Interesting to know and learn

Came across this article from Hansik.org a while ago.  Here are three Korean table manners which I find rather interesting :
1) Don't put your spoon and chopsticks down on the table while someone's still eating. (Oopss...I can easily make this mistake cos I tend to eat fast! My dear Korean friends, please pardon me if I have made this mistake without realising it! 미안해 )
2) Put your spoon and chopsticks on your plate and put them down on the table once the other person's done eating.  (I think this is rare for me since I eat fast.  Actually, I am trying to slow down my eating pace in order to be slim!! But it is so difficult to eat slowly ㅎㅎㅎ )
3) Don't blow your rice or soup to warm it even though it may be hot. (Oh dear! I think this came so naturally for me!!)
