In Korea, you almost always answer your phone. For example, if you are in a meeting, you answer your phone and explain that you can't talk right now. Even if you are teaching class, you answer your phone. Well, my thinking says its okay not to answer your phone and to call back later when you have time to talk--especially when its a number you don't know.
So, today, my phone rang during Korean class from a number not in my phonebook, and I didn't answer it. I figured I would call back after Korean class. Yep, well, I ignored a phone call from a really important person for work! Opps!!! So new plan, start thinking like a Korean and answer EVERY phone call.
