I mostly agree with your opinions as a Korean. But Korea and Japan are quite close each other but quite far..! I am really thankful you made like kinda these videos. These things would help for foreign people who might hesitate to visit Korea or Japan. I hope you enjoy all the time while you are in Korea.

[@돈데크만-r2i]

South Koreans lived as a single people for thousands of years. So, there are still many people who make foreigners awkward when they go to the provinces. South Koreans are not as friendly as Japanese. Even the same Koreans aren't friendly to each other.. If you visit South Korea and people look cold, don't get it wrong. It's just a cultural difference. But if you have a problem, anyone from South Korea will help you.

[@lucaevangelisti5132]

Same for Japan, everybody will help you

[@nyapankir4776]

Thank you so much for making this video, my whole life I always wanted to live in either Japan or South Korea but I’ve always wondered which one.

[@khwistal]

Still figuring out if I wanna learn japanese or korean/where to live and this video has been really helpful! I still have some questions unanswered, e.g. cultural differences? My friend is japanese and she says the people are VERY reserved and it’s hard to integrate... did you feel like this? And does this apply to korea too?

[@angelinajackson7684]

1 year later but I think it’s still valid, in Japan it is very reserved and the people aren’t using to seeing other people who aren’t Japan. There are a lot of different customs there regarding manners and they can be described as ‘fake’ in a simple term. They don’t say what they think because most of them have grown up with the mindset with keeping the peace and not disturbing anyone. People usually keep to themselves. I not saying this as a bad thing but I think it’s important to say

[@angelinajackson7684]

They also have an issue with cultural progress because since they’re only around the same culture they don’t like making any changes

[@michaelasssxdd258]

Well I think both Koreans and Japanese are reserve people since most Asians are like that but I heard Japanese won't sit next to you and Koreans will just stare if that makes sense

I’m a Korean but I have lived almost all my life in America and even though I live at Korea Korean taxi drivers would take advantage because of my accent. I have to say Korean taxi’s always try to rip me off. Then again it’s the same in America. They’ll go super slow to run up the meters and will take highways even when you can beat the traffic going locally. Not sure how it is in Japan.

[@Daylightfulness]

I don't think taxis in Japan rip you off perse, but they are so expensive there is no need to I guess haha

Daegu is the type of city where it's not dauntingly large but still big enough that you're not gonna be bored of it. It's incredibly easy to navigate and the transport is very cheap. It has 2 subway lines and one monorail line which you can transfer between for free. To use the subways it costs 1400 won (around US$1) which you can use to navigate almost all of the major areas of Daegu.

So what I’m hearing is both Japan and Korea are way cheaper than the U.S. I could be saving a lot of money once Covid is over I was planning on moving to Japan anyways. And also I heard the reason things in Japan are more expensive is because people make more money then u would in Korea but I could be wrong this is just things I’ve heard.

[@kawtarrai9026]

Japanese average salaries are higher than Korean average salaries which also explains why the living cost in Japan is higher. As for the comparison to the US, I can't say Japan is cheaper. It depends on what we are comparing and where.

[@OutcastYBJ]

@@kawtarrai9026 nah Japan is cheaper i I moving there soon I have 2 friends that live there and all there rent plus bills comes up to 700 dollars while my standard American apartment cost 1.2k dollars and I’m from New York when apartments be cost over 4k for a small little space so Japan and Korea are looking like the best living options I could save a lot of money even more if I lived in a rural area or suburban

[@kawtarrai9026]

@@OutcastYBJ Yes, that's why I said it depends on where you are in the US and Japan - the US is huge and living expenses/taxe rates, etc vary from state to state. Same applies to Japan - just going from Tokyo to Saitama for example makes a huge difference. If we are comparing NYC to Tokyo specifically, then NYC is more expensive. This is coming from a Tokyoite who also lived in the US. I hope you enjoy your stay in Japan! :)

For more detailed info on Korean/Japanese public transportation. Korean public transportation including taxis are either run by the government or subsidized by the government and tax payers so everyone can afford to get around. Japan on the other hand public transportation like subways, trains, buses and taxis are owned by different private companies making the prices more expensive.
