Traditional bowing

There is a proper way to bow when you greet someone or enter their home. Many Koreans do a short bow during the day but if you were invited to someone's house for tea - you would bow like this video. These are Murray State people practicing the bow!

  1. Hey Will!

    I LOVE reading your blog each day! Looks like you and your Mom are having a wonderful time. I also love seeing Shawn Smee...I used to work with him at MSU a VERY long time ago! Enjoy the rest of your trip and I will "tune in" each day! Love to your Mom!

  3. Will - It seems like it would take a long time to greet people when you went to their house. But maybe the Korean people are more relaxed - not in a hurry like we are!
    The bowing video worked well. Now I will check the music one!
    Love, grandma
