Life in rural South Korea - Hupo, Uljin (Part 2of2)

(Part 2) A real life account of the struggles of living in a rural town in South Korea, and teaching English as part of the EPIK programme (working at a public school.) I have had 1 year of this. You lucky people will only have 14 minutes. Enjoy...

what a lovely place you live in... unfortunately not for you though. i bet the village is full of warm hearted people.

anyways... you could've told the korean teacher how to pronounce "teeth" properly instead of making fun of her on youtube.

I know how challenging Korea can be, but I gotta say you guys come off as sucking way more than Hupo.

@youbustubus Yeah... maybe they should have taught in rural China first... my friend lived there for three years, she didn't even have hot water for a shower. It really gets to me the amount of people that complain once they get to Korea... but then again before I ended up going to the University of Michigan, I grew up in rural area of Michigan. There's something to be said about the kind of people that live in rural areas... they tend to be nicer than your average person.

BTW, have you guys been eating out and having japchae, bulgogi, bibimbap, korean pancakes, or naengmyeon? For the love of god at least tell me you've tried some good Korean food :D

[caribearkiss]

@ibirogbap Well... some of us actually care how Koreans view us and there are those of us that would love to be in their shoes right now. I'm trying to finish my Bachelor's so my fiance and I can go... and these two are totally ungrateful, what a great opportunity for someone that would have appreciated it. But again, if this is "rural" Korea, I am not worried too much where we are placed when we go :D

I can't wait to eat Korean food everyday... nom nom nom :D

hii. honestly, did you not enjoy your time there? i'm only asking because i want to go to south korea to teach english also and i'd like some insiders' perspective (the good and bad). if i'm going to spend a year there, then i'd like to have some insight to the lifestyle.

thanks!! (and... that washing machine ending was G-O-L-D. ahahah)

Seriously people, lighten the hell up. This video was clearly meant for entertainment purposes. Quite frankly, I found it hilarious. In case you didn't realize, they're acting. You guys with these negative comments need to take the sticks out of your asses.

@captainpegs07 i agree

[captainpegs07]

Pair of fuck-ups in any country they'd be in.

This is why they say there are too many unqualified English teachers in Korea & at the same time you are doing a hugh disservice to other dedicated, hard-working English teachers in Korea.

this clown does not deserve to be a teacher. a quiet rural place there is one of the nicest assignments too that want to take in the culture. if you don't like korean food, fish, culture etc then korea is not a place you should go because it's not a right fit.. this redneck is an idiot.
