1. Pregnant women are very important

In South Korea, pregnant women get a $500 credit card for medical treatment and a special trinket which they can use for public transportation. This is a really cool thing as they have special pink chairs in subways which activate when a pregnant woman wearing a trinket get in.

2. Bus stops with digital panels that show the bus schedule

The South Korea buses are driven by drivers wearing uniforms with white gloves and sunglasses, have air conditioning and operate 24/7. However, if you are with other 2 or 3 friends, you could also take the taxi at the same price. You gotta’ pay for luxury.

14. What’s your sign…pardon, blood type?

15. The South Korean flag encapsulates the central belief system of most Koreans

You know the South Korea flag, but do you know what it represents? From Buddhism to Taoism, and Yin Yang, the flag is the symbol of unity and peace. Those black lines on the sides are the fundamental elements of our world: heaven, water, earth and fire.
