5 Things You Shouldn’t Do In Korea

1. Sit Randomly When Using Public Transportation

If you sit at certain spots at public transportations, you might get some harsh looks or even worst, yelled at. In Korea, whether it is on the bus or subway there are seats marked for the elderly, disable, and pregnant women. Just plopping on one of these seats can be seen as offensive and rude.

2. Speaking Loudly In Public

This sounds like something you already know, but we just want to remind you again. This applies especially if you are using public transport as it is considered rude when you speak too loudly.

3. Don’t Mix Different Types Of Trash

Korea uses a system called jongnyangje for the effective collection of garbage waste and to reuse natural resources. All garbage that your household produces must be disposed properly or you may be fined. Garbage must be separated according to whether it is common garbage, food waste, recyclable and large waste objects.

4. Wearing Revealing Clothes

Everyone has the freedom to wear whatever they want but there are still some clothing styles that are not really favoured in South Korea. Barebacks are considered slightly indecent. A plunging neckline is a big NO. However, it is totally fine to show as much legs as you want. You might have noticed that a lot of Korean women love wearing skirts or shorts. Some of them pair the skirts with socks, leggings or simply wear them with boy shorts underneath.

5. Leave Your Chopsticks Stuck In Rice

Chopsticks that are placed upright resembles the incense burnt at funeral and it is also said to bring bad luck. Bringing up death at the dinner table is definitely not a good idea.

december 3 // sightseeing

studying may be fun, but there’re only 2,5 weeks left. i don’t know if i’ll ever have a chance to visit Korea once again, so I thought I must take the most of this journey. i’ll always have time to keep up with my homework, but memories are much more valuable.

The Signs In Korea | Your Trip In Autumn | Will You Meet Someone?

🍂 Aries is a solo traveller. Headstrong and adventurous, you end up in Seoul by yourself but quickly make new friends who show you the Korean countryside and mountains wherw you trek and take amazing photos. You may not find love, but you're still in touch with them after the trip - and there were a couple of cute people who caught your eye...

🍂 For Taurus, the brilliant colors of a Korean autumn take you to a sensual heaven. Korea is full of amazing seasonal produce inspired by the natural world so now is the perfect time to travel. From traditional tea cookies to authentic kimchi there is never a boring moment.

🍂 As a Gemini, you've never wanted to stay tied to one thing for too long. As a result, you don't just stay in Seoul but find yourself travelling the country, checking out everything from remote trails to temples to regional specialities in Busan. There's not really much time for anything else in your packed itinery - but in the end it doesn't matter. You may be on a shoestring, but you're coming back next year.

🍂 As a Cancer, you have always been connected to the home and to your fourth house. On this trip you find yourself curled uo against the autumn chill in a traditional teahouse, after which the parents of your friends invite you back foe authentic cooking and more delicious hot tea. Warmed up from the inside, you don't want to leave, and you decide to stay another month in Korea. There's still time to find love!

🍂 Being a limelight-loving Leo, you naturally have to spend the time checking out Gangnam and the most loved spots of your favourite Kpop and Kdrama stars. You take tons of photos. It's sometimes hard to imagine yourself in their shoes, but in the end it doesn't matter. That cute person in the saju cafe was looking at you for way longer than they had any right to...

🍂 For Virgo, any trip has to be practical and take comfort into account. But the hotels are sparkling and top notch, and as you spend your time exploring the city, you begin to relax. In fact, browsing through cute Korean stationary and K fashion bring out your fun loving side enough that you end up striking up a conversatio n ;)

🍂 Hello Libra - you thrive in Seoul. In fact, you don't want to go back. As a sign of balance, a different culture completes you and broadens your worldview. You don't find love. However, you might find yourself instead.

🍂 Scorpio - you are the kind of person who looks at the hidden depths. As a result, Korean urban legends, mythology, and haunted places are perfect for you. You even meet another scorpio who introduces you to Korean horror and takes you to the parts of the city no tourists see. Til death do us part?

🍂 For Sagittarius, your bold and proactive attitude means you quickly get involved in thw dating scene. You also have no trouble singing karaoke with friends or just strolling in a local park. As a result, you find love - and you may even decide to stay in Seoul to see it blossom.

🍂 Earthly and traditional Capricorn has a deep sense of history. You spend your time visiting royal palaces and marvelling at historical Korean culture. Sometimes, the bright lights of Seoul shake you out of your reverie. You may not find love, but you are so involved it's a kind of romance in itself.

🍂 For Aquarius, Korea is almost like a spiritual experience. You've always been interested in the wider universe and a trip spent amongst shrines, temples, and untouched forests fulfills this deep within you. You may not find love, but you also may not need it.

