  • Hi!
    Thank you for watching this video... I hope you enjoyed it! I worked on this for quite some time whilst having to deal with all the inevitable complications of moving to a whole new continent, so apologies for the delay in video uploads. Please look forward to more videos in the future!
    Love,

      From a perspective of korean, the reason why people didn't sat next to you might be the fear of speaking english. Most of koreans have a lack of confidence when it comes to speaking english, so they might have been trying to avoid any chance having conversation with 외국인.

    To be honest, I'm a little worried about moving to South Korea. Don't get me wrong, I'm also frickin excited! But I've heard that there are a lot of toxic beauty standards that find a way to get to you no matter how independent and confident you are. Not that this is the biggest issue, but for younger people like me(I'll be 18 in a year), it makes me fear how my experience will be affected if I let conformity take over.

Koreans are a lot more thoughtful and caring than we are used to and it may seem strange, even intrusive, in the beginning. But try to learn THEIR ways. Korea has 5000 years of history and they do things with reasons that worked for them for that long. Korea is an amazing place to live! Enjoy!!
