8 Things Just Known After First Going to Korea

3/27 Edited to

... Read moreหลังจากที่ได้ไปเที่ยวเกาหลีครั้งแรกจริงๆ ทำให้ผมเข้าใจและสัมผัสได้ว่าประเทศนี้มีวัฒนธรรมที่น่าสนใจและแตกต่างจากไทยอย่างมากครับ อย่างแรกเลยคือเรื่องการแต่งตัวที่คนเกาหลีก็จะชอบใส่สีทึบๆ เช่น ดำ เทา ขาว ซึ่งดูแล้วเป็นโซนเซฟโซนจริงๆ ถ้าใส่สีสดไปก็จะดูโดดเด่นเหมือนนักท่องเที่ยวทันที ที่ผมประหลาดใจอีกเรื่องคือร้านกาแฟที่เปิดกันสายมาก แต่ก็ปิดกันดึก ทำให้รู้เลยว่าไลฟ์สไตล์ของคนเกาหลีที่นี่อาจจะไม่เหมือนบ้านเรา จากที่ลองไปสำรวจช่วงเวลาต่างๆ ร้านกาแฟตอน 10 โมงเช้าส่วนใหญ่ยังไม่เปิด ต้องรอกันหน่อยก่อนที่จะมีร้านเปิดให้บริการ อีกอย่างที่เห็นชัดคือเทรนด์ของคาเฟ่หรือร้านอาหารที่เปลี่ยนเร็วมาก หลายร้านที่มีรีวิวดีบน Google Map แต่เมื่อลองไปช่วงหลังกลับปิดไปแล้ว หลายร้านที่เคยดังในช่วงสองสามเดือนก่อนก็อาจจะหายไปแล้ว นี่คือความเปลี่ยนแปลงที่เร็วมากของพื้นที่นี้ เรื่องการดูแลตัวเองของผู้ชายเกาหลีก็น่าสนใจมากครับ ใส่ใจผิวพรรณและการแต่งตัวดีมาก ผมยังเห็นโซนเครื่องสำอางสำหรับผู้ชายอยู่ตามร้านใหญ่ๆ ในย่านฮงแด เขาจัดเต็มจริงๆ ส่วนเรื่องแบรนด์ที่ชัดเจนว่าไม่ได้ถือโลโก้ใหญ่ๆ แต่เน้นความมินิมอล เรียบง่าย ดูเนี้ยบและมีรสนิยม เป็นอะไรที่แปลกตาและน่าประทับใจมาก อีกจุดที่ไม่เคยเห็นมาก่อนคือนิสัยและพฤติกรรมบนบันไดเลื่อน คนเกาหลีมักจะเดินหรือวิ่งขึ้นบันไดเลื่อนด้วยซ้ำ เพื่อความรวดเร็วในการเดินทาง และอารมณ์ของคนที่นั่นก็ดูจะรวดเร็วและเปลี่ยนแปลงได้ง่าย อย่างเวลาเกิดปัญหาหรือติดขัดจะได้ยินเสียง 'จิ้จ๊ะ' ที่แสดงอารมณ์ออกมาอย่างชัดเจน สุดท้ายคือร้านลับที่อาจจะต้องสังเกตดีๆ ประตูเล็กๆ อยู่ในมุมลับใต้ดิน หรือชั้นบน เหมือนเป็นความลึกลับที่เพิ่มความน่าสนใจของการเที่ยวเกาหลีมากขึ้น โดยรวมการไปเที่ยวเกาหลีครั้งแรกช่วยเปิดมุมมองใหม่ๆ ทั้งในเรื่องวัฒนธรรม การใช้ชีวิต และการสังเกตไลฟ์สไตล์ของคนที่นี่ ใครที่กำลังวางแผนจะไปเที่ยวเกาหลี ผมแนะนำให้เตรียมใจและเปิดรับประสบการณ์ใหม่ๆ ที่อาจจะต่างจากที่เคยคิดไว้เยอะเลยครับ

A close-up of a takeout box containing golden french fries, a wrapped burger with a "Say Cheese" sticker, and a small sauce cup. Text advises to "AVOID FRIED FOOD" due to its high fat content slowing digestion and causing a bloated feeling.

foods that are known to cause bloating:
I’m going to speak from personal experience but I think a lot of us can relate that when we over indulge in these “comfort” foods, then the more we crave them. and then it’s also easy to be like well I already ate / feel like crap so might as well continue. but that just leaves us feeling worse
