Any of you have any experience with S Korean culture and customs?
We are housing two S Korean high school boys this school year. We have enjoyed it but have discovered a few customs we were not anticipating.
1. They are VERY concerned about their appearance! Lots and lots of time in front of the mirror and lots of money on clothes and shoes and shoes and shoes!
2. They spend most of their time in their room on their phones. This may not be as untypical than their American counterparts but it is different in our home. Our kids are out and about in the common areas of the house. We have talked to several friends who have housed some S Korean students and they said it's a cultural thing. All of the S Korean exchange students have done that.
3. This is the weirdest one and we can't figure it out. I asked one of the guys about it the other day and he looked at me like I was crazy and never gave me a straight answer. They do not dry their hands after washing them. Not sure they dry themselves after showers? They come out of the bathroom dripping water everywhere. They come to the supper table with their hands dripping with water. This one drives us nuts!
