In Korea when we meet each other we shake hands and say “How are you? “. Sometimes when we meet a very friendly person we could hug each other. Usually Korean people would like to express their respect by bowing. All of their children have been disciplined to respect their parents and grandparents. Whenever there are ceremony days, they meet together and they bow to the elders by bending their knees.
These days the Korean society has become more fast and personalized so more people just shake hands and just say hello. From time to time the customs of honor can be seen in only special days. Nevertheless all Korean people regard to good that they respect their elderly people and they want to continue this from generation to generation.
what a great picture! I like traditional Korean clothes^^And bowing 2 I will always greeting you by bowing:)kkkk
