Hospitality Korean culture is vastly different from New Zealand culture, and so adjusting to a completely new way of life can leave you a little shocked and daunted at times. Things that make perfect sense to you will not make any sense at all to Koreans, and you will encounter this in all aspects of Korean culture, including your workplace. You have to learn to accept these differences or else you may go crazy! Top of Page There are some really nice people in Korea who will for no reason offer you advice or give you a scarf if you are looking cold, and there are some not so nice characters here, it's a big city and no matter where you go, not everyone will be nice. Overall, we have found that the further out from Seoul the nicer the Koreans are to foreigners. We have turned up in tiny Korean villages having missed a train and be taken in and fed by families and then driven to where we want to go! On the other hand though don't blindly trust anyone, be wise and be careful, along the way you will make Korean friends here, who have much to offer and who will teach you about the amazing customs and lifestyles that they have. You will also find there is a large foreign community of many nationalities, all in a similar situation to you, so support is easy to find if you need it, or if not drinking buddies are generally only a phone call away.

South Korean Education Focusing on the Future: An Update by Richard Diem, Tedd Levy, and Ronald VanSickle pdf version related lesson plans Our bus wound its way uphill along a narrow, crowded street toward Shinn II Boys High School, and one could only imagine the excitement and disruption we were about to bring to its staff and students. Hanging over the school's entrance was a banner welcoming our group of 19 Americans and more than 40 other educators from Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. We could see dozens of faces peering at us through the windows of the four-story building. Our visit to this school was one of several we would make during the Summer 1996 Korean Studies Program sponsored by the Korea Society, an organization dedicated to academic and cultural exchanges to promote greater understanding of Korea and its people. Our visits and talks with teachers, students, and school officials allowed for some preliminary impressions and observations about education in Korea. Since that visit, much has changed throughout Korea. Economic and political upheavals have shifted both personal and institutional outlooks. As with other societal constructs, Korean schools have been part of this process.

39. Korean Circumcision and has no issue with any other aspect of korean culture. Circumcision itself was almost unknown in south korea before before the US trusteeship, http://www.circumstitions.com/Korea.html

The strange case of Circumcision in South Korea Policy Statement For the record, the author of these pages is firmly opposed to all involuntary circumcision, the Korean variety no more or less than any other, and has no issue with any other aspect of Korean culture. HY Circumcision in South Korea is interesting for several reasons: It is of recent origin - less than 50 years - making it almost rootless It is performed (for "medical" and sexual reasons) in late childhood It is very much taken for granted, and assumed to be universal Religious circumcision is almost unknown. Circumcision itself was almost unknown in South Korea before before the US trusteeship, 1945-48, and the heavy US involvement in the Korean War; 1950-53. Older men report not having heard of it (except in a biblical context) before then. It seems an inescapable conclusion that it was adopted because of US cultural influence. It is reported to have greatly increased in the 1960s, with many articles in newspapers promoting it. Since then it has become almost universal. An estimated 14 million South Korean men are now circumcised. While circumcision has declined in the United States over the last two decades, in South Korea it has not. In fact, circumcision of adults currently makes the circumcision rate higher than the birthrate! The exceptions to this nearly universal circumcision are interesting. In a survey of men in Seoul streets, a majority (69%) of the 92 intact men said they did not need to be circumcised because they were "naturally circumcised". This might be taken to mean they had either a very short foreskin or none (

In the past, most people lived in small rural areas. Changes to peoples' lifestyles have led to many young people leaving country areas to find new opportunities in the cities (particularly Seoul). In the past, it was not uncommon for several generations to live under one roof; today South Koreans are moving more towards the standard nuclear family.