🍂 Pisces, you have always been different and very dreamy. Somehow, as things come to pass, you find yourself far from the capital on the south coast, heading over to Jeju Island with a special someone. Unfortunately, life calls you back home - but you stay in a relationship. And despite the distance between you, you find it doesn't matter.

Days of Transit and Films

Living in Australia, the first day of travel is almost always the most uneventful. Why? Because in order to reach any other country (besides New Zealand) involves a bloody long flight. So, it was with my trip to Japan via ANA (which took about 9 hours and 45 minutes or so). It also didn't help that there was congestion at Sydney airport, which delayed our departure time by upwards of thirty minutes. By the time we landed in Tokyo, it was nearly 9 PM local time and bleachpanda and I needed to go through customs, collect our baggage and check-in to our hotel.

Thankfully, getting through immigration didn't take too long for either me or bleachpanda. With our luggage in tow, we breezed through quarantine and went about securing ourselves a taxi to take us to our hotel for the night: Toyoko Inn II in Haneda.

On the 9 hour flight over to Japan, I kept myself entertained with several films while bleachpanda battled with motion sickness. Still, she managed to watch Barbie despite sleeping for the majority of our time onboard. As for me, the films I watched included: The Marsh King's Daughter, Puppy Love, Lyle, Lyle Crocodile and Dumb Money. An eclectic collection of films that started off strong in the psychological thriller genre before dovetailing into a lighthearted romantic comedy and animated child film. Then I finished it off by watching a meme-heavy film about gamers rising up and sticking it to the man.

Sadly, during my flight over to Japan, I didn't get much reading done. Nor could bleachpanda and I have any riveting conversations given her proclivity for motion sickness and had her eyes closed every time our plane hit turbulence.

But what to say about the films I binged on the way to Japan? Well, The Marsh King's Daughter was a movie that tickled my interest a few months back when I first saw the trailer. It starred Daisy Ridley and Ben Mendelsohn and so was immediately on my radar as a weighty exploration of the human condition. While it wasn't exactly the most riveting watch, it still managed to capture my attention for the duration of its run-time.

After enjoying the tension-heavy film about family, love and toxic obsession, I decided to watch something I could completely shut my brain off. Enter: Puppy Love starring Lucy Hale and Grant Gustin (two actors who caught my eye back when they were starting out. One featured in a guilty pleasure show I watched back when I was in university - Pretty Little Liars - and the other started out as an antagonist in Glee before becoming the better version of the fastest man alive).

From Puppy Love, I hopped over to watch a film about a singing crocodile and the wacky plot shenanigans that come from a half-animated, half live-action musical starring the likes of Shawn Mendes, Javier Bardem and Constance Wu. Is it strange that there's a singing crocodile whose exact origins were never exactly explained? Yes, but the songs are catchy and it's a nice feel-good film.

And even though Lyle doesn't speak, he can readily communicate through song - which, admittedly, beggars belief but these aren't things one should think too hard about.

Then finally, after nearly nine hours in the air, and fully from a sandwich dinner, I settled the headphones back onto my ears to watch Dumb Money. Though I never did watch it in cinemas, I did read about how people were using the RobinHood app to hold the line against The Man when it came to the shorting of the GameStop stock back in 2021.

At 8:57 PM, we landed at Haneda airport. After our plane taxied to its designated spot, we traipsed down a set of stairs for the waiting shuttles that took us to the terminal proper. Due to the late hour, we were the only flight going through immigration and customs, smoothing exiting the airport about twenty minutes to ten.

One short taxi ride later took us to our hotel close by. I, of course, managed to embarrass myself by trying to close the automatic door of the cab. It was only when I heard the driver tell me twice to stop that I realised the error of my ways. Still, we managed to check-in to the hotel only a few minutes past 10 PM. Once inside, bleachpanda and I dumped our gear and flopped onto the bed, exhausted from a day on the plane.

The next day, I woke up early and puttered around our shared room as bleachpanda snored away. At 7 AM, bleachpanda's alarm went off and after spending 45 getting ready, the two of us headed down for breakfast. Once full, we visited a local shrine nearby as well as a 7-Eleven wherein I bought a banana and milk.

Returning to our hotel at around 9:30, it was back on the road for the two of us as we headed to Narita airport for our flight to Seoul. We arrived with barely any time to spare as we checked-in for our flight and sped through security. Still, we managed to try out Japan McDonald's. I picked a Teriyaki Pork Burger (which was mildly disappointing because of how dense the sauce was) and bleachpanda enjoyed an Ebi Burger. Full, we boarded our flight to Seoul, wherein we were treated with another heavy meal.

