Korean Table Manners

So I thought it might be interesting to share significant differences between American table manners and Korean table manners. Before I go into the table manners, maybe a little general Koren etiquette is necessary.
Rule #1: Once you enter someone's house your shoes need to come off in the entryway. It's generally a very obvious thing since are there are many many shoes just sitting there. There's a little raised step for when you actually leave the entryway and enter to house. Your shoes need to come off before you step up into the house.
And I think that's basically all you need to know for background on table manners.

Traditionally, meals are eaten on a low table where everyone sits on the floor or on a small cushion. So that's why your shoes should already be off. Some restaurants have traditional-style seating so they have the same set-up as the house where there's a entryway for you to take off your shoes, and a raised floor to indicate the break between shoes-on and shoes-off zone.
The floors are all heated so it's actually really comfortable. It's not like you're sitting on a cold floor.

There are a few distinctly different table manners from what our parents teach us in America as "proper".

Korea:  Talking with your mouth full - OK
             Smacking your lips while chewing - OK
             Slurping your soup/noodles - OK
             Belching - OK (but this just might be a male-only thing)
             Having the TV on while eating - OK (I actually have yet to eat a meal here where there           wasn't a TV on in the home or restaurant.)

             Stabbing your chopsticks into your rice - Not OK (this is how they present rice to a deceased person at death anniversaries)
             Pointing your chopsticks at someone - Not OK

Those are the big differences that I can think of off the top of my head. There's a whole other set of rules when drinking alcohol, which I was only briefly taught. I'll write what I know of that.

Korean Etiquette Rules for Drinking Alcohol:
#1. If someone is pouring you a glass alcohol, and they're older than you or in a higher social position - hold your glass with both hands, or support your extended right arm (glass in hand) with your left hand either behind your elbow or in front of your elbow (no one has explained to me the significance of the left hand placement).
#2. If drinking in the company of those older than you or in a higher social position (aka your boss) - turn away from them when you drink (this rule only applies to alcohol)
#3. If someone pours a glass of alcohol for you - you should pour a glass for them in turn
#3-1. If pouring alcohol for someone older than you or in a higher social position - pour the bottle with both hands, or with your left hand supporting your right arm either behind or in front of the elbow (once again the significance of the left hand's placement is lost on me)

I'll finish this post up with a couple pictures from a traditional-style restaurant we went to in Asan (아산) which is another little city next to Cheonan (천안) where I'm currently staying.

 This is a traditional Korean house that has been converted into a restaurant. The restaurant was divided into two spaces: Western (aka tables and chairs) and traditional (low tables and floor seating).

We sat in the traditional section as pictured here.
