Seating
At my first dinner, I found out it was necessary to wait for the older members to sit first, but in Hong Kong we don't need to wait for the elderly. I felt very surprised because it was very different from Hong Kong. But I still need to follow the custom.

Thing people should or shouldn't do
When I had a meal with my host family . I was not allowed to hold the rice bowl in my hand. While in Hong Kong it was not allowed to stick chopsticks in a bowl of rice . I felt sad because I held the rice bowl in my hand . My host family got angry of this and said ' Don't hold the bowl on your hands .

Utensils
In Hong Kong we used chopsticks, forks, spoons and knives to eat. However in South Korea people only used spoons and chopsticks. I am glad because the utensils are the same. I can eat fast.

Rice bowl
In South Korea we can not use chopsticks to eat rice, however Hong Kong people can not use fork to eat rice. They are very different. I feel sorry because I can only use chopsticks to eat rice.

What have I learnt?
After the trip, I learnt that I need to respect other countries customs, if not the people in that country will get angry. In that trip I felt pleased because the host family was good to me
