I have been sleepless for quite some time and have decided to update with some Korean business drinking/eating tips. LOL!!!!
1. Before you eat when food first arrives on the table, wait until your supervisors/elders start to eat first.
2. When drinking, never "one shot" unless told otherwise...especially on the first shot.
3. When a supervisor/elder shot glass has been emptied, pour the alcohol for them with two hands.
4. Also when you pour a drink, it should be by age first.
5. Before ordering a super expensive dish/entree, make sure you aren't the only one. Check the vibe and order an entree around the same price.
6. When doing a "cheers" shot "clink thing", make sure you put it below the shot glass of your supervisors/elders.
I'm sure there are more but I can't think right now. It's small things like these that people look at sometimes...poor john couldn't get it right....LOL!!!!!!!!!!!
Just be mindful of others before yourself and you should do fine. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *ahem* SK
edit-
Wow. I never want to be in a Korean corporate dining situation ever.
