Culture and Etiquette
In Korea, giving gifts is the most important culture in that country than in Saudi Arabia. If you are the one accepting the gift, refuse a couple of times, before agreeing to have it, and if you don’t agree to take the gift, they will be very insulted, but in Saudi Arabia gifts are not opened when received. In Korea, never give expensive gifts; they will give you a gift about the same amount of money you spend on the gift you gave them sush as scissors and knives, a gift wrapped in red, or red writing on the gift, but in Saudi Arabia never give alcohol unless you are positive they partake. Also in Korea, They prefer bright colored wrapping paper on the gift, but in Saudi Arabia Flowers do not make good gifts from a man, although a woman could give them to her hostess.

Why do you think that gift giving is so important in Korea? It is not as important here in Canada as in other cultures. Asian cultures seem to be the main culture to feel compelled to give gifts.
