Korean foreign culture

However heavily South Korea is influenced by the west it is indeed a foreign culture, with foreign customs, traditions and values from you. The ability to understand or at least adapt to different cultural values, traditions and ways of thinking are a must. South Koreans do many things, besides using a foreign language, differently than we do in the west. It is important to remain open minded and patient when experiencing cultural differences. Not being able to adapt to working and living in a foreign culture will make your experience a difficult one.
