Living in Germany is a very pleasant experience for me. So, far I was comparing German life-style with the rest of the world and enjoyed the similarities and uniqueness of German way of lives. German by nature very clear, open, and direct people unlike Britons don't be to appear friendly, say things they don't really mean. Some Germans call this "lying". Here is an interesting article to read the differences between German and Briton way of lives.

Anyeong: Korean 'Hi'

2011-05-25T10:20:00.000-07:00

Korean language has both formal and informal co-notations and people highly observe the slight of tune and formalities. For instance, with elders if someone want to say high then he/she need to say '안녕하세요: Annyeonghaseyo'. But for youngster or same age fellow we use '안녕: Annyeong'. Similarly for bye: formal (안녕히 가세요: Annyeonghi Gaseyo) and informal (안녕히 가세요: Gaseyo).
