Hi everyone, thanks for watching today again! We're hoping to do more of these 'chatting' videos in the future. What sort of subjects would you like us to talk about? Let us know in the comments! :)

Hi Dan and Joel, you have touched upon briefly in the video but I wanted to know more about your opinion on having your own circle in Korea. You have mentioned that perhaps assimilation at this point is not the goal due to the mono-cultural nature of Korea. Having lived there many years, how have you manage to create your own circle where you have Jung? Partners aside, have you been able to connect with other Koreans as well as they do within themselves? Or have you created more lasting friendships with other internationals in Seoul? Love the content!
@@albieatsworld3744 Koreans seem a bit indifferent to strangers but it doesn't mean they are exclusive. They are friendly and like to make new friends!!
Iโm from the Philippines now living in the UK but badly wants to live in S.Korea. So all these content really hits home to me. In some ways, socially Filipinos can relate to Westerners because we have been exposed to different cultures growing up. But Iโve always been drawn to Korean culture earlier on ,way before Kpop and Kdrama became a trend. And I wish that one day, I will get a chance to sit on a porch where you are now and have a chat with a friend, reflecting on how my life has been in S.Korea.

Kate Kang The first time I remember really noticing S.Korea was during early 2000s through watching this cable channel Arirang Tv and I fell in love with the sceneries. I think that started for me. Then a few years later Korean restaurants suddenly popped out anywhere in my city and I fell in love with the food! ๐ And then I made some Korean friends and I realised I easily click with them.
I love your channel! As a Korean expat living in the UK, Iโve experienced many interesting differences between two cultures as well. Now I realise some are just different, not necessarily better or worse. And often itโs down to the individuals, not necessarily the cultural thing. I feel sometimes generalising or labelling certain things as โcultureโ could limit our understanding of the people or the world around us. In the beginning of my life in the UK, I had so many questions about myself.... and learned a lot to embrace things around me with an open mind as much as possible. Iโve also decided not to question or choose any more which is my home: I love both countries and I have two homes. And I am so grateful.
this was such a good talk! and there's so much truth in it, we really learn a lot about ourselves and our culture of we stay open and interested in other cultures and other people. I loved that part! Stay save guys! I'm looking forward to more of this kind of videos. ์๋
After living in Korea for ten years it makes me wonder how I could adjust to the UK again in some respects... crime big issue always at top of the mind there.
Been out of korea for 16 year and back for 4 years now. Spent most of my life outside of Korea and even as i am Korean I feel so much different between Korea nd whr i lived. So much agreed with collectivism vs individualism. Especially with the idea of circle. Its so much hard to get into one and a foriegn korean. Thank you for the video. It really encourages me!! :)
I watched you guys on Korean English Man in earlier years, I think you really helped that channel grow. I'm glad you have your own channel now. I like this meaningful honest opinions shared, it's really necessary these days. It's nice to have well balanced opinions, the good, the bad and the ugly lol. As a Korean American, I'm trying to get familiar with Korean culture again, and I would love to live there and in US 50/50 someday. However, I remember how rude they were to me and my mom when we visited in 2000, never went back since. They saw me as an outsider, Korean but not Korean enough. That whole experience really left a bad taste in my mouth. I believe Korea has changed a lot in recent years due rampant exposure to foreigners and they have evolved into a more friendly culture to the outsiders. For this reason, I want to go back and have a whole new experience in Korea. My sister and I want to spend at least a month just to eat amazing food in Korea. Wish you guys well, I pray for your success๐. You UK guys are amazing๐๐๐ ๐ช๐ช๐ช
From Hackney, and I loved how you mentioned all the different areas I'm used to going to in London. It's really made me see that this isn't the only place in the world. I really want to experience the full blast of other cultures outside of the tasters I've been given her in London. Thanks

:) Thanks for your comment! I (Dan) lived in King's Cross, then Stoke Newington, Dalston, Hackney Downs, Dalston and finally Highbury. I definitely miss Hackney!
I agree with what Joel talked about that you could learn about yourself when you are in a country different with yours in many ways.. I got to love living in a diverse place, community after living in different places in the world from few months to years. It is definitely challenging to live in a culture very different from yours.. but when I tried to understand why people do certain things in certain ways by openly talking with friends and people from that culture, I got to learn to see life with a different perspective and realize what are important values in my life too I didn't really notice before.
All that Dan and Joel talked about, in my opinion, becomes apparent to realise once one immerses in a culture other than one's own as an ex-pat. Even those who meet and interact with lots of 'foreigners' within their own culture and country, you can't really get to have a new set of eyes to process it. But when you go out of your own culture and live in someone else's culture, then your eyes open much wider at once and your mind seems to open as well to wake up to this 'new world', 'new realm' of life. I think that's what Joel meant by saying 'I'm learning about myself as well.' In my personal experience, it has been most definitely a positive one.
I have never been so early! Thank you for the new video ๐

Excellent video chaps. I'd love to see you having a chat about learning Korean, in regards to the different experience you have when you actually learn the language. I've lived in Korea for 3 years now and find it totally different having made the effort, but still know people who can't speak any at all. I thought it'd be interesting to hear your views on it. Cheers.

I like the face that Joel made his already fairly strong accent even stronger. ๐
I agree. Wherever you go, if it is not where you are from, there are all kinds of challenges, difficulties, and frustrations originating from cultural differences. This applies to everyone and everywhere. People who live in a foreign country ususlly go through mixed feelings of excitment and frustration from something new and different. I think that is how we learn and grow. I am living in Canada now (I am Korean) so I could really emphathize with your conversation. Thank you for sharing this! :)
Great conversation. Amazing to see Joel so serious, thoughtful, and introspective after all of the wonderful goofiness Iโve witnessed on Korean Englishman and Jolly. ๐๐๐ Iโm intrigued.
love these candid conversations =) love from portugal

I once left an envelope full of money (my months pay) at a cafe. I didnโt realize until I got home and didnโt know where I left it and searched the cafe as a last resort: they checked the CCTV and handed it to me: itโs truly a privilege to have so much safety!

Loved this. I could listen to you guys for ages! loved the Souff London slang bits too :)
