The national average in South Korea is about $30,000, while the average in our country is only $7,000.

So the salaries of the locals are really high.

Compared with China, South Korea is far behind China. If you do a job, you get a salary that is two and a half times that of China.

Although the salary is high, the consumption is not low!

For example, in South Korea, the monthly salary of a waiter is usually between 12,000 and 13,000. In China, whether it is a big city or a small city, the salary of a waiter is about three or five thousand.

South Korea is the fastest country in the world, although Huawei's 5G technology is very good, but South Korea is a technologically advanced country after all, and their network speed is also faster than that of Huaxia.

Locally, you can buy a B-class sedan for about 10 years for only 30,000 yuan. Even if it's second-hand, it's thousands cheaper.

In South Korea, rents in first- and second-tier cities are too high! In some second- and third-tier cities, a small suite costs only two or three thousand yuan.

In terms of interpersonal etiquette, South Korea's high-income people perform better. Even if he is a rich and powerful man.

As soon as you say hello to him, he will bend down and have a much more enthusiastic attitude than you.

Anyone who lives in South Korea should feel this way.

In South Korea, renting is a deposit-based culture; If you pay a lump sum deposit, then the money will not be less.

After paying the money, you won't have to pay rent for two years! When the contract expires, the landlord will refund the deposit in full.

Koreans never say goodbye in **, but end with a long "um". So, whether you're living in Korea or going for tourism;

After the fight, the other party may not say goodbye before they hang up. Don't think the other party is rude! Maybe he's slept with you already!

In South Korea, there is no need for security checks on the subway at all, just swipe it. The Korea Bus Card is not only valid for subways, but also for buses and taxis.

You also have to swipe your card to get on and off buses in South Korea, because buses are charged according to the distance you walk, and if you forget to swipe your card, then you have to charge according to the bus you have been sitting in for a while, and you have to ring the bell when you get off.

In South Korea, more than 80% of men will choose to go to a professional beauty institution to tattoo their eyebrows! Walking on the street, many boys have good eyebrow shapes, and new friends may think that they painted them themselves.

But on closer inspection, it turned out that both of them had tattooed eyebrows. Moreover, for men, combing their eyebrows can indeed enhance their temperament!

If you cut your hair in Korea, you don't need to wash your hair, and most of the barbers are girls!

In the barbershop, in addition to the barber area, there is also a relatively large makeup area, which makes the whole barbershop look more like a salon.

Koreans almost all use credit cards, cash, QR codes are really rarely used; In our usual taxis, convenience stores, and roadside stalls, there is a function of swiping credit cards!

However, they do not use the POS machine we commonly use, but a small square device, plug it into the phone, drop a drop, and you can complete the card swiping.

No matter where you are, you can see the charging outlet; Whether it's a bus stop, a restaurant, or a café; Even in the bathroom, there are free electrical outlets.

At this point, it is impossible not to say; I have to say that Koreans are quite thoughtful, after all, there are so many electronic devices nowadays, and it is difficult to find a power supply if there is no electricity.

That's what our country does! Have you ever come across an example like this? )

Koreans like to mix soju with beer; There are also people who like to have a drink at the convenience store.

And in Korean bars, almost everyone who enters has to buy a ticket; However, this ticket can be exchanged for a cocktail at the bar.

Smoking will be more prevalent among women in South Korea than in the country; According to a survey of Koreans, there is a high smoking rate among Korean women in their 20s, and the smoking rate among women is also high.

According to statistics, the nutritional intake of women aged 20-30 in South Korea is less than 75% of the total intake, of which 25 10 (10 10) Lack of calcium, iron, and vitamin A.

Whether at home or in a restaurant, Koreans eat kimchi at almost every meal; There is a wide range of kimchi. But the most common ones are cabbage and turnips.

And according to scientific research, kimchi is rich in nutrients; This is undoubtedly a great encouragement for Koreans who have been eating kimchi for a long time, plus most Koreans have their own ancestral braised vegetables, so they have a special affection for kimchi.

Koreans don't wave goodbye. Perhaps peers in South Korea are more receptive to the word "goodbye."

But in front of your boss and elders, you must not do this! Nodding and bowing is the most accurate and polite way.

