Korean Hand Gestures

This is just a simple video to explain how you should handle your, err, hands, when giving and receiving in Korea. We don't have anything like this in North America, and we've been corrected on this a few times. Watch and learn.

@anthcybo

your supporting your arm in carrying the object you're giving and recieving.you actually care about the transaction instead of being lazy only using 1 hand. I mean imagine you recieve a gift and they just stick it out with one hand and wait for you to grab instead of handing it to you, it sort reminds you of how a bratty kid would hand smthin. Basically you want both hands doing something if you only use half your body its 1/2 as poilte, your not giving them full attention

I never see korean girls supporting their elbow, it's always the 2 hand thing. I'm in Canada and even I accept things with 2 hands
