Did not ever think that keeping your hands in your pockets would be a sign of everything. It’s amazing how different cultures can be. Thank you for your comment about the chopsticks and the rice, will check it out, since this is a guest post =)

It us done for funeral/ceremonies as food offering to those that have passed.
Don’t go in the height of winter/summer made me laugh. I lived there through those seasons. You can survive!
Another good rule on the subway, watch where you sit, there are designated areas for elderly/infirmed/pregnant people and keep you backpack/bag in front of you. Keep your hands out of your pockets; it’s rude to have your hands in your pockets all the time.

Maybe you should have read this poster before leaving for your trip hehehe Just kidding! In any case, I would keep an eye on your accounts in social media and your bank accounts… just in case! But I am also miss paranoia too, so… Anyway, Thanks for sharing your experience!

It seemed very harmless, dressed in a hanbok and did a prayer ceremony. The girls were very friendly. In the end I donated 6000 won – all I had in my wallet. Very crack up
But on second thoughts though, they took my personal details – name and birthdate, and those of my family members who I was praying for, which would then be written on rice paper and burned at the altar during the ceremony. So now I’m wondering, are they actually trying to use that info to take advantage of my various digital and financial accounts? I don’t know, but my service providers have reasonable security mechanisms anyway. Or maybe make fake social media accounts that imitate us and try to trick our friends….. Hmmmm very dodgy

Exactly! Who would have thought that that could happen without you even knowing, right??

Also “Do not join a cult” made me smile, and think “do people really do that?”, but when I read further I can see why some might fall for it 🙂

The same happened to me (the giggling not joining an actual cult) hahaha. But yes, scams are everywhere… at least this one seems quite harmless! I am happy you enjoyed it =)

I had to chuckle at the “not joining a cult” point but I guess, when we don’t know the culture we are more susceptible to being tricked. Great article!
