You basically have to just go and figure it out and experience it on your own. I think the type of person you are determines the type of experience you have down there. Example an introverted person may have a completely different experience than an extroverted person.

Don't native speakers can get by and earn mobcu mire miney than Asians in any Asian countries? Only by teaching English can get by with your life easily. It's utterly what native speakers do so in Taiwan.

Awesome!

Don't know why im watching this lol but i miss the old vibes of GSM

I've been harassed so many times by these fuckers whenever I'm out in cities it feels like a random encounter straight out of GTA. They're just lucky I have enough self-control not to punch them in the fucking face.

It's been too long David

I taught in Korea for 5 years. This is exactly what happened. The familarity settles in.... jadedness really comes in. You start to see "problems" and "issues" that you never saw before. No longer are you glossy eyed and in love. This happened at the very last year I was in Korea. I wish it didn't happen. I still love Korea with all my heart.

Dongsaeng: The anti-Whites attitudes are everywhere. On the other hand, being a Gyopo or a Steve Hatherley amounts to something different. Your message of being able to learn Hangumal ma

I am not christian. So what I understood is cult means who doesn't actually worship God, but bad entities, evil, devil etc??

🍻There's even an app for that now: Drunken English! It's available for both iOS and Android... speekeezy.ca/blog/2022/06/07/drunken-english-app-published-for-ios-and-android/ 🍺

why not type them out too

Our culture men doesn't like if a girl ask him to split he feel like he's not a man and girls will never ask him too

5th one criterium is a cheat =) everyone become more charming after a couple of shots.

well said...I wonder if that is why people drink...in any culture..they are not challenging themselves anymore so they dull their senses with alcohol with the excuse that they are having fun..I prefer to challenge my mind...

<3

You warned the world of ShinCheonJi even before the pandemic!!

3:53 The Most İmportant Lesson i learned from You, TEACHER!💋

Very good point, good video.

David, you made some very interesting points. I'm moving to Korea in the next few months and I'll be starting an English teaching position. I've worked in the same minimum wage job for the last 5 years and so teaching in a foreign land will definitely be a fun, exciting and challenging experience. My extra motivation is that my girlfriend who I've been with for the last 2 years is Korean and we'll be living together in her hometown. I feel that many people can be jaded in any job they do and in any place or city they live in. Dealing with the repetitiveness and monotony of life can be challenging of course, and immersing yourself in the language and culture I think is the best way of getting the most out of an experience such as this. Everyone has their own bubble of understanding, I actually real like that term, and it's up to the individual to expand it if desired and be creative with the opportunities we have in front of us. People are scared of change and usually comfortable with that familiarity you talked about, I see it as a bit of a paradox given that we're comfortable with a certain lifestyle but we want more but are too scared to go out and get it and simultaneously that comfortable life can breed contempt or laziness that we aren't living the best possible life. Excellent video mate!

Wow. You seem like a really fastćinating person. Thank you for sharing this. True insights are always more valuable than simply listing reasons why something is great or not. Are you still in Korea? Have you expored deeper into the local culture?

It was a great time DJing this!

Omg this is so cool

This was a nice video to understand the intermediate conversation level. Thank you for sharing!

Bro, the bye in the end🤣🤣 how embarrassing man...

If you wouldn’t enjoy being a teacher in your home country, don’t become a teacher in another country

Once you live in another country, you’ll never be 100% of what you used to be. This is a good thing. Appreciate the differences and embrace the commonalities. I stopped traveling once I realized that most people want the same things from life.

what is the difference between ssaeyo and oyo

boredom is part of learning ❤️

Korean is easy to learn. Specially the writing. Its make sense. I only tried for 3 weeks . I was picking it up fast. Then the korean girl i was dating. Well it didn't work out lol.

omg you totally get it. thank you for your amazing articulation of this

Sorry but he couldn't be more wrong. Ive lived in several countries and I only ever had this feeling in Korea....because its simply a not very interesting place and its easy to burn out after a year. It's easier to live here in terms of functioning if you don't have much language proficiency, but Japan is infinitely a more interesting country....though its harder to live in.

Learning languages will make me an alcoholic

Fantastic insight my friend

I love how the takeaway boxes have kpop artists on them. Love EXO!

I already taught English in Korea. All I can say the weather is hot in the summer and winters are very cold.

Who were your teachers?

keep going please. part t2o if this conversation. where do you go next as to the conversation! great work!!!!!

Can anyone name the background song.

The novelty in any situation can run out. I didn't necessarily come here to travel and explore. (Though I did.) I came to get a break from NY's expensive a** living and save enough money to invest and someday get out of the rat-race. That was my goal and I was clear about it when I came here. They get an English teacher and I get free accommodation and a paycheck. What I do not like about the work culture (for foreigners) is that your job tells you when you can take time off, they control your living and visa situation, they typically try to overwork and underpay you... It's definitely not a lifestyle I'd like for myself long term. I need the freedom to decide when I use my vacation time and how. And teaching kids year after year is just exhausting.

Korea is another world

Hi David, I hope you see my comment. You say it with wisdom. Thank you for that. I have been teaching Korean students North and South for a long time and I have a lot to say, however, I will keep this brief. As an American. S. Korean children are the most wonderful children to teach but their, Tiger Mom's are a pain in the ass. If they only knew that they are stirring their children to Hell, would they still do what they are doing?

I've never heard someone sum up this sensation so well! I think that this kind of feeling is universal for expats everywhere. I love the suggestions you gave to overcome those feelings of being jaded and in a bubble, because they can become really damaging. And the worst part about it is that people will start to blame their frustrations on the country when really, deep down, they're frustrated that they've gone on auto-pilot again, but they feel more limited by culture and language than in their home countries. Even now, living in Colombia, I feel an overwhelming desire to explore and see new places despite the fact that I'm really quite content with my life. It's definitely human nature to constantly seek out new stimuli. I've been trying to become more of a tourist in my own city just to get out of my comfort zone and experience new things and so far it's helped quite a bit.
