Yes in Korea "thin is in," and you should always look amazing. This includes while hiking up a mountain.. be sure to have the most up to date, fashionable hiking poles, visor and gear. Basically pretend you are always a part of a fashion show know at all times that you are being judged from head to toe. Oh, and if you are not wearing something appropriate (like wearing a t-shirt in the fall when it is "sweater weather" at +25 degrees Celsius) or you are not meeting societies norms (like being a 6"0' tall female) be prepared to be informed of these things daily!
The point of this post is to really show you how different things are compared to North America. Appearance goes beyond your personal appearance and beyond the home. They even make construction sites look pretty. Below are a few photos I took on my walk through my district and neighboring districts here in Seoul.
Note.. If you have any questions or topics you would like me to address just leave a comment and I will be sure to respond! :)
