One of the small incidents of culture I appreciate is the way Koreans give, or receive, something. If I give something to a student they present both hands in a manner that resembles receiving Communion in church. They almost never take something, they always present two hands in a receiving manner. Shop keepers do the same when handling cash. When giving money back they hold the money in one hand, and present the arm with the other hand.
Traditionally one never pours their own drink. You should hold your cup with two hands when your drink is poured. Here are two pictures I found on the internet that show a little of this.
