Korea: Exam advice and keep your shoes
Keep your partner and pass the exams. Giving shoes as a gift will make your partner run away In South Korea, giving a gift of shoes to your significant other is a big no-no, unless you are looking to end the relationship of course. Aside from the fact that it’s not easy to guess their shoe size, many folks believe that presenting your loved one with a pair of shoes will make him or her run away, and probably while wearing that same pair of shoes too. Toffee makes it stick Korea is one of the countries that is education obsessed which has given rise to a lot of superstitions surrounding exam taking. One of the beliefs states that eating sticky foods like toffee will help the knowledge obtained from the study period or cramming session stick in the student’s mind. It is common to see people give toffee to wish the student good luck for an upcoming exam. The superstition also states that eating slippery food like seaweed soup will have the opposite effect and will cause a student to ‘slip’ down the exam result ranking. |
