if you've lived in korea for 3 years you should be able to speak some korean by now(a couple of korean words you mentioned are just wrong) and discuss them with koreans. and everywhere its different(it should be) and they have their own way of living a life. doesnt mean you can't say their problems but instead of 'why? i dont get it' try to interact with the locals. why do all these americans go to korea only to run around with americans if they're unwilling to/incapable of adapting to a differe

@couroxy You're an idiot. I can speak decent Korean. I love Korea. I love it here.

Are u there because u don't have a choice? If you don't like the Country why not pack up and leave?Sounds like you're not enjoying your stay!

[durkeeinkorea]

@dlh127kor Ughhh.. I love it here. Don't I have the right to not understand some things about a culture. Thanks for the comment on the other video.

don't know what to tell you. I only know of one type of soup that smells odd but tastes really good. Forgot the name though.

Are you in Korea for long? I've never been.

[durkeeinkorea]

@ejasonrichmond I've been here for almost four years.

[durkeeinkorea]

@superkoo8 Did you understand what I meant by you only hearing what you want to hear?

[durkeeinkorea]

@superkoo8 Well then, you're either only hearing what you want to hear out of this video... or you just don't understand what I'm saying. Sorry buddy. You're either ignorant or stupid.

1)milk in europe like korean ones smells more strong than north american- i was raised in three continents so i know, and i think diff is that american food is just... more processed.2) hot food and temperature can go wrong anywhere not particular to korea. 3) shiny clothes- it's like asking you why do you grow beard? its just a style difference. 4) Stopping in the hallways is happening everywhere by inconsiderate ppl. Again... not something particular to one culture. 5) Kpop is the new Jpop.

당신의 나라에서 당연한것이 있듯이.. 우리나라에도 당연한것이 있습니다. ^ㅁ^a

한국사람도 외국에 가면 당신과 같이 이해못하는것들이 있답니다. :)

double check your nose, no difference whatsoever

just wanted to note that the randomly stopping surrounded by other people walking isn't unique to Seoul or even Korea, at my college campus in Boston people would do this all the time, it really is annoying

oh my gosh I know what you mean about the shiny suits!!! I see those all the time in korean drama and it's horrible looking.

Im korean, i live in canada and ppl in canada stop in the middle of a hallway too.

i mean such behaviour isn't about the culture, it's about whether that particular individual was considerate or not. LOL
