What is the etiquette for travel in South Korea?

In South Korea, showing respect for local customs enhances your travel experience. Remove your shoes when entering homes, temples, and some traditional restaurants. Bow slightly when greeting people, especially elders. When dining, wait for elders to begin eating before you start, and use both hands when giving or receiving items. Public behaviour should be modest and quiet, particularly on public transportation and in temples. Learning a few basic Korean phrases is appreciated by locals and can make your interactions more meaningful.
