I have lived in South Korea for 3 months, and I want to come back every day. Every day is a torment, and there is no satisfactory place to eat, drink, or poop! The suffering of eating

I am a foodie, and I want to taste delicious food wherever I go, but when I live with Koreans, it is really difficult for me to accept the food. Other few positive feelings after suffering

During these three months of living in South Korea, my true feelings were not very good. I felt uncomfortable in every aspect of my life, and there was no sense of freshness in a foreign country at all. , only all kinds of unacceptable.

Generally speaking, South Korea is not a suitable place for long-term living. Not only is it inconvenient, but the quality of life is really not as good as ours. One is in the sky and the other is on the ground. There is no comparison...

p>

South Korean and North Korean women refer to South Korean men being handsome and North Korean women being beautiful. Everywhere I look, people are the same, some are ugly and some are handsome.

The streets in Korea are not too wide, and the communities are not too big, but they are relatively clean. Their clothes are ordinary, and there are quite a few simple people. Younger women in life wear a little more makeup than we do. They also often eat pork, and more often fish. It’s not like we say in China that they can’t afford meat. Because they have less land and more people, the prices of agricultural and sideline products are high.

There are very few fakes in Korean stores. Older people are quite enthusiastic. When visiting their homes, they will prepare delicious treats. This is the vanity of young people. Be strong and compare with each other. Our country is like this now.

There are many roadside stalls in South Korea, and there are no urban management personnel. They will also drink until late. Their spare time life is rich and they play very freely. Most people can dance. North Korea is a nation that is good at singing and dancing. The most stupid people are us Han people, we have no musical ability.

In the evening they often have small outdoor concert performances. The spotlight shines on the actor singing in the middle. The audience sat around, eating snacks and watching the performance.

Before marriage, Korean men treat women very well. After marriage, almost all housework is done by women. Koreans think this is normal. I have seen a Korean woman take care of two children at home, the older one is two and a half years old and the younger one is eight months old. When my husband comes home from get off work, he keeps complaining that she didn't cook the food well, didn't clean the bathroom cleanly, etc., so he doesn't know how to reach out and help his wife.

My Chinese relatives who have lived in South Korea for more than thirty years have also subconsciously accepted this quality of Koreans. Every time she went to her son's house, whenever she saw a mop or electric sweeper, she would throw them out in front of her daughter-in-law. She asked her daughter-in-law to squat down and wipe the floor with a rag, saying that she could wipe it clean that way.

Girls who want to marry Korean oppas, wake up, unless your family has a mine, life will be difficult.

Everything is good. The only thing is that it is too difficult to find a place to smoke outdoors. I am a big smoker.

If you go to work, there will be no shady boss relying on your wages. Housing prices are at the second-tier level in China. The absolute value of prices is higher than that in China. The relative value of prices is lower than that in China. It is absolutely rumored that they cannot afford beef, except in Korea. Beef imported from other countries such as Australia and New Zealand is not expensive. It is guaranteed to be less stressful than buying beef at home, and people’s incomes are also higher.

The social order is very good. It is difficult to hear the horn. There is no thick glass to separate you from the bank window. There is no one in the society who accepts red envelopes. They don’t understand what red envelopes are. They have a good sense of service. For shopping, medical treatment, errands, etc., it has a good attitude and high efficiency. When there is no leisure time, there are many small parking lots, parking pressure is less than in China, and there are few roadside parking lots. There are not many tickets for tourist attractions, and they are cheap. Generally, you don’t bargain when buying things in Korea. However, you can politely ask if you can get a discount, which is limited to one time. It is rude to say more. In fact, there is not much room for discounts. All are actively discounted.

Koreans are hardworking and capable, and they are not lazy at work. Most people still look for work after retirement, even if they are rich. The taxi drivers are all retired old men.

Also, Korean men are pretty good-looking. They rarely have general bellies. Their bodies are straight and feminine, and they have big faces.

Koreans dress simply and plainly. I have never seen any fancy clothes, but they are very tidy. Women dress modestly and conservatively, with very little exposure. Except for certain places, they rarely dry their hair.

South Korea’s urban construction facilities are average in terms of hardware, similar to the second-tier domestic facilities. There are not many high-rise buildings and the roads are not wide, but they have fast traffic speeds and good order. Their soft environment is their advantage. Domestic efforts still need to be improved.

I kept saying something here and there, saying whatever I thought of, and it was a bit messy.

Cultural differences are inevitable. Koreans are polite and obey various rules, such as traffic rules, queuing, taking care of public facilities, not making loud noises in public places, etc. The streets in Korea are very clean and garbage is well sorted. South Korea is a country that is small but has all the internal organs and makes life convenient. Koreans feel very high when they play, while Chinese people tend to appear dull in such situations. Food and drink in South Korea are relatively expensive, so it’s okay to live while working. If you don’t work, life will be very stressful. Korea is suitable for young people. There are many elderly people in South Korea who are still working hard. Picking up waste cardboard boxes and so on. South Korea is capitalist, and only when you work can you get income. Value personal abilities, not relationships.

I went to South Korea for the first time in the 1990s. After returning home, I quickly did two things - (1) Find a restaurant and have a quick meal of meat (2)

Arrive The hospital gave me an operation on my butthole, and eating that unlucky kimchi made my hemorrhoids worse. It was really not worth the gain

I can’t afford kimchi

During my three-year school career in Korea, how much did it cost? Some thoughts

First time here:

Korea is so small!

