Something to keep in mind for taxis and restaurants and other services while visiting South Korea. DO NOT TIP. It isn't done. Frank, that doesn't mean not everyone tips, that means NO ONE TIPS. So please remember that when you are eating in a restaurant or taking a taxi from the airport.
Also, in restaurants, without knowing any better, you may feel neglected by the servers...this is because it is considered rude there to interrupt or bother the patrons. Some restaurants have a button at the table to press to get the servers attention while most you will just need to flag them down. Don't be shy, when you get their attention they will often literally come running. Service is actually for the most part fantastic and far better than Canada. Take into account you aren't leaving a tip and you will start to question why you are tipping in Canada when the service often sucks. Note also that they won't generally ask if you want something to drink to start, just order everything together at the same time.
