It’s not something to blame, but to understand and appreciate as a distinct feature of your culture. If you were living in Spain you would think we are lazy and superficial, something that is bad but I accept as part of our culture. Not everyone is going to be like that, but there a huge bunch of people in Spain living in a bubble, only thinking about soccer and drinking with friends. That’s the image the foreigners that visit my country use to store in their minds.

I really appreciate your comment and the effort you put in it. Thank you so much.

See you soon!

I don’t know whether there are especially lots of young people in comparison with other countries.
In the downtown of seoul you often visit and know well, Of course, every person there can experience a flood of “young”

Yeap. Obviously and actually we drank yesterday, are drinking right now, and will drink a lot tomorrow not enough to die. It could be a sort of the korean culture.
By the way tracing back in my memory, in such a competition, the world champion title is belong to Russia!
As you know, I don’t like much soju because of its hangover.

Frankly I don’t like it so far.(If she knew this, I would be about to die…) Well, I think that a habitual dating is unworthy in a sense. Just going out together, ordering coffee, seeing a movie and having dinner in certain restaurant. These activities in a row can’t stimulate the realationship any more if she and he have gotten enough close. You’re right David, in korea there are many couples who do date as a routine, and I’m one of them. But I intend to do something different and inspiring the relationship.

In addition, there must be only gorgeous guys around you. Don’t be surprised, David. Even though I’m so cute, but I hadn’t have a girlfriend for 24 years before I met ma boo.
I have no any hesitation in saying that the fact every korean boy has his own girlfriend is impossible. Because in korea, in fact, the male population is larger than female’s.

5. I have never worn a same cloth with someone, except for my football team uniform.

It is absolutely abnormal for boys to be holding hands. But it is common for girls to be holding hands, unless they are homosexualist. I don’t like to see such a view in a sense. Because it is a waste of hands-economy, only if they are beautiful.

7.
Some people want to be on the top of the high-tech, and the others don’t. I am the latter. As a computer engineer are you a “early-adopter”?

Indeed, koreans spend the time with their gadgets
on their ways to work or home. When a foriegner gets on subway, he can see various typical scenes of korea.

8.9.
Do (some) koreans eat dogs? Yes.
Do koreans eat dogs from street vendors?
no, yet. And it will be never happend.

And David, I will take you there.
“Whatever you imagine, you will see beyond that.”

“Karaoke” comes from Japanese. Right?
In korea, another genuine word is existing to call it. That is “No-Rae-Bang”. It means singing room. A noun (song:norae) a noun (room:bang).
I don’t know what does karaoke mean, cause I don’t know Japanese. Please use the word, No-rae-bang instead of karaoke, although you aren’t not familiar with the new word. Whenever you use the correct korean expression, surely, you can let the polite koreans be more polite.

11.
I can’t understand exactly what you say.

12.
Yeap. It seems to be true.
They, dressed in the T-shirts with English sentences, might regard them as not scripts, but a design. Yes, so do I. Yes, almost of them don’t care about what is written on it. But if the sentences include such a followed expression I’ve seen, it must become a serious problem. “mother-fucker”. Carrying “motherfucker” on the chest or back, walking along the street is a pity for them, if they don’t know what it means.

13.
I’m very curious about why you write the end of the sentence in italic type, David.
Do I have too keen observation?

14.
Number by Number, gradually I’m getting more curious about who are the koreans around you.

15.
Yes, they do. They really spend much money on cosmetic. But who on earth are the koreans that spend half their wage on shoes?

16.
Yes, they do. They really spend much money for their piances. But who on earth are the koreans that spend half their wage on shoes?

17.
I think the korean taxis are cheaper than its value in contrast to other transportations. There are several character they have. I will talk about it to you.

18.
More or less koreans are nice people like me.
Many young koreans know English very well.
But they don’t know how they encourage themselves to speak English in front of others.

Is it interesting you, David?
The purpose why I have been writing this is …
I want you to have well balanced and not prejudiced notion about korea. Furthermore, not only for you, but also for visitors looking into this page.
It is so hard to write in English.
Though during reading this you have a trouble to recognize, won’t you blame me? cause I did my best!!! (almost takes 2 hours and half)
I’ve been writing as objectively as possible.
and I always hope you have lots of impressing time in korea.
See you, David.
