I always enjoy hearing about culture shock because it is so interesting to see the striking differences between cultures when traveling. When I went to South Korea, I did not experience any immediate culture shock since I was already aware of Korean culture. A few things that surprised me was the amount of things you can get for free there. If you go shopping in a makeup and skincare road-shop they will give you handfuls and handfuls of free samples. If you shop in a convenience a grocery store, so many items will be marked as 1+1 or 1+2 or 2+1 meaning buy one get one free, buy one get two free and buy two get one free. In America it is not that easy to find many things with sales like this but in Korea it would be strange to not see these sales.
