Just as Europe is not one country, Asia is also countries with completely different cultures. In Korea, people do not greet each other by spreading their hands out in front and putting them together. The greeting in the video is a Korean greeting.

Just yesterday I awarded a life time achievement award to my Korean colleague. His wife bowed very low many times through out the evening. I had bought her flowers, because she too was part of her husbands success. She took me a side several times, thanking me, and continued deep bows. I'm American and served in Korea years ago but had never had this happen to me until later in life. I felt deeply honored. The bow was at least 45 degrees, slow down and slow up. I simply bowed back about 15 degrees and didn't know how to respond but knew I should bow too.. I must have done something right I made a new friend it seemed.

Thank you for enjoying my video! Generally, when expressing politeness or respect, there is a way by bowing more deeply and more slowly your neck (or sometimes your waist). But as in America, gifts, daily greetings, and small talk are also nice ways I think, because these things are not common to Koreans.

I'm Korean. The greeting that we hold together is mainly from Buddhist countries such as Thailand. Of course, Koreans also have Buddhists, but Korea is not a religious country. Koreans rarely greet each other with their hands together unless they believe in the same Buddhism. No religion reigns over nationalism because Koreans are a nationalist country. And these days, the number of religious people in Korea is decreasing. And Koreans often shake hands.

안녕하세요 선생님 (Annyeonghaseyo seonsaengnim), or 좋은 아침이에요 선생님 (Joeun achimiyeyo seonsaengnim) You can 'Annyeonghaseyo' anytime, and 'good morning' is closer to 'Joeun achim-ieyo' or 'Joeun achim-ipnida'. 선생 means a teacher, it can be written in English 'seonsaeng', but the pronunciation is similar with 'sunseng'. When you talk to other people you don't know or older than you, it's good to add 'nim' at the end.
