Camp Casey area employees and spouses learn Chuseok bowing etiquette at the Yulim Hotel in Dongducheon.
ERIK SLAVIN / S&S
DONGDUCHEON, South Korea — About 30 Camp Casey-area employees and spouses attended a Thanksgiving unlike anything they had ever experienced before Thursday.
Turkey and mashed potatoes were out; fish, kimchee and a host of Korean delicacies were displayed instead for Chuseok, the Korean Thanksgiving holiday happening this weekend.
"The layout is very specific. Everything they do here has a purpose to it," said Camp Casey Red Cross manager Deanna Young, who wore a dazzling pink and blue hanbok ensemble for her first Chuseok.
The event at the Yulim Hotel was sponsored by Morale, Welfare and Recreation and co-hosted by women from the Dongducheon Volunteer Center, who showed the foreign women the intricacies of everything from table arrangement to pouring and drinking tea at the right time.
"Now, it’s not soju or whiskey — don’t drink it like a shot," the announcer said as each woman drank her tea while sitting cross-legged.
Each woman also tried the formal Chuseok bow, a graceful set of motions with the hands placed at face level, followed by a knee bend and a full prostration on the floor.
"That was hard, (especially) doing it and not messing up your gown. They make it look easy," said Amy Hickerson, 1st Brigade’s family readiness support assistant.
The Americans described their own Thanksgiving rituals as something a bit less formal. The most common descriptions involved a family member passed out on the couch in a turkey-induced coma — and lots of football.
"Texas A&M and [University of Texas], that’s the big one," said Aggies fan Rebekah Redus of Dallas, whose husband, Riley, is a second lieutenant with the 2nd Infantry Division’s 1st Battalion, 38th Field Artillery. "This is just completely different. It’s a good experience of a different culture."

ちなみに、韓国人が時々自慢する「東方礼儀の国」は捏造です。
正しくは「東方儀礼之国」。
つまり、儒教の教えにもっとも熱心な東方の国、という意味です。
日本は儒教の儀礼にはまったく興味が無く、一切取り入れていないので、中国の東にある属国が朝鮮だけという事もあり、一番、という称号を得ることが出来たのです。
一人しかいなければ、一番以外になりようがないですからね。

韓国は元々食器を持って食器を口に近付けてた文化
それを金属の食器にしたから熱くて持てない
だから犬食いになった
諸外国は元から食器を持つ文化が無いので食物を口まで運ぶ
犬食いではない
originally they had eaten by closing the mouth to dishes with having the dishes in the Korean tableware culture.
however they had selected to metal dishes, they could not take the dishes too hot.
then they became to eat like dog style.
in other countries,people carry to mouth the food on the table because there is no culture to eat with taking up the dishes.
originally European people does not eat like dog.

