+melovekittie Oh I wasn't referring to the act itself of not holding the door as being mean but rather the sense of joy that she claimed to get from it due to feeling she had inconvenienced someone. The act may not be wrong in itself for people with an entirely Korean mindset, but the way she explained it, she is still inculcated with an American frame of mind (which is understandable since cultural programming can be hard to shake). That is why she still sees it as rude on occasion, which becomes problematic because since she feels she has no choice but to do it, she wound up getting a perverse sort of pleasure out of it,and that pleasure is what I was referring to. It just didn't seem like a very healthy feeling to entertain on a regular basis. But she seemed to be mostly joking anyway.

TheLivsarven It all depends on the person, type of carpet, and again the person. Some people only consider that if that have nice carpet they don't want to clean in some part of the house( my mother). Some people consider the outside dirt and are grossed out(my sister). Some people just feel like "it's a carpet, people put their feet on them, dogs put their feet on them after being outside, cats put their feet on them after being in the litter box, there's already millions of bacteria on it 24/7, so why bother, it's not like I plan to eat off of the carpet."

I'm sorry if this seems ignorant, but are you American? Cause America is probably the only country I've heard of where they don't take their shoes off. I'm from Norway and I can tell you that I'd never dare to walk inside the house with my shoes on. And besides, it's uncomfortable. (Excuse my English writing)

The spitting thing shocked me in China as well. I was in a shopping centre with my friends, and we seemed to notice that 1/5 of men who walked past us, would just spit, and no one would react. Big culture shock, coming my from England. Spitting is frowned upon. I tried my best not to react 😅.

In America you will go to jail if you let your kids go to the park by themselves. It sounds scary to let such a young child go on the bus and shopping by themselves but I'm willing to bet Korean children grow up very independent. Also, with the whole being comfortable with your kids touching/being around strangers - I wonder if there is a low rate of pedophile crimes in Korea? It would be interesting to see statistics on that vs America. Maybe it isn't so common so peole aren't as worried about it? Or it maybe the media in the US makes such a circus whenever a child goes missing that it has everyone scared to let their kid walk to their neighbor's house. Thoughts?

+heynabbsss I rarely see children in Korea going around by themselves. especially under 5 or sth? no way but in the daytime, I can sometimes see the elementary kids alone at the supermarket when It's really close and takes about 1 minute by walk. These days the rate of child offenders is high enough and even crimes to adults, so Korean parents should take care of their kids

+heynabbsss My brother and I used to hitchhike to the beach nearly every summer day. if we didn't catch a ride, we would pay the 15 cents for the bus. This was in the early 70s and I was maybe 7 years old. Nobody got hurt, kidnapped, raped, or anything else. There was more crime then too. Yes it has to do with social conditioning including what you see on the news, and what people consider to be "normal" versus abnormal. We went from normal to "helicopter parenting" to "free range parenting" and it's all crap. people need to get to know their neighbors and that doesn't mean friending them on facebook.

+heynabbsss Don't be so sure about that "I'm willing to bet Korean children grow up very independent" part. In USSR I went to school starting from 2nd grade (age 8), some started even earlier. There it wasn't so much about independence as about everything being orderly and parents having no time, besides school was pretty close to home and public transportation was more or less OK.

Japan does a lot of "let's order as a group" instead of individually and then" let's split the bill" for what a lot of times more expensive then if I ordered by myself... Y.Y And my school had a smoking room 0.0 Many restaurants have smoking sections too. It was kinda crazy shocking!

I've been researching traveling information for Korea and I really wanted to go just by myself but as a lone female I'm always weary, even just traveling a couple hours by myself but when I was looking up stuff for Korea there were a lot of stories and advocates that Korea was a very safe place to travel even as a single female, which is awesome! It also took me by surprise because I live in California and almost anywhere you go here it's not really 100% safe to be going by yourself, and in a major city forget that without some form of defense! I can totally relate to all the things you mentioned, I feel like after living here I would be very shocked to see such freedom on the streets.

Hey,,, I have a random question. I'm studying korean right now and I'm turning 15 this year, I want to take a gap year after college/sixth form (I'll be 18) and go to Korea. Do you think I'll be fluent/good enough to communicate with people there? Also I wondered what places ( e.g. towns, cities, shops and public places ) I would be able to meet someone that could most likely speak fluent/good enough to communicate with English. Or if there were areas where most foreign people are. I know for example just random areas in London (I'm from the UK) are good to meet foreign people. Thank you !

