Mmm. For me I can't speak for other black people but basically because seeing someone in your ethnicity in a country where there is hardly any one of your ethnicity makes u feel a little better.  kinda like you said you would talk to other Czech people because of common language. it's just seeing another person that you have something in comon with. of course i would talk to other people who are nice to me as well, its just nice to see someone of a similar background.

Hi shaki57,

I come from the Czech Republic. So the race is not really an issue here since everybody is white. I was just wondering. You are saying "It's good to see another balck teacher in Korea". Is it that you guys stick together because of your ethnicity? I mean I can imagine myself hanging out with other Czech peole if I were abroad, since we have a common language.

They actually allow you niggers in Korea? I though they would keep their children away from you feral beasts.

When I was in the southern part of the country, I felt like the only black person. I was ok with this, I am used to all people. My friends I was visiting is Korean, and I stayed with her family... who didnt speak english! In seoul there was lots of people from everywhere. I noticed Africans, Russians, and Philipinos. Very diverse. I love this country, and after staying a month, I want to go back to teach.

This is a great vid. I am latino and and majored as an English teacher and have worked in the publishing industry for several years but have found that I have lost my passion for this profession and am at a point where I wish to make a difference in either an adult's or child's life. This video has defintely inspired me to take that chance.

Thank you so much for posting this video. It really helped me as an African-American male trying to go teach in South Korea.

for ruzzaruzza and shaki57 it is called cultural shock and you will experence it in countries that do not have much of black people, whites or even asian until when you see someone from your race or even country whether they are black or white you feel good cause you shared alot, but it is still good to meet different race so maybe you would not feel that way again.