Tips on Korean Custom of Bowing
Old and new: bowing plays an integral role in Korean culture as a gesture of respect. / Korea Times
By Tony MacGregor
Contributing Writer
The custom of bowing is habitual and deeply ingrained in Koreans, but it can be a source of anxiety and worry for foreigners. When do I bow? How do I bow? Are there different kinds of bows for different situations? Will I offend my Korean friends if I don't bow?
To find the answers to those questions, I visited Christy Yoo, president of Marie Story ( www.mariestory.co.kr), a program that educates Koreans in explaining their cultural traditions in English.
Bowing isn't the only custom that puzzles foreigners in Korea, but Yoo offered help with all my questions about Korean etiquette.
As a rule of thumb in everyday life, she said, you can bow when people bow to you. Koreans hardly consider bows everyday greetings. ``It's just like shaking hands," she said.
Sometimes, Koreans bow while shaking hands, and it's polite to return the gesture.
She explained that bowing has deep roots in Korean society, probably pre-dating the entry of Buddhism and Confucianism into Korea in the Three Kingdoms period (57 B.C.-668)
Both Buddhism and Christianity had profound impacts on the behavior of Koreans but Confucianism, with its teachings on the position of the individual in society, greatly influenced Korean etiquette.
Confucianism is a system of ethics and behavior that emphasizes the obligations of people towards one another. It stresses duty, loyalty, honor, filial piety, respect for age and seniority and sincerity.
It is based on five different relationships: (1) ruler and subject, (2) husband and wife, (3) parents and children, (4) brothers and sisters and (5) friend and friend.
Respect for age and seniority is still a huge part of Korean culture and influences how one bows to others. ``Koreans feel obligated to ask a person's age. It's not considered disrespectful as it is in Western cultures," Yoo said. ``When we know a person's age, we can show him or her proper respect."
In Korea, it is rare to see an older person standing on a bus and there are special seats on the subways for the elderly (as well as pregnant women and the disabled).
When bowing, the younger person or the person in a lower social position is expected to bow lower than the senior person, but the senior person initiates the bow.
There are different types of bows for different occasions, including apologies or expressions of thanks.
The person apologizing generally bows at about 45 degrees with the head lowered lasting for about the count of three. The worse the offense and the more sincere the apology, the deeper the bow and the more frequent.
It is the same with bows of thanks. In some cases, the person will kneel and bow so deeply that his forehead touches the floor.
These kinds of bows are seen at weddings, when the groom will perform a kneeling bow to the bride's parents as an expression of thanks.
Another custom that often puzzles foreigners is the custom of offering and taking things with two hands from people to whom you wish to show respect.
``It is the custom when giving to older people or people of high status or when accepting something from them to use two hands as a sign of respect. This is especially true with business cards," she said.
Yoo had some encouraging words for foreigners worried about Korean etiquette. ``Koreans are very forgiving of foreigners if they inadvertently break rules," she said.
``Koreans have become very international over the past two decades. They are generally familiar with Western customs and don't expect foreigners to understand all the intricacies of Korean etiquette, so they're usually very understanding and forgiving of any mistakes that foreigners make," she said.

Traditional Way of Bow Down (for female)- Etiquette
Adopt Gong-su position (with your hands):
For men, you put your left hand over your right with fingers straight and arms hanging calm at the waist
Gong-su traditional Korean bow. Thumbs under.
For women, put your right hand on your left, and keep your hands straight facing each other. Thumbs under, and hands clasped at your stomach, right under wherever your Jeogori reaches, which for me wasn't nearly far enough...
Do a Keunjeol (big) bow:
For men, take Gong-su, stand in front of your elder buddy, bend your body until your hands reach the floor, drop your left knee, and bend your right one down until you are sitting on your heels. Slowly lower your head to your hands, which should be in triangle format, still left over right on the floor in front of you and hold for 5 seconds. raise your head, then elbow, and come back up, right knee, then left knee. All in fluid motion of course.
For women, take Gong-su, bring your hands up in nice parallel format so your hands touch your forehead and shield your eyes, bowing your head slightly. Drop the left knee, and bring yourself down like the men, but minding your poofy dress so you don't fall. when you get to the floor, don't drop your hands, but how your body from the waist 45 degrees, and patiently hold for 5 seconds
Gong-su hand position. Come back up, bring up your right knee, trying not to step on your dress, then the left leg, and stand, then after a pause, drop those hands.
Of course, after each of these, short bow with hands at stomach for both genders, I suppose for the performance of bow? sigh. It should be noted that our lady leader in this demonstration nearly bit it twice on her own poofy dress, giving me hope that it is not just me, but that the procedure is hopelessly hard, and therefore probably pleasing to elders, who don't get out much anymore, and need any entertainment they can get. Common bows are called Pyeongjeol, and can apparently be used at any time between equals, though it still involves hitting the floor, and really should only be used for super super successful people or really super duper ancient people. I think.
Koreans I've met in my short time here usually opt for the quicky arms to the stomach head bow, of different lengths depending upon situation and people involved, but I'm eagerly awaiting the day when someone busts out Pyeongjeol!
So far, I find Korea most fascinating because of it's incredible similarities in industry and cultural function, tempered by that rare idiosyncrasy which reminds me that whoa, I'm not in Kansas anymore, but quite a different culture with vastly different internal views, values, and culture. Source

