(Click on the tips to see them a bit larger and more clearly)
My personal favourites are:
2. People are usually kind, but sometimes not to Africans and South-east Asians.
10. Schedules and plans are often subject to change. (This is perhaps the understatement of the year)
11. You may be insisted to drink alcohol beyond your capacity.
31. When you drink alcohol with seniors or elder persons, you'd better turn your head around.
32. There are rarely polite "excuse me's" when people bump into you on the street. (Very true. We get bumped into a lot and maybe once or twice someone has acknowledged it)
33. Koreans sometimes say yes when they are confused in speaking English. (I suspect the root of some of our problems).

Do you actually know what "When you drink alcohol with seniors or elder persons, you'd better turn your head around." means? All the others I can figure out what they're trying to say -- this one I have no clue though.
I believe you are supposed to kind of turn your head away from them so they can't actually see you drinking.
It does make much sense, but then neither do a lot of our customs.
Many much thanks your for culture tippies. You better turn your head when I drink too!
