Cultural Post # 5

I find the Korean bowing culture really interesting. Not like in the states, bowing is a very common courtesy in Korea to greet elders and to show respect. Especially when a young boy/girl meet someone in his/her father age, they bow 90 degrees to show respect, and the longer you bow, the more respect you show. In some very traditional areas if you do not bow, you even get yelled at.