Koreans take bowing very seriously, and though many will tolerate a handshake from a westerner, I am told they respond warmly to avid bow-ers
Korean lady fixes my Hanbok dress
. Today we set out to learn about certain special bows. First, one must dress for the occasion. In this case, we put on Hanbok, which is traditional Korean dress.
For women, Hanbok is an undergarmet Chima and a wrap-around skirt. On top of this is a decorative top called Jeogori. There are ribbons fastening the Jeogori which hang down the left side of the chest, and are called Goreum. Apparently these must be even, or all will not be right with the world.
Men's Hanbok a top called Jeogori, and baggy pants called Baji. Over this is a vest called Jokki and jacket called Magoja, all colorful and made out of silk. Though I didn't see these on our visit, apparently there is also an overcoat called Po.
Once you've put on all these pretty and extensive clothing, you can begin to bow. If this is a big event, such as one of the big Korean holidays, attend a formal ceremony, or hang out with elders, you'll probably have to know this one:
Adopt Gong-su position (with your hands):
For men, you put your left hand over your right with fingers straight and arms hanging calm at the waist

. Thumbs under.
For women, put your right hand on your left, and keep your hands straight facing each other. Thumbs under, and hands clasped at your stomach, right under wherever your Jeogori reaches, which for me wasn't nearly far enough...

Bowing etiquette
Every society has its own etiquette to greet people, and Korea with its long history and tradition is no exception to that rule. Today, much of traditional etiquette that remains is usually associated with celebrating family occasions or special holidays and is much simplified in form.
Among the traditional etiquettes that continues to be practiced in Korea, there is "jeol" an act of bowing down on knees.
It is a Korean way of acknowledging families and colleagues, classified into four kinds.
First there is “ban-jeol” meaning “half-bow.” It is an elder’s blowing response toward young ones or those in lower status. Then there’s “pyong-jeol” meaning “ordinary bow.” Such is a light bow exchanged between friends and others similar in status.
“Keun-jeol” meaning “deep bow” which is conducted during birthdays and banquets, do not require elders to respond to junior’s bows. A very deep blow meaning “bae-rye” takes place during four most important rituals in life, the coming-of-age ceremony, marriage, funeral and ancestral rites.
Today, jeol is not necessarily practiced in daily basis, but comes in handy when visiting Korean houses during special holidays and family occasions. In fact, while daily light jeols are hardly practiced, deep bows managed to go on due to this reason.
The deep bowing that takes place on “Seollal,” or Lunar New Year's day, is called "sebae" and is usually conducted with the whole extended family present. They would all gather in one place to pay their respects to the eldest family members, starting with the first son and continuing to the other siblings.
A man must fold his two hands together - left hand covering right hand - kneeling and bringing his head all the way down to the ground for a deep bow, with his elbows out away from the body. When bowing down, the left leg must bend first.
In the woman's case the right hand folds on top of the left, with hands and elbows raised to shoulder level. With eyes cast downward, she must sit with her left leg bending first, followed by her right and bow only halfway down. In return, the elders give a blessing or in the case of little children, some pocket money or a gift.
It was a custom for man to make a deep bow at least once and woman at least twice. At the funeral, however, the bowing should be twice the number of regular bows
In the funeral, the traditional custom was to give a deep bow and "gok," an exaggerated cry or wail to fit the mood. Gok is no longer necessary these days. One can either choose some chrysanthemums or put them in front of the portrait of the deceased or light one of the incense sticks.
The bowing in the funeral takes place two and half times. To the representative of the bereaved family, one can make another deep bow and a half. On the other hand, depending on one's religion, such bowing is often replaced by a silent prayer with one's head bowed to show respect. There's also a small gift box where one can leave an envelope of condolence money.
Another kind of bow takes place upon a visit to the ancestral grave, which also includes two full bows. In a ritual known as "seongmyo," the descendants come to check on the family grave, cut grass and clean up the place. After an ancestral ritual, the whole family will gather around for the bowing, just like sebae. This is usually conducted during the national holidays of Seollal and Chuseok.
