I am Korean, and I will tell you. Koreans are very judgemental, of course not all, but I feel like the whole society takes that kind of behavior as the norm. There is a reason why we have the highest suicidal rate among OECD countries. We care way too much about how we are viewed by others and do the same things to each other.

That is very true. From living here and there I came across to a thought that Koreans cannot accept diversity of human beings and if you are a little different or think different, they criticize you so it is very uncomfortable to dress different or say anything different unless you have the guts.

I think Korean society lacks diversity compared to Western countries. As a result, there is a strong tendency to try to persuade others rather than accept different opinions, and conflicts often arise in interpersonal relationships. As a Korean, I feel this way, but I wonder how people who have lived in other countries feel about it. Nevertheless, it's improving compared to 10 years ago, so I believe that future Korean society will have a more open-minded approach.

There isn't enough "evidence" if we can even call it that to say that most French specifically avoid talking in English with tourists, but it is highly likely imo.

When it comes to public restrooms at least in Seoul, just find a nearby Starbucks and in most cases, you will find a clean restroom. You don't necessarily have to buy a drink. Just don't ask and go do your business directly. There are over 1500 Starbucks in Korea, and if you use Kakao map or Naver map you can quickly locate them within a 100-meter radius in no time. Of course it may be a bit different outside of Seoul.

Korean and Japanese are the most difficult languages to learn English because they are isolates. It is easy to learn English from Chinese because the grammar of the two is similar. However, in Korean and Japanese, you have to think of every word in a sentence backwards and say it. This is completely different from learning English in French or Spanish. Likewise, it is very difficult for English speakers to learn Korean and Japanese. Nevertheless, don't expect that you will be spoken to in English wherever you go.

It was so nice conversing with him, since he showed me photos of his daughter, and then of his son who was with the Japanese defense forces. So at times I would just speak Japanese to him. I don't find ordering a drink to use the facilities inconvenient. I find it to be a courtesy to them for using their facilities. Yes, I would order something if I wanted to use the restroom.

The food is def sweet. Most dishes contain sugar and if the dish is suppose to be salty like certain pastas, they were not salty enough and god jesus lets not talk about latino food 😂😂😂 But legit I will live on Gimbap, Bibimbap, tteobbokki, deopbap and kbbq meat a whole lifetime ❤️ I do agree with the german girl regarding segregation of students. Our universities also didnt make an effort to have foreigners students interact with korean students. When doing activities they always separated us from local students which doesnt make any sense and seemed more like an inconvenience🤔. I actually found koreans very easy going and relaxed, I'm a very impatient person so I didnt experience any pali pali culture (except from one of my friends 😂 but he is just annoying lol). It might be because Im from New York so here people is always running around rushing. Actually, we found people walking in the streets very slow lol(our new york crazy mindset). In overall, we met lovely people, partied and made awesome memories.

I have to differ from what the British girl said about availability of public toilets. When I was in the UK, public toilets have to be paid to access it and there aren't many that you can go to, except for when you are near a MacDonald. So when you have urgent need, it can be quite annoying and stressful. Haven't been to S Korea but I like to think that most Asian countries still have free accessible toilets within reach than say European countries. Another thing is about language. Most homogeneous countries, esp in East Asia like S Korea, Japan or China , people are not conversant in English because that's not their main language taught in schools. It's just one of their subjects but never put into practical usage for lack of a speaking environment. In France, people refuse to speak even if they can because they are proud of being French and also the historical feuds that French and British had through the wars between them. But really, as a visitor of that country, it's unrealistic to expect the average citizen in that country to speak English even though it's an international language. When you visit a country, you are the guest so it's more like the other way round, you've to learn some basics going to that country if you know English is not widely spoken. Otherwise, get a local guide. Having said that, I'd still expect places that cater to international tourists should at least have 1 staff (or booth) that speak English and a few other common languages depending on the profile of tourists that most visited S Korea.

As a Korean, I will make a counterargument. 1.Our staple food is rice. And bread is like a snack to us Do you want a serious taste, snack like meal? Therefore, Koreans eat bread differently purpose from French people. For us, bread is a concept like ice cream or snacks. I think a French woman thinks by her standards. It's easy to understand from the other person's point of view. 2.It's ironic that the British are pointing out the toilet problem. I was shocked by the toilet culture on the London Underground. The first was getting paid, and the second was so messy I wanted to cry. At least in Korea, there are a lot of toilets in the Underground. We offer a very clean toilet for free. Please point out another legitimate problem that Koreans can

I've been living in Korea for 2 years now (in asan) and I've noticed most Koreans don't smile. Like at all. I'll greet them and smile at them and they just give me a blank stare. In the US everyone I greet will smile back and even make small talk. Why is that?

Speaking of Koreans not speaking English, I’ve studied Korean a lot and can get by fine, but the influx of English into the language is annoying AF. I guess it happens in other countries, but in South Korea a borrowed word will take on only one fraction of its original connotation. This also confuses Koreans when they learn English and have to relearn such words.

@@dawnieb.7394 menu (English) means just one item on the menu in Korean. So they’ll say “what’s your favorite menu?” Or “what menu do you want?” (2) Service (English) is said when they give a complimentary piece of fruit, for example, after you buy something, but then a masseuse will ask “service?” at the end of the massage (you know …). (3) “Chicken” only means fried chicken in Korean. They use the Korean word for chicken for boiled or steamed chicken. (4) “Hunting” means looking for a girlfriend. (5) “Fighting!” means “Let’s go!” (6) “Fork” is pronounced “pork.” (7) “Apartment” is just “apart.” (8) “centimeter” is just “centi” .. the list goes on .. now people use “confirm” (the verb) but but it sounds like “conpum” but they clearly have a Korean word for that. Speaking of “pum” … perm (like permed hair, and the verb “sign” is a noun, instead of signature. Anyway. As I taught English in S. Korea, and made many friends, I found they misused these words in English and the obvious culprit was the Konglish. Many Koreans say Konglish establishes itself out of people trying to sound sophisticated and well-traveled, so the process has prestige as its fuel.

I realy don't know what's up with the garlic bread and the patissiers in Korea. They used to be not that sweet! And for the bathroom, it depends on the shops but because they need to clean the bathrooms they usually ask to buy things, but you can find many clean public bathrooms in the subway stations or depatment stores and can use them for free unlike Europe
