It's a kind of events in Korea school. Principles announce us about school event stuff like that. A principle hand in testimonial to a student who already planned to receive it and we have to applaud. we have to put hands on left chest toward Korean flag. or singing school song and the patriotic song. Every order I wrote above is mixed up. There is a fixed guide to do this in each school.Kafkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003928351532930132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6827323908186607886.post-82025045085719471782010-05-28T15:22:51.844-07:002010-05-28T15:22:51.844-07:00No, I didn't know that.

THat still makes for an interesting policy.<br /><br />#8, they didn't let people drink inside the venue where the singer was playing. THey had guards (korean girls) walking around nabbing people. But I'm sure there's places that don't care, and obviously you can drink at music festivals.Ben Gwynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11990651961730648509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6827323908186607886.post-27839643796804612362010-05-19T07:50:29.345-07:002010-05-19T07:50:29.345-07:00Nice post - a couple things for readers to be awar...Nice post - a couple things for readers to be aware of.<br /><br />Regarding #7: that's only true after-hours. If the bank is closed and the ATM is open, it'll charge you. If it's doing that when the bank is open, there's a problem. Head inside to withdraw your money.<br /><br />Regarding #8: hard to call that a general rule - drinking at concerts happens whether it's 'permitted' or not. Unless the only entrance is guarded by a bouncer checking your bags every time, it's going to happen. It really depends on the venue - some places don't want to cleanup afterwards.Chris in South Koreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07114300133329984235noreply@blogger.com
