be used to record an assignment. These forms may be downloaded in PDF format from the USPTO website. [ 2 ]

For this 30-day notice, the non-hourly cost burdens have been adjusted, for an overall increase of $27, due to an increase in the postage rate since the 60-day notice was published. Additionally, in response to public comments, the USPTO has added an additional 10 minutes to this information collection burden estimate.

Forms: (AIA= America Invents Act; SB = Specimen Book)

• PTO-1594 (Recordation Form Cover Sheet—Trademarks Only)
• PTO-1595 (Recordation Form Cover Sheet—Patents Only)

Everything smells bad. I swear, the number of times I’ve gone somewhere and blamed the hubby for farting or questioned if I accidently leaked some rancid bodily gas has happened far too many times. The good news – it’s not you, it’s just Korea (or your husband). 

The locals all burn their trash – a contributing factor to the smell issue. Don’t freak if you happen to see multiple fires on the side of the road. 

Too. Much. Fish. 

You’ll find yourself in towns in Korea that literally only sell fish. Bring Snacks. 

Korean Fried Chicken. It’s a thing. Koreans LOVE their chicken. You’ll see chicken places  everywhere!

Korean Drivers

Korean drivers are  crazy!  Seriously, drivers beware. Especially when coming to crossroads. Many drivers turning will not stop to look for traffic but will just pull out in front of you – it’s quite terrifying. BUT, on the contrary, if a driver does something stupid around you and you let them know via honk or another signal, they kindly apologize (usually by rolling down their window and waving). Road rage is not a thing, so take it easy on them. 

Emergency flashers

You want to stop? Trying to park? Figuring out directions? Thinking of switching lanes? Just stopping to think? Put on your emergency flashers. That’s what the Koreans do. Honking is just not a thing here, but you’ll see everyone using their flashers for whatever reason they please. 

Red Lights are Optional

I still haven’t quite figured out  which  red lights are optional, so I’m that cautious driver that annoys all Koreans and stops at every one until someone else goes through it. Use your best judgement. If you are in a rural area where there are clearly no cars around, I’d say it’s safe to go. In cities and busier areas, I’d recommend stopping and abiding by the light’s commands. 

To Left or Not to Left

If trying to make a left turn at a light, make sure you check to see if there is a blue sign with a left turn arrow at the light. If there is a sign present, that means that you are allowed to make an unprotected left turn, meaning you can turn left any time the light is green. If there is no left turn sign, you will only get to make your turn while there is a protected green arrow on the light. There are also signs designated for where you are allowed to make U-turns. 

You can always tell a Korean by which way their car is parked.  All  Koreans back their cars into parking spots. It’s just a thing. The parking spaces are also quite small, so be sure to pull your mirrors in as well. 

Getting Around

Apple Maps or Google Maps don’t work in South Korea. The only American app that somewhat works is Waze – but only for local, short-distance drives. If you are planning to drive a far distance, I recommend you download Naver or Kakao Maps . Both are very frustrating with trying to search for a destination. So, plan on having to look up your destination on Google or Apple maps just to see around where your destination is, then use landmarks or geographical cues to drop a pin in Naver or Kakao Maps. This gets old  real  fast. My advice, just go to the general location with Naver or Kakao and then switch to Waze. 

Check Your Speed

The great thing about Naver is that it lets you know where speed traps are! You will rarely see any police driving around, but there are  plenty  of speed cameras all over the place! If you use Naver, it will give you a heads up of when there is a speed trap and will let you know if you’re going too fast so you have time to slow down before you get sent a nice ticket in the mail for speeding. Once you pass the speed camera, you’ll hear a little  ding  as if you’re in a video game and just passed a checkpoint. What’s you really have to be cautious of are the “average speed zones”. A camera will record your speed at one checkpoint and then will capture your speed a few miles down the road. If you get there too fast, then obviously you were speeding and therefore you will receive a ticket in the mail. When in doubt, watch the traffic around you and go with the flow. 

There are a quite a few tollbooths in South Korea, so make sure you always have some won on you before going on a long road trip – some tolls will reject your credit card. Also, be sure to go in the correct lane for the tollbooth. There is the EZ Pass lane where you can just drive through (if you do this, you may get a ticket sent to you in the mail), and then there is the other booth where you collect your ticket and pay. 

Seoul Subways

The Seoul subways in South Korea are awesome! They are very clean and user-friendly. They even all have very nice and clean public restrooms in each station. There are class barriers protecting you on the platform from getting to close to the train, there is a little song that will play when your train is approaching, everyone will form a queue to get on the train, there are assigned seats for pregnant women and the elderly or disabled, there are nice screens indicating the stop you are approaching, and so much more! I can’t say enough good things about the subway system. 

