Good Hygiene- a Korean Trademark

When I was in Busan, I was able to observe that the Koreans observe good hygiene. It is a common practice to wash their hands after going to the washroom (or bathroom or toilet whatever name they call it). I personally observed this in the hotel and even in the washroom near our training room within the Main Library of the Pusan National University. Not one Korean female student left the washroom without washing her hands. Even if it is a necessity, not all Asian countries (including the Phils unfortunately) practice this washing of the hands.

Aside from good hygiene, there are other things to learn from the Koreans. They love and patronize their own products. LG and Samsung dominates the electronics and appliance arena. These companies also are the topmost benefactors of the public shools. No wonder the public schools are advanced in school and computer equipment. Hyundai, Sannyong and other Korean manufactured cars are also patronized well. Most of the banks are local Korean banks.

While Korea as a country thinks global, its practices and mindsets are mostly local. The people generally know how to promote, take pride and patronize its own products.
