With the number of days of my Korea stay extending, my admiration and respect for Koreans is also shooting up exponentially. It has not developed suddenly but if you see their humbleness, generosity and mutual respect in every day to day interaction, you will be inclined to wish if it was part of our culture. Latest incident was my tryst with a Korean sales girl in a super market called HomePlus. I was looking for Dove shampoo and could not find any 100/200ml pack. All were big family packs. The 100ml versions were offered free with some other cosmetic stuff. I asked for the small pack of Dove / Head and Shoulder. The sales girl said Aanyo (No) and suggested me some other brand. Like many things don’t want to experiment with shampoo, so was about to leave without any purchase. The moment I was about to leave the Shampoo section, the sales girl came running to me and handed me a 100ml Head and Shoulder shampoo as a Service/Complimentary ( I don’t know what she said).I asked her how much and she said it was free. I asked her again but the answer was same. She gave it for free. Dhanya hai Korea ki dharti!!!