Crime is Not a Thing

Literally, I think South Korea is the safest place I’ve ever felt in this world. Koreans are extremely nice and doing wrong is just not in their blood.  

Poor Air Quality

The air quality in South Korea is not ideal. If you have asthma or other breathing problems, it’s probably recommended that you either don’t come here or invest in a high-quality filtering face mask. There are Air Quality apps that will let you know what the air quality forecast is each day. Expect there to be many hazy days where crisp blue skies just don’t exist. 

Everywhere is Quite Clean

Despite the air quality and burning trash, the country is fairly clean. You will rarely see litter on the ground and graffiti is just not a thing here. 

Language Barrier

An obvious one, but there definitely is a language barrier in South Korea. There are a good number of locals who know English, but plan on having Google Translate easily accessible on your phone. Also, unlike Europe assignments where you can somewhat figure out how to read signs and distinguish what types of places are around you, Korean is just not possible to “wing-it” with not having the same alphabet as us. 

Translations are  Hilarious!

You’ll definitely get a kick out of the translations of things in Korea. You’ll notice this on Korean apparel with English sayings on it – they just don’t quite make sense. If you Google Translate a menu or something in Korean, it will likely be just a little off and mean something absurd. 

Everything is Just a Little Off

You’ll come across quite a few things that Koreans try to imitate from America or other parts of the world that end up being just a little “off”. For instance, at a local Mexican restaurant, rather than getting chips and salsa as a starter, they will bring you pita bread and whipped cream. 

Everything is Sweet

Sweets, themselves, aren’t typically over-sweet, but regular savory-type stuff is super sweet. The bread, the pickles, the vegetables, pasta, everything! 

Shipping Container Apartments

Almost all apartments in South Korea look like large shipping containers (and they all look the same). Nothing too great to look at, but the apartments inside are decent — most of which having heated floors and other nice amenities.

Personal Space

Beware. Personal space is not a thing in South Korea. Expect people to get right up in your business. They aren’t being rude, it’s just normal to them. Also expect to possible be slapped – I’ve encountered a few times trying to self-check-out at a grocery store or trying to get my credit card to work in a machine where a Korean (typically only older women) will slap your hand to get you to not do something. I still get a little feisty when that happens. 

Using the Toilet

Some toilets in South Korea are  really  nice – many of which having bidets with heated seats. Whereas, on the opposite spectrum, many toilets you will come across are not so nice. Some public spaces will have two sides of toilets – one side of regular toilets, and the other side of “squatty potties”. Most will indicate which you are going in on the door. Some stalls do not have toilet paper in them but rather a roll of toilet paper on the wall outside of the stalls that you must grab before you go take care of business. 

All of the Selfies

Younger generations of Koreans are  alllll  about the selfies! And they do them right. Many have the latest iPhone, fancy lights to attach to their phone, selfie sticks, tripods and more to get that perfect picture. Just go to a coffee shop and observe. You’re  bound  to see some selfie action. 

Everywhere  is Instagrammable

Almost everywhere, especially coffee and dessert shops, are instagrammable. There will be walls dedicated just for your perfect insta shot.  If you order a dessert, expect it to be a work of art! Even some cocktail bars I’ve been to have little lights that they will bring to your table when they bring you your order so you can take a picture with good lighting. 

Coffee Shops  Galore!

Coffee shops are  everywhere ! Go coffee shop hopping. There are so many to explore. Koreans love their coffee. Try a sweet potato latte! Avoid the green tea (tastes like grass). You can find some coffee shop recommendations on my post, Turn Your Rainy Saturday into a Gunsan Getaway , with ideas of other things to do locally if you are stationed at Kunsan !

Koreans are  all  about their cosmetics! You will be overwhelmed with the number of cosmetic stores  everywhere ! South Korea is the cosmetic capital of the world! Stock up. 

Seriously, Some of the Friendliest People on Earth

Koreans are SO so friendly. They are  usually  always warm and welcoming. They take a lot of pride in their work and are very hospitable.

Step it up, America

Koreans are also some of the smartest people on earth. Some of the simple things they do in daily life just makes so much sense that you wonder why America hasn’t thought of it. For example, they all have little “call” buttons at tables in restaurants that you can simply call your server over when you are ready to order or need something. Most restaurant tables have a little drawer on the end with extra silverware and napkins. The subways in Seoul have nice glass barriers up on the platforms to prevent any accidents. The plastic bags at grocery stores have the two handles plus little ties in the middle so it’s easy to carry your bag without worrying about stuff falling out. The list goes on and on – just simple things that make everyday life a little easier.
