awesome video...now that im divorced im really into other cultures..(mainly asian)...i would love to do something like this,but getting older now(38) and guess its just to late for me to consider teaching...maybe 10 yrs ago

why do people keep putting up self made commericals (they should change the title cuz it seems like you will see their teaching and I see very little teaching on these videos (well, examples is what I thought i'd see- activities)

Korea seems better with the sound cut out. You don't hear their non-stop screaming.

"Super friendly people" LOL.

Make sure you read the facts before you decide to teach in Korea. I taught there for three years and while I had a good time, I wish I had did more research before signing the first contract I signed. Korea is a great time but only for those who are very careful and picky when choosing where to work!

@jisaw80 the same cashier told him that they don't sell foreign secrets in Korean, but this guy has no clue. unfortunately you can't make all koreans speak english so forget that. learn basic words. the guy i mentioned taught english here for 5 years and he can't get a pack of cigarrete unless the cashier speaks English. pitiful he can't even order food at night.

in order to learn the cultures and their behaviors, you must understand the whole status quo of its history. alot of asian countries like china korea japan try to hide their true behavior, and koreans usually fail. to be honest, foreigners who live in korea should learn korean. not as a respect, but for your own convenience. never do such a stupid thing like my ex american co worker going to the same store asking for Marlboro Red.

normal - if you look closely I am not stating one country is worse than the other. I think we think along the same lines and we are misunderstanding each other. I am simply stating from my personal observations, which is obviously not empirical, that Koreans have been very discriminatory and racists, though it is often harmless in nature, unlike racism I have seen in the West.

I feel sad that after all that studying you have come up with a "this country is worse than that country". I can't stand up for other Koreans but I do respect Japanese and Americans at the same time I don't deny the racism that exists in Korea blindly simply because it's my nationality. Put a normal Korean in either American or Japanese workplace and hear what they say to ya, it's freakin disgusting. It's not the intensity of racism that's the matter here, it's the fact that it exists.

Actually not at all. I've studied these things quite a bit. I will not deny that the Japanese have, and do, think they are superior to other Asians. That said, in my experience Koreans have been some of the most discriminatory people I have come across, with ultra-nationalism blinding them. I cannot speak for other Americans, but I have always given Koreans respect. These are just honest observations.
