Korean Coultures You Should Know Before Traveling Korea 1. This isn’t racism — don’t misunderstand. If you feel like Koreans are giving you suspicious looks, don’t worry — it’s not racism. They’re just naturally cautious around people they don’t know, even if they’re Korean. Once you break the ice, they’re super friendly. 2.

There’s no tipping culture in Korea — don’t give tips. 4. You can ask for a refill if you want more banchan (side dishes). They're included in the meal price. 5. K-pop idols are just idols — most Koreans don’t look like them in real life 6.

Suwon Chilbo Mountain   Chilbo Mountain is a small mountain that spans both Suwon and Hwaseong cities. It's great for a one-hour hike, and its proximity to the city makes it easily accessible. When I hiked there, it was during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the sky was very clear, but now it might be under attack by fine dust. There are various hiking trails, so be sure to use a map. I mainly hiked from the Yonghwa entrance. https://maps.app.goo.gl/1EzK4j475a4gQkfM8

Walmart Asian Food : Remen, Ramyeon

Image
My Recommended Asian Foods from Walmart Hey friends! Just a quick reminder: there’s a difference between ramen and ramyeon. Ramen refers to Japanese noodles, while ramyeon is the Korean version of instant noodles. 1. Jeanise's Ramen Nissin RAOH Ramen Noodle Soup, Tonkotsu These fresh noodles aren’t spicy at all and taste very similar to the tonkotsu ramen you’d find in Japan. I think Americans will really enjoy them! 2. Korean Ramyeon Nongshim Shin Ramyeon.(Shin means spice) 농심 신라면 This is spicy! If you can't eat spicy food, it might be difficult for you, but give it a try! It's so delicious! most of Korean ramyeons are spicy to you. lol But those are not spicy to Koreans! Yayyy
