5/17 Talk about how Koreans sit on the floor while having meals.

Unlike eating at tables with chairs in the West, Koreans often sit cross-legged on the floor when they eat.
* sit cross-legged on the floor: 바닥에 양반다리를 하고 있다.
ex> All of the children sit cross-legged on the rug for story time.
ex> I hate to sit cross-legged in restaurants because my feet fall asleep.

More restaurants are giving customers the choice of floor seating or Western-style seating.
* floor seating: 좌식 좌석
ex> You have the choice of eating the blueberry one or the strawberry one.

There's also some that offer the best of both worlds.

Women wearing skirts may struggle a bit due to the possibility of flashing other diners.
* flash someone: 창피한 곳을 보여 주다.
ex> There are some odd men who go around flashing people in public.

However, an apron or large napkin draped over their laps can fix the problem.
* drape over: ~위에 드리우다.
* lap: the flat area between the waist and knees of a seated person
ex> Come and sit on my lap.

Foreigners who are new to the concept of sitting Indian-style while eating may find it uncomfortable.
* sit Indian-style: 양반다리로 앉다.
ex> You may be new to the concept of separating food waste in Korea.