You must know that Koreans generally speak good English, after all, college graduation has high requirements for English!

Even in the workplace, the entry assessment requires a high level of English. Not only to get a high score, but also to get a perfect score so that you can make a good impression on your boss.

Koreans are not interested in horoscopes, they care more about blood type! Maybe you talk to a Korean friend about horoscopes, and the other party can only say a few perfunctory words.

But if it's a blood type, it's like a hanging, and it will never stop! Whether it's at work, at school, or on a blind date, blood type is very important!

Students at Korean universities only study half a year and have two to three months of winter vacation, and the same is true for summer vacation, and with festivals such as the Mid-Autumn Festival, the vacation is even longer.

Tell you quietly, they will also have a holiday! But college tuition in South Korea is just too expensive!

You know, in Seoul, the capital of South Korea, you can even drink tap water directly. However, even if it is said to be drunk directly, many Koreans will not do it.

At most, they use this water to cook, cook, and so on; When you drink it, you will definitely choose purified water!

In Korea, if you want to enter a large company, you have to go through an exam. It's like a final exam in college, it's formal, it's intense.

Therefore, many people who have already entered the society will squeeze out time to make up for classes; Secretly tell you that most of the time they are before seven o'clock in the morning.

I have to say that Koreans still attach great importance to learning, from primary and secondary schools to college students, in addition to completing the homework assigned by the school, they will choose cram schools.

Moreover, if you don't make up the class, you will be regarded as "outlier" by your classmates. Except for prodigies, they will say that you don't work hard!

On the subway in South Korea, a very strange thing happened! If you don't have enough money on your metro card, you can't leave the station.

And in our country, bank deposits are negative! The next time you top up, it will be automatically deducted. But South Korea's subways don't do that.

The platform design of the Korean subway varies, some are bi-monthly platforms, and some are single-platform;

If you go the wrong way and get on the train at the opposite station, then you have to leave the station and then go to the next stop.

And in the country, we just have to walk up the stairs from the subway station!

On the streets of South Korea, it is common to see flip-flops and socks together; Especially in winter, many people love this combination.

Wearing it like this in winter is because you want to be comfortable, but you are afraid of the cold. But in the summer, many people wear the same clothes, is this their fashion trend?

Korean girls usually put the toilet lid on when they go to the toilet. However, Korean boys or Korean students do not have this habit.

So, if a friend in China wants to go to South Korea, especially a girl, and sees that the lid of the toilet is closed, don't think that there is anything unclean inside! It's very clean!

It's so cold in Korea! Seoul, the capital of South Korea, has temperatures almost below freezing in January.

From October to December, the temperature is generally around 10 degrees. There is a large temperature difference between day and night, so if it's sunny, wear short sleeves, and if it's not sunny, you can only wear a jacket.

People who live in Korea are really not used to the local food! Maybe you've been here and eaten once or twice, and you'll find that Korean food is fresh and delicious.

However, as time went on, she really missed the food of Huaxia! Although they are all home-cooked food, they are very expensive!

Korean fruits are so expensive! If you're a local student, you're thankful that you can eat fresh fruit once a week.

For example, apples, watermelons and other common fruits; Even more than a hundred!

When I first arrived in Korea, it was really difficult to make friends; Every day of study, life will make you feel very lonely.

Life in South Korea is fast-paced, and the people around you are either busy making money or something else; Few people stop to enjoy life.

often call ** to friends at home; She really wanted to cry.

Never have too many illusions about life in Korea. Because it's easy to get disillusioned, not everywhere in Korea is handsome men and women.

You don't have to go to a petty bourgeois café every day, go to a bustling shopping mall! If you want to live this life, you must have strong financial support!

In fact, living in South Korea, the biggest expense of the day is food. Even the most ordinary meal is forty or fifty yuan more expensive than in China.

While the overall income is not bad, this thing is too expensive. After a month, there is not much money left.

Renting an apartment in South Korea can be a very high deposit! For example, for a house worth 2,000 yuan a month, the deposit is 20,000 or 30,000 yuan.

If you can't afford to pay the deposit, you'll have to go to the test rooms with poor conditions and poor facilities.
