Korea always goes by the honor code. Everywhere there are honor code plaques suggesting to the general public things that most Americans wouldnt do. For instance, this sign which I found in Seoul on the subway. There are certain seats reserved for handicapped, pregnant, injured and new mothers. I know many places are handicapped accessible in the United States but alot of times there is alot of disrespect for these sort of things. People park in the handicapped spots at the mall because "Hey, handicapped people dont come to the mall that often." The general rule in Korea is dont sit in a seat unless you have too. I often see people standing on the bus to work while several seats are open.
