Daily Newspapers
There are English newspapers in Korea, the most
popular of which are the Korea Times, the Korea
Herald, and the JoongAng Daily, all of which have
websites where you can read the news or
subscribe to the paper.
3. Banking
5. Major Korean Dishes & Table Manners
To open a bank account, you need to visit the
bank in person and present your passport and
Alien Registration Card. Korea’s banking hours
are 09:00-16:30 on weekdays. You can also use
ATMs or on-line banking through mobile phones
or the internet. Almost all of the banks run
English websites for foreigners’ online banking.
Korean cuisine is made up of rice, soup, and three to four side dishes, including
Kimchi. Koreans use a spoon to eat rice and soup, and chopsticks for side
dishes. Koreans don’t hold their bowls or plates while eating. We believe
sharing food from one bowl makes for closer relationships.
4. Post Office
There are several post offices in Dong-gu, all of
which provide domestic and international service.
Located in Jeonha-dong, the Dong Ulsan Post

Kimchi/
You can’t say that you’ve been to Korea if you
haven’t tried Kimchi, a fermented vegetable dish
that can be stored for a long time. There are many
varieties of Kimchi that differ due to region
and/or ingredients. Although Kimchi is a basic
side dish, it can also be a major ingredient in other popular dishes, such as
Kimchi Jjikae (Kimchi stew), Kimchi pancakes, Kimchi fried rice, and Kimchi
ramyeon. Kimchi is gaining worldwide popularity for its nutritional value.
Galbi/
Galbi is ribs, which can be either stewed or
barbecued.
Samgyetang/
Samgyetang is a nutritious soup that is especially
popular during the summer. Traditionally Koreans
have been eaten hot meat dishes, such as
Samgyetang, on the three hottest days of the
year to increase their stamina. A bowl of
Samgyetang has one small chicken, rice, ginseng, garlic, and jujubes.
)&
Experiencing a Korean public
bathhouse is a truly pleasurable experience. Koreans love
public bathhouses, and most
people visit one at least once a
week (except during the summer
season). Men and women have
separate areas, which they
enjoy while nude. There are
several pools at a bathhouse
with different temperatures or
different mineral contents. Before entering the pool, you need to take a shower.
Body scrubbing is also part of Korean baths. Using a special towel, people
scrub their bodies to remove dirt and dead skin. Most bathhouses also offer a
body scrubbing service for 15,000- 20,000. The body scrub usually lasts an
hour body and includes a massage.
Jjimjilbangs, or saunas, are similar to the bathhouses. They are a popular way
to relax for Koreans. There are many public bathhouses that also offer saunas.
Unlike the baths, people wear pajama-like outfits and men and women use the
same saunas. There are many saunas that differ according to temperature,
minerals, or the material of the room’s walls.
Soju/
In Korean, the only thing more beloved than Soju
is Kimchi. Soju, a traditional alcohol unique to
Korea, is the most popular drink in the country.
The average amount of alcohol is about 21%, and
each province has its own taste or brand of Soju.
It goes especially well with Samgyepsal (barbequed pork), but Koreans are not
afraid to drink it with any other dish.
6. Korean Public Baths (Mokyoktang/
Saunas (Jjimjilbang/
)
- Koreans list their family name first, then their given name, which usually
consists of two or three syllables. Unlike western societies, Korean women
don’t change their family names after marriage.

family. During Seol, people eat ‘Tteokguk’ (rice cake soup)

‘Saebaedon’ (money given after Saebae) from adults.

- Patting children on the back or on the head is very common and expresses

unfamiliar people; causal expressions are used between friends. Formal
expressions usually end with “Yo”.

Korea.

older, it is considered very
rude to look straight at
them.
