This appears in our orientation conference handbook:
Things Koreans find strange about western behavior:
1. overly firm handshake
2. receiving or giving anything with just one hand, especailly the left (very disrespectful)
3. speaking with our hands in our pockets
4. using too much eye contact during conversation
5. the direct nature of our conversations
6. answering with one word answers or responding with a noise like, "aha" or "mhhm"
7. speaking very quickly and using slang
8. challenging other people's opinions
9. asking your employer to give you things in the beginning (they want to give you holiday time as a gift for excellent work, not because they must based on your contract)
10. kissing in public or public shows affection
11. wearing revealing clothing
12. blowing your nose in public (like at a restaurant or in front of class)
