Today we discussed table manners from all over the world. Please answer the following questions in your blog.
Have you ever eaten in a foreign restaurant?
Yes, I have.
Where?
It's Singapore, South Korea and the United Kingdom.
What did you eat?
It is Chinese food, Korean-style grilled beef, sandwich and so on.
Did you make any mistakes?
Yes, I did. I especially remember what it happened in Korea.
Please explain your experience. Did you learn anything?
Okay. When I ate yaki-niku in Korea, I felt humiliated at the restaurant.
I knew, I knew Korean-style grilled beef,
but I didn't know what to do.
So, I normally ate beef; grilled beef by myself, picked and ate it.
Then, I got yelled at by the clerk.
It seemed that I shouldn't do anything except eating.
In addition, I didn't eat kimchi because I don't like it.
Then, I got yelled at her again, and she said "eat kimchi!"
I was surprised and said "I can't eat it. I'm sorry."
Then, she was disagreeably amazed.
I was surprised again.
In Korea, it is nothing special that people eat kimchi.
In other words, not eating kimchi is strange.
Therefore, it seemed,
what I didn't eat kimchi doesn't look good to her.
I learned that it is important
"when in Rome, do as the Romans do"
So, "when in Korea, do as the Koreans do!" ha ha!

I have never been to Korea.
But I thought Korea is similar to Japan.
And I agree. It is important for us to mind "when in Rome, do as the Romans do"
Hello♪Your blog comments are very interesting!! They are very fun♪I like kimuchi very much because it is very delicious for me, but I think kimuchi is very storong smell. I was surprised at Korean. Almost people likes kimuchi...It is very fantastic, but Korean kimuchi looks like very strong taste....
