Take a Chill Pill
South Korea is full of poker faces. As we discussed earlier, a South Korean local’s reputation is extremely important to them. It cements their place in society. For this reason, Koreans are good at always keeping their cool, their emotions in check, and refrain from wearing their heart on their sleeve.
You may not care so much about your reputation in South Korea if you don’t plan on staying there, but it doesn’t mean you should act any differently. Being a tourist can be very frustrating. It’s easy to get lost, the language barrier is difficult, and you’re way out of your comfort zone. But make sure you don’t lose it!