This small country is not just a small country. Their residential buildings, squares, shopping malls, and even house structures, streets, and facilities all give people a compact feeling. So even though the house is not small, it looks a bit awkward.

There is a black market for exchanging money!

In Myeongdong, Seoul, near Dongdaemun, there are many foreign currency exchange windows, which are the so-called "black markets". These windows do not look formal, and some are even difficult to find. People who are unfamiliar with them have no idea where they are. I didn’t study their origins, I just remembered that they could exchange foreign currency for more Korean won. Just like bargaining, compare shopping and exchange for the one who exchanges more.

Rentals for the elderly!

In South Korea, we often meet "Azaosi" who drive taxis. Most of them are people who have retired for many years, and some of them are over 60 years old when they read the job ID introduction! It is a strange thing to still be out on the rental front line. Some Korean friends also explained that this is also related to South Korea's heavy "poll tax". The young and middle-aged people are under great pressure, forcing the older generation to go out again...

The roads in the city are very fast!

If I remember correctly, the speed limit on urban roads in Korean cities is 60-80. When a bus passes by you, you feel like you are being carried away...

Cosmetics stores are everywhere yes!

Needless to say, everyone who has been there knows it.

Two years later:

A Christian country!

Maybe you don’t believe it, but more than 90% of people in South Korea believe in Christ! There are many Christian schools

Team building activities (MT) are like playing house!

School clubs or departments hold team-building games, and the games they play are really childlike, haha! Passing onion rings, fighting for seats... it's a bit embarrassing to watch from the side

Don't eat mutton!

This is not the case only in Korea, but if you want to eat mutton soup and mutton skewers in Korea, you need to go to a place with a lot of Chinese people. In the north, I recommend going to Anseong. You can smell the familiar smell as soon as you get off the subway! In addition, Korean noodles are often called Chinese cuisine in Korea. Apart from it, other Chinese food are extremely expensive

The tips for working are more than the wages!

South Korea is a country that likes to tip. The school also has a dedicated department to recommend places for students to find part-time jobs.

If you are in the service industry, especially in restaurants, remember to tip

Ask new people their age first!

This is their "tradition"... In order to decide what style of language to use when speaking to the other party... even good buddies are no exception!

"Adult culture" can be found everywhere!

In some areas of South Korea, "adult services" are allowed. And in any hotel or hotel, there will be a 24-hour "adult channel". And if it is discovered that you are checking in as a couple or a couple when checking in at the hotel, you will be given an extra adult supplies package. I won’t go into details.

Fried chicken and beer are not a specialty!

Food is a specialty. In Korea, fried chicken, beer and barbecue are not considered a specialty. For example, hangover soup (spicy pork rib soup), fish cake soup (packed carriage), miso soup, ginseng chicken soup, cold noodles, stone pot bibimbap, stone pot seafood tofu soup, Chuncheon sizzling chicken, etc. are local delicacies. But to be honest, there are very few varieties compared to China...

Domestic beef is more expensive than imported beef!

Not only is it expensive, it’s also ridiculously expensive

Hot pot is a set meal, and barbecue is a buffet!

Most hot pots are "Sharp Sharp" or "Military Hot Pot", which are all in the form of fixed set meals. There are many self-service barbecue restaurants, which cost about more than 10,000 won (about 70 yuan at the time) per person. Except for wine, everything else is optional. I don’t know what happened now, but at that time, self-service barbecue restaurants were afraid of meeting students from other countries besides Korea and Japan hahaha

Watermelons have more repeatability than LV bags!

If you are carrying a LV bag on the street, no one may look at you. But if you have to carry one or even two whole watermelons, it will definitely turn heads.

I love donuts for dessert!

I don’t know why. But there are as many donut shops everywhere as there are bakeries everywhere in the country

I like to drink and drink!

I won’t talk about their own wine. They like to treat guests to drinks, and it feels so good to have a drink! Courtesy reciprocates, the second time I brought two bottles of Niu Er and then...

The above are just some of my personal experiences. In fact, there are many more, but the introduction is really incomplete. If you are interested, you can experience it for yourself!

I feel that Korean men are basically trash. How come they can’t even cook, and they think this is an advantage. Go and see the Korean army. They are all brats. Once a war breaks out, half of these soldiers will probably run away and the other half will surrender. Korean women also have their own characteristics. Nowadays, it is popular not to get married (it is also helpless because they have no money to get married). Those who are married cook at home and take care of the children. After finishing housework, they go out to coffee shops during the day and chat in groups for several hours. , some go shopping, squandering the little wages that their husbands have earned through hard work. Once a man is fired and loses his job, his nose will immediately change and his face will change. Many Korean women immediately file for divorce after their husbands go bankrupt.

I live in South Korea for half a year every year. Some of what you said is true and some is untrue. It’s half and half. Prices are indeed more expensive than in China, but prices and wages are symmetrical. If you work and live in South Korea, you will I don’t really feel that prices are high. I feel that prices are high because I don’t work. Calculated on a yearly basis, the living expenses for two people are at least 100,000 yuan, and this is ordinary living expenses. Besides, the consumption in different parts of Korea is different, and Seoul has the highest cost.

Not a human feeling
