Wow these are such narcissistic questions.

"In korea we are sooo generous, we pay for other peoples meals"

"Do they do that in Japan?"

Give me a break.

Why is this poor girl in Korea anyways?

She is trying to broaden her horizons only to encounter snobbish judgmental losers.

@SuperSupermang that my friend is a common trait of communism fuck it

Japanese people have been weened off of their nationalist pride and actually have a sense of irony, while Koreans are still struggling to get past this point. I'd give them a good 100 more years before they come around seeing how things are in Korea right now. Japan changed violently after the war (morally and economically) while South Korea only drastically changed economically.

I fucked this little korean girl who barely spoke any english in a restroom at the welfare office here in Los Angeles.

@SuperSupermang - I am Korean and I challenged my mother on this same ridiculous myth. I won my case by awaking alive to a humming fan that was operating all night. Her response, a slap upside my head for trying to be too much of a wise-ass. Urban myths, superstitions and religions as far as I'm concerned are indoctrinations starting at youth. That is why they are still believed today.

LOL..what is the point of this assignment? To find out what foreigners think of Korea, then brainwash them? I'm not Japanese or Korean, but I know that Japanese are not as easily persuaded as Koreans. In Korea, they still believe that you can die from leaving a FAN ON AT NIGHT. Teachers even tell the kids this. Nobody questions ANYTHING there when they are told by society. I would love to meet a Korean who didn't believe in "fan death", and reached that conclusion by his/her own logic.

good idea for a Video.

BUT the Audio is low & you can't really hear it.
