Difference between Korea and America
There is a lot of difference of time in Korea and America.
In my country, most people are usually in a hurry, but in my opinion Americans usually don't hurry. Because Koreans like speed, they behave fast. In a company, a higher officer wants fast progress from a lower officer. Not only don't Koreans want to wait in a long line, but a clerk also counts fast. Moreover, many drivers drive fast. Furthermore, the fastest internet line in the world is in Korea; in fact, the line speed is around 100 mega bytes a second, and almost all Koreans have internet lines in their home. My brother's university teacher said that the average having internet lines in their home was almost 100% in Korea. In short, Koreans like speed.
However, there are a lot of problems, too. In a hurry, it is easy to get angry. Also, there are a lot of accidents because of the fast driving, more so than in other countries. However, the children use the internet easier than before, and it causes many problems; for example, children use computers lots of time, furthermore, sometimes they join adults' home pages, which aren't good for children. Also, adults spend too much time using computers, such as online games. Not only don't they exercise, but they get exhausted more easily.
At first in this country, it was hard for me to do things more slowly. Now, it's okay. Also I think there are lots of benefits and disadvantages.
Those are cultural differences. Both countries' time culture brings many benefits and disadvantages. If you are in Korea, you should follow Korean culture and rules. Also, I'm following and trying to follow American culture and rules. There is no grade between both cultures. I like both cultures.