Im 14 and from the uk too!! A tip i would recommend a time period where you only speak Korean! Its very hard to learn Korean here because their isn't any native speakers. So i basically talk to myself in Korean, go to a local Korean shop/restaurant and have a conversation with the owners! As long as you immerse yourself in the language and you use it on a daily basis 4 years of learning Korean is more than enough!

Wonder if people are so okay with children being held by strangers and all that how it's not a issue wit pedophiles. I remember watching Hello Counselor once and everyone was laughing at a concern a child had over his father doing what would be considered creepy in the U.S. to do to your child. The kid legitimately did not like what his father was doing, yet everyone else though his concern was hilarious and that it was normal. I sometimes worry though that stuff happens to people over there and its never revealed, or disguised as normal, because not many people care if you interact with their child.

Forgot what episode it was, but the concern was that the kid's dad would not stop touching his privates, and/or smiling at him when he was in the bathroom. They made it seem like it was normal and that the dad was just proud of his son growing older. The kid didn't like it which was obvious, and it just was overally creepy once you see how his father reacts and smiles about it. That's just me.

+ミルスローラ Adults are supposed to be role models to children in korea. This is why most people act responsibly around children, and the media portrays children as such so that nothing creepy can be thought about them. This is part of reason animation industry died in korea. Because of the stigma that only children are supposed to watch cartoons, and it would be quirky at best, for grownups to watch and enjoy a medium traditionally made for kids. So korea makes great animation aimed for kids, and there's not a lot of backing for cartoons for adults. (think Japan as a complete opposite) Plus, there are cameras covering every inch of korea, so that helps prevent crime before it even happens.

I've been watching your videos for a while now. They have really given me a larger insight into Korean culture and almost kind of a "What to expect when visiting." Which helps so much because I'm going to be doing an exchange student abroad program at Ewha Womans University in Seoul. But I'm still super nervous to be in a complete different country on my own haha. But it will be fun! :)

I found all these things to be true as well. I like to cross reference with your video's...like am I the only one that noticed that Korean people are so comfortable with their children walking up and talking to strangers? I feel like it just shows how communal they are and how they all view each other as brothers and sisters, which is my favorite part of Korean culture. I can't wait to go back :)

Hi Megan. It's not just Korean. I was born in Vietnam but have lived in the USA for over 20 years. I went back last summer and had 100% exact same cultural shock that you listed!!!

I'm majoring in Korean in Hungary and the funny thing is, our teacher complained to us in one of our classes about how people slam the door on her face and how much it upsets her (we weren't the ones doing it haha). She's Korean too so it took me quite by surprise to hear the exact opposite from you :) although she's been living out of korea for a long time so this could be the reason too :D thanks for the video, it's always interesting to hear personal experiences about a place ^^*

3 Things . . . 1)I FREAKING LOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVEEEEEEE THAT WIG!!!!! 2)I had a feeling you had a boyfriend and you weren't tellin' us! It's cool tho, after that whole "oppa" situation on Instagram I could understand. 3)There was a similar situation that went semi-viral that happened on the Chicago subway, the train was packed and a women was standing up with her very sleepy daughter and an Asian lady (idk if she was Korean or not) picked her up and held the little girl in her arms until they arrived at their stop. It was beautiful, I wish more community-oriented things like that happened.

I LOVE that story about the mom and the baby on the subway! I wish so much that was more a part of American culture. When my toddler was six months old, we were leaving the doctor's office after she had gotten shots and she was so upset. We get out to the car and her car seat buckle was all messed up so I had to juggle my screaming baby with a stroller out of the trunk, ALL THE WHILE a healthy young woman in the car next to me was smacking her gum, sitting in the driver's seat and playing on her phone, occasionally looking over at me in annoyance instead of offering to HELP. Sorry, hearing that story made me think about how irritated I still am at that memory...

I watch so many Korean culture things that whenever anyone makes videos like this I usually have heard of all these things at least once. But I have never heard of the kids thing! Tbh that's pretty cool, it just shows how safe Korea is and how much of a community it is.