At 4:30 PM, we landed at Incheon International. On the flight, I watched Venom: Let There Be Carnage while belachpanda slept on, too ill from the turbulent start to our flight. The sequel to Sony's Venom was a fun watch, even if it didn't win any awards. Tom Hardy, I can most assuredly say, is living his best Eddie Brock life, given the banter between our two protagonists.

In fact, it reminded me of my relationship with bleachpanda during the trip. I'd tease and aggravate her, she'd threaten to murder me in my sleep...

And yet she'd still comply with all my walking demands as we managed to rack up a 14,500 step count average over the three weeks we were out and about on our overseas trip.

Once we grabbed our luggage and went through South Korea immigration, we took a taxi to our hotel in the heart of Seoul. After wechecked in to our hotel in South Korea: ENA Suite Namdaemun, bleachpanda and I ventured out to enjoy a nice meal out at Michelin Star winner: Korea Ginseng Chicken Soup.

It’s not an END but an AND...

It’s been a little more than a year since I have disappeared from here and I think it’s now time for me to officially put an end to my journey on Tumblr.

I started this blog in 2014 when I entered high school to share my love and support for Super Junior. They accompanied me throughout my teenage years but as time passed and I was advancing in my life I had less and less time to keep up with them and share their news here.

I’m very glad to have done this blog because thanks to it, I met many nice people, I improved my English and Korean, in a way doing it everyday comforted me when I was having bad times and I also learned many things about myself as well as new skills.

Now I’m done with my studies and I recently started working as a freelancer... in the music industry! Actually, the fact I’ve wanted to work in the music industry for a long time has something to do with Super Junior and Kpop in general. Throughout the years in spent listening and supporting Super Junior (and other Kpop artists) I learned many things about the industry that are now helping me a lot with my work.

Finally, I’m also planning to travel to South Korea next year for a whole year. I wish to learn more about the culture, new technologies (like the metaverse and web3) as well as more about the music industry there. It may also be time for my dream of seeing a Super Junior’s concert to come true, who knows!!

Anyway I would like to thanks you all for the love and support you gave to my blog during all this year and the strength I get thanks to you. And if you’re interested in graphic design/art or if you just want to follow my journey when I go to South Korea you can follow me on Instagram : @leoandyou_design

Thanks again and I wish you all an amazing life! Keep on dreaming because those dreams may actually come true one day :)

------------------------------------------------------------

Ça va maintenant faire un peu plus d’un an que j’ai disparu d’ici et je pense qu’il est temps pour moi d’officiellement arrêter mon voyage sur Tumblr.

J’ai commencé ce blog en 2014 quand je suis entrée au lycée pour partager mon amour et mon soutien pour Super Junior. Ils m’ont accompagnée pendant toute mon adolescence mais plus le temps passait et plus j’avançais dans ma vie, moins j’avais de temps pour être au courant de tout ce qu’ils faisaient et de le partager ici.

Je suis vraiment heureuse d’avoir fait ce blog car grâce à lui, j’ai rencontré beaucoup de personnes merveilleuses, j’ai amélioré mon anglais et coréen, dans un sens faire ce blog tous les jours me confortait pendant les moments difficiles que j’ai pu traverser et j’ai aussi pu apprendre beaucoup de choses sur moi-même ainsi que de nouvelles compétences.

Maintenant, j’ai terminé mes études et j’ai récemment commencé à travailler en temps que freelance... dans le secteur musical! En fait, c’est en parti à cause de Super Junior et de la Kpop en général que j’ai toujours voulu travailler dans le secteur musical. Et pendant les années que j’ai passées à écouter et soutenir Super Junior (ainsi que d’autres artistes de Kpop) j’ai appris beaucoup de choses sur ce secteur qui me sont aujourd’hui d’une grande utilité dans mon travail.

Enfin, je prévois de voyager en Corée du Sud l’année prochaine pour une année complète. Là-bas, j’espère pouvoir en apprendre plus sur la culture, les nouvelles technologies (métavers, web3...) et l’industrie musicale. Ça sera aussi peut-être l’occasion pour moi de réaliser mon rêve de voir un concert de Super Junior, qui sait !!

En tout cas, je voulais tous vous remercier pour l’amour et le soutien que vous avez donnés à mon blog pendant toutes ces années et la force que vous m’avez apporté. Et si vous êtes intéressés par le design graphique/l’art ou si vous voulez juste suivre mon cheminement en Corée vous pouvez me suivre sur Instagram : @leoandyou_design

Merci encore et je vous souhaite à tous une vie merveilleuse ! Continuez de rêver car ces rêves se réaliseront peut-être un jour pour de vrai :)
