Seoul - Day 2,3

Day 2 was church day. I went to the English branch they have, where most members work at the American military base. For the first time I rode the metro and was quite impressed to see how organized, clean and futuristic subway stations are here.

I also went to e-Mart, which is a Walmart like supermarket network here in Korea. E-mart is quite different from supermarkets you see in USA or Brazil. The E-Mart I went to was huge, where I would say that 1/4 of it was fresh food, such as fruit, vegetables, meat, etc... Another interesting thing about it was that they would have at least a sales person in several aisles that would stay there and talk to people about the products in that aisle.
Day 3 was Monday and was my first day at my company's office. My director also taught me some Korean good manners, such as:
- You don't whistle
- You don't give your hand to your boss. You wait him to give his hand, and then you shake.
- You don't pat on your boss' shoulder
