Korean brush their teeth for three times a day! and other amazing facts about koreans.

Almost two months I have been in South Korea and I have met enormous facts about Korea (and I think they're very unique):

1. Korean brush their teeth after every meal in one day! It's more likely to be a lifestyle in Korea to maintain your oral hygiene. All of my colleagues here always brush their teeth after they eat the meal (applied for breakfast, lunch, and dinner). This facts amazes me because it's a very rare activity to done for me, ordinary Indonesian. I just do my regular teethbrushing (night and morning) everyday. Now I am into this habit and I brush my teeth every after-meal.

2. Korean likes ramyeon (instant noodle) and they have a specific pot for cooking ramyeon. Let's call it Ramen Pot. It looks very nice for pot, it has golden colour, medium size, and it is perfect for ramen cooking. From my experience for cooking ramyeon, it can fit up to 4 ramyeon each time. This is how it looks like (maybe you could see it a lot of time if you watch korean drama):

3. Korean likes to eat soup (tang, gug, and jigae) very much and they eat it together. Usually korean soup served in large pot so we could eat it together with friends or family. Here is my opinion about korean soup:
- Korean soup has magic effect, I feel very healthy after eating Korean soup.
- Korean soup always had red pepper in it.
- Korean soup doesn't contain much salt, yeah it's healthy though!
- Korean soup always served at very hot level.
- Korean soup always better served with rice.
And if you are travelling to Korea, I suggest you to try this Sundae Gug or the soup of sundae. I have talked about sundae on my previous post. I like this food very much, it is better eaten at chilly winter day.

4. Korean loves their country so much, they have pride of the nation in their heart. They use Samsung, Hyundai, KIA, LG, Lotte products which are Korea's national product.

5. Korean really likes to drink, specially Soju. Soju is Korea's national liquor which have incredibly cheap price. Worth 1000 Won each bottle. Compare to milk worth 2000 won, soju is categorized as cheap drinks.

6. Korean has modern queen, Queen Yuna. Actually it's Kim Yuna, the famous world figure skating athlete. They love Yuna very much.

7. Korean food has so many side dishes. Even if you only order one portion of beef soup, you will get kimchi, vegetables, dumplings, garlic, etc for the side dishes.

8. There is one ramyoen that tastes very hot, buldak bokkeum myeon. I like spicy and hot food but still this ramyeon is worth to try. You must taste the after burn sensation!

Yeah, that's a few facts about Korea and still plenty of that actually. If you plan to travel to Korea, make sure you taste all of the food because they are amazing.
