  • @saranghaeyo2326 It's not really significant that he's an "american", is it? He is trying to be polite, but doesn't understand the customs. That hardly even makes him an idiot does it? Have you ever dined in a strange culture, not knowing all the subtleties and protocol? Do you suppose your mistakes made you an "idiot"?

  • HAHAHA the part where he strew the soysauce all over the dish wasn't in the book. that one made my jaw drop hahaha. what an american idiot -_- hehe jk. btw i think the woman who played Lindo Jong is a fabulous actress! Does anyone else agree?? :) She was great :)

    He IS an idiot! Even in mainstream WASP culture, his faux pas (as we see here) are atrocious and would never be excused!! Imagine acting that way at ANYBODY'S home as a dinner guest ...I mean, think about it!!!

  • @ogicabp4u The Korean solution was to throw money at them thinking that's what they wanted (ie. narrow minded 'Gwanju's') but it was really about parents and the Taliban Govt exercising its own rights to bring up it's own offspring how it sees fit. Although I would not condone what either nation did in this episode I can fully understand why it happened. Many Koreans are very naive travelers because SK is still very mono-cultural and have a protected and sheltered economy.

  • @ACTORoWRITER the 'Taliban episode' is an classic example of 'Korean hermititis'. Koreans who have never been outside of Korea and who eat,drink , sleep Korean culture. Not that there's anything wrong with that BUT when you go to another country u must be prepared to accept they have differing senses and sensibilities. They tried to (maybe unwittingly maybe not) indoctrinate Taliban children with Xtianity which would eventually lead to them rejecting their parents.

  • @ACTORoWRITER cool. yeah, peace bro. There are so many people on YT who think I'm racist and who are probably self proclaimed 'multi-culturalists' when in reality they only know about their own culture and are patronizing to other cultures...especially toward Muslims in the UK. Of course anyone resents being patronised but they wont speak up about it because the MC's are 'there to help'. Uhgg! You have to understand a culture by knowing its sensitivities and sensibilities and work from there.

  • @ogicabp4u

    Yeah good point. Some peoples views are just narrow. It's good to meet people such as yourself who are familiar with other cultures. (^_^)

  • @ACTORoWRITER Yup , I hate it how some people say 'All Koreans are racist' or 'All Muslims are potential Suicide bombers' because its simply untrue. When minorities within certain groups of people have extreme views to certain things and react in an extreme way they simply have traits which are determined by their culture which identify them as 2 where they are from not what they do or are potentially likely to do. It's about IDing select persons within any group NOT blaming cultures/rascism.

  • @ogicabp4u

    Yeah I agree, I have met a few Korean Buddhist, lol the Christian, ones kinda were suspicious of me, probably cause at the time the Korean-christian group went to Afghanistan and was kidnapped by the Taliban.

    I've heard that they are really heavy when trying to argue religion with other Koreans.

  • @ogicabp4u PS Buddist Koreans are really cool...really easy going and friendly...even though I'm no t religious myself I can relate a lot to these Koreans and they really help me to understand went Koreans went through which helps explain SOME of the cultural differences etc...

  • @ACTORoWRITER Yup the military love them. The really older Koreans who remember the war love them too. Also the younger generation are far more amenable to foreigners and don't buy into all the nationalistic education they have been given by the Government. They are much more 'traveled'. It's SOME of the Koreans in the generation in-between these two that SOMETIMES have a very different view. (Read 30 to 60 something). They are what I call 'Gwanju' Koreans.

  • I do like Korean culture, and Japanese culture, they have a good movie market. 100% Surprised about the way South Korean view America... As I trained a lot of US Marines for combat training simulations before they deployed to Afghanistan.

    A few were at the DMZ, and they said the South Korean government loved them... Really surprised the people feel otherwise.
