What I have learnt about South Korea

Everything is last minute.

Soju is good.
Beer and Soju is bad.
Makoli is an acquired taste - if you're into something that tastes like dirty water.

Ginseng has many names but it always tastes like dirt.

Banana milk is the best.

The colder the weather gets, the shorter the girl's skirts are on Saturday night.

It doesn't take much to get on TV.

People spend just as much time taking photos of a festival as they will of you at the festival.

Forget Taekwondo, shopping is the national pastime.

All TV ads must be shot in Sydney.

Department store ads should avoid having Korea people in them.

Korean people are some of the kindest and most generous people I've ever met.

Friends and family are only a phone call away but its not the same as a hug.
