Getting to Know One's Host Country

So I have learned a lot of "fun facts" about Korea since I got here. I thought it might be a good idea to share some of them, just in case anyone is planning a vacation to South Korea anytime soon. So here is some need to know stuff..

1. Don't Tip! - it is in fact a sign of disrespect to tip at restaurants and such. This being said, cab drivers will break just about any law you want for a tip.

2. Watch what you eat, it could be dog! - If you don't want to know don't ask. I have been told chicken is always chicken.

3. The Korean's don't care about punctuality - I have heard you could be up to a half hour late to a host's house and they won't find it offensive in the least bit.

4. No streaming video over the internet - seriously, looks like I am missing the last season of lost and, a season of house.
5. The U.S. military is here to protect the North - I know it sounds backwards but it is true. The only reason the South isn't storming north is because the U.S. military is a guest here and, that would not be nice to us.

This place is so backwards!
