How popular are the other e-sports in Korea ? Do they talk about WC3 or Counter Strike as much as they talk about Starcraft ? Are people like ReMinD, Lyn or Moon as popular as Flash, JaeDong or Bisu ? | ||

Are people like ReMinD, Lyn or Moon as popular as Flash, JaeDong or Bisu ? I don't hear much about WC3. They seem to play weird shit here, games I've never heard of are really popular. There's a couple of WC3 mods (not dota!) that seem to be really popular as well, but again, not anything I've ever heard of. WoW is really popular as well, obv =/ Lol @ Manifesto & Chill - but I gotta give it to Chill "Englishee" would be most accurate  | ||

In Korea, your age is different than it is elsewhere. So for example, I'm 22, but in Korea I would be 24. This is because when you are born in Korea, you are age 1, not age 0. They also add an extra year somewhere in adolescence. So if you come to Korea, and someone asks your age, add two years! | ||

foreigners, probably they wouldn't care so much, but at least show that you know some korean culture and are not ignorant by being respectful of elders and older people in general. 1. Always give up your seat for an old man/woman in a bus or subway. Koreans don't expect foreigners to stand up for the elderly but if you do, you would seem very well-mannered and polite. 2. If you want to speak korean to a korean, always use formal speech. Always. I guess if your non-asian, it wouldn't look as bad, but still, when I see white people just using casual speech to koreans, it is very awkward and not polite-looking, even if they do not mean to be. Unless your talking to a kid, always use formal speech to be on the safe side. I can't think of any other tips for foreigners off the top of my head right now but feel free to ask me any specific questions about life in korea. | ||

There's no KFC or Popeyes or anything that I've seen, but the Koreans love fried chicken and pizza as their fast food, most places sell them together  So there's loads of Korean places that sell fried chicken! My favourite place is a little place down the road from my place - awesome nuggets :D | ||
