Another one is taking and handing things with two hands. I went back to Seattle for a wedding and my friends said I kept doing that. I'm also kind of terrified I might forget and call out to the waiters at restaurants once I'm back home! Haha I love this! I do almost all of these things too.

I've also picked up the long, drawn-out, up-and-down "Aaahhh" Koreans make to express understanding. I did it whe I was at home with my family - they looked at me like I'd lost my mind! I also had an amusing incident where I bowed at the guy at the tyre shop when he gave me back my credit card - he was just like "wtf?!" Good times Korea ^^ (Oh yes, I make smiley faces like that too!) I also do the arm-X for no, the head bow to all and sundry, and the pushing without saying “excuse me”.
