Difference number 2: Korean bathrooms.
All of the bathrooms I have come across in Korea (apart from the occasional motel) have no shower stall or bath. Rather, they just have a shower head in the middle of the bathroom, or annoyingly over the sink. The water then just drains through a drain in the floor. This may seem strange, but it has come to grow on me. It makes cleaning the bathroom really easy, you can just use the shower hose to spray down the entire room. The downsides are that the bathroom floor is often wet, this is easily combated by wearing specific bathroom slippers:
I am in the habit of putting on bathroom slippers now, so I do it even if the floor is dry. The second downside is things getting wet, but after a few showers you work out where you can and can't put things, plus most stuff in the bathrooms is waterproof anyway!
In other news Brenton took my away for my birthday last weekend (we had a 3 day weekend, woo hoo) to Chuncheon. It was a really nice river town and we had a great time relaxing and being tourists with a million other Koreans. Here are some pictures:
