While staying for years in Seoul, South Korea, there are few social etiquettes that are ingrained in people's mannerism. Here, I would like to share about social discipline that helps people be organized and above all cultured & civilized. So what is that social discipline? This is "queue" or simply "line up". I googled to get its definition. Here it is, " Queue is a line or sequence of people or sequence of people or vehicles awaiting their turn to be attended to or to proceed." Synonyms are many - line, row, column, file, chain, string. For many, this may not sound important or may seems a usual. However, I take it as reflection to social norms but have not recognized its long term implication or social value that it portrays.
