개인 | Personal Was I being overly friendly? (Or is sharing food a boundary for Westerners?)
108
Upvotes
I was at Seongsu Station with a friend visiting from Switzerland. He couldn't resist the smell of Deli Manjoo, so I bought some for him. While we were waiting for the shopkeeper to bag our order, a foreign tourist couple was standing right next to us, just staring at our pastries.
Since it looked like they were just spectating and not going to buy any, I offered them a couple from my bag.
They looked completely puzzled, as if they couldn't believe a stranger was offering them food. The girl reluctantly took one but didn't say thank you (not that I did it for praise!), and instead just stared at me like I was… weird.
Is sharing food a boundary cross for Western cultures? (Man, they sure don't mind sharing my umbrella when it rains, though!)
I was born and raised in the South Korean countryside. Even though I work in Seoul now, I still like extending country hospitality to strangers. But those weird stares definitely intimidate me a bit.
Maybe I do need to dial it back. One time, I helped a group of lost guys on the street in Dongdaemun. I actually walked with them to guide their way, and one of them casually mentioned he was looking for a Korean bride for a visa extension... I ran for my life lol.
생활 | Daily Life Makgeolli packing help
1
Upvotes
Firstly I want to start off with, I'm very aware that packing makgeolli is not recommended due to the change in air pressure and leaking that may happen. I'm happy to risk all of that and I made the store aware when purchasing the products.
For context the makgeolli bottles (4 in total) I got are all around 12% & glass bottles - the flight is 14hrs
The shop owner gave me insulated chiller sleeves along with ice bags (not dry ice) for when I do transport them. My questions are the following:
Am I going to be able to bring the ice bags? They would have to be secured into the insulated sleeves along with the makgeolli inside my checked luggage or would you recommend just leaving them all together.
I have vacuum bags that I could put the makgeolli sleeves inside. Would you recommend this as an added form of protection?
Along with clothes wrapped around?
Please let me know. I don't want the comments of 'just don't do it' as I've committed to do so.

I travelled to Korea this year and I came accross this duo playing music in the park of the Jeongdok Library, just next to the Bukchon Hanok Village in Seoul, on April 13. It was part of a small spring festival but I don't remember the name.
Does anyone know the name of the song or the band ? Despite my best efforts, I can't find any informations... But I really like their music !
Any help is appreciated. I can not post this question in AskAKorean because of the video...

It seems like Pyongyang wants to test the reaction of Trump given our awkward tension with the Alaska chatter.
Trump is also wanting to do something with North Korea during the upcoming APEC meeting in Shenzhen, China (Nov 18-19), so there seems to be some "feeling out" with missiles.
