				| When we first arrived in Korea, everything was new and bizarre.  The strange little things - the cultural differences-  that made you laugh or have one of those moments came thick and fast.  Over time, we lose that initial wonder and surprise; our lives be come more mundane and we forget... 
 This thread is to remember those first moments that we all had...
 
 Smoking in Toilets:  This is a bizarre habit of Koreans.  A friend advised me to go and smoke in the toilet.  It was like a smoking room at the airport.  I smoked outside in the fresh air instead.
 
 Bowing at Department Stores: Makes you feel a bit like a king, huh?
 
 Oseo-O-ship-si-o!!:  First time I ever entered a Hof, I thought there was a fight about to erupt.  Turns out they were just happy we had arrived.
 
 Feel free to add some of your own...
