As expected, living in Korea provides 
a different lifestyle than in America. Although, the basic necessities of life like clothing, food, & shelter are still present, there are different ways in which we[Koreans & Americans] handle these situations. These unique perspectives I believe, are based on cultural influences. Since my arrival in Korea, I have had many discussions with my colleagues who are always more than willing to give me a better insight to understanding the Korean culture (Thank Guys!). As a result, I have learned quite a bit about the Korean culture (even though there is so much more to explore culturally) and often enjoy taking the opportunity to share this information with my American friends here in Seoul, who don't have the same type of exposure to the Korean world that I live. Based on their own unique experiences, they are able to share another part of the Korean cultural equation. Through such intriguing discussions on Korean culture, it has helped me to understand and appreciate the environment that we now live.

I thought it might be interesting to chronicle a few of these differences that I have found along the way. Therefore, for the next several days, I will attempt to properly examine a few of these differences. Feel free to read them, add your opinions, or ask questions via comment. Keep in mind that while some of these differences are major, others don't matter in the grand scheme of life....BUT, they are interesting just the same. I believe that in order to understand a culture, you have to understand some of the REASONS why the people behave as they do.
So sit back, read on & enjoy! This should be good...
Thanx, K
P.S. Don't forget to comment, it's nice to know that people are actually reading this stuff!
