Making Phone Calls in South Korea
Making Phone Calls in South Korea
The first time I visited South Korea, my wife and I stopped just outside the baggage claim area to make a phone call to her folks' house to let them know that we had arrived safely. When she was finished making the call, she set the phone receiver down on the small tray underneath the pay phone instead of hanging up.
I asked her why she did this and she said that there was still time left for another phone call. If someone else came along and saw the receiver in the not-hung-up position, they would be able to make a quick call. Everyone takes care of everyone else.
