Don't get upset when the old and young all push you. They shove here and it is not a problem at all. its part of the custom. No one gets upset by it. You'll be shoved, bumped and cut off, all the above. With that said don't hesitate to push your way through too. I think it's hard at first because we just don't do that sorta thing. You get bumped around when its really crowded, but not just pushed and ran down. But you gotta do it cause they be all up in the way and never walk straight. I still say sorry, sorry, sorry cause sometimes you can't help but bump and push, they don't even look twice or once for that matter. And then I think, hmmm when am I gonna stop that? Because it never even gets acknowledged. When you push them its the same as the wind blowing....nothing unusual, not even noticeable most of the time.
One time I was about to miss my bus back to Jinju and this older lady was standing in the doorway. I think she was trying to figure out which gate her bus was at but I sure shoved her right out my path...No way I was getting stuck in a city I didn't know or have friends in. She didn't care, didn't even look my way, just moved over. LOL this lady I work with said when she went to the US someone totally went off on her cause she bumped/pushed with no excuse me. She said "I was so embarrassed, I didn't know it was so different". And this is a really nice lady so go ahead heave your way through. I've seen ppl brush other ppl's kids out the way too and was the only one who even noticed.
