10 things i LOVE about living in korea

[@drchohyunjung]

Hello~ I'm a Korea doctor. These days , I try to learn English for foreigner. Welcome to korea.

[@mmt1575]

Hello. I'm a medical student in Pakistan. Can foreign doctors work in korea?

[@drchohyunjung]

@@mmt1575 If you want work in korea, you have to graduate medical university that certified by ministry of health of korea and have Korea medical licensing examination. You have to have Korean language test either.. There are few foreign doctors in korea.. I have never seen yet. I didn't know how foreiger get korean medical licence until now.

I left my entire wallet (full of both won and yuan, and my PASSPORT) in a kakaotaxi and I got it all back! I went to the police station and they helped me find the cabbie and everything was still there. I literally cannot even imagine getting any of my stuff back if I did that in the U.S. I also dropped my passport in the airport on my way back to the U.S. from China and they upgraded my seat because "losing my passport must have stressed [me] out" I was like ??? THIS WAS MY FAULT Editing to add that I learned to never travel tired. I've never had any travel mishaps except when I'm exhausted lmao

Literally the opposite to me. I was in Lyon, France and a guy literally came into my hostel room and stole my money. I literally saw him and had a weird feeling as I entered my room (I had roommates btw) and when i checked my purse and saw what happened i immediately told the reception desk and they said that has happened before with the same guy and they have him on camera. I reported him to the police and they were rude. And a receptionist told me that the hostel got a new insurance for theft. And the manager told me that he will lie to the insurance company if he has to but the owner of the hostel didnt want to pay me back my stolen money nor did he wanna report it to the insurance company and so I never got my money back and then literally 2 days later my friend got pickpocketed and her iphone was stolen even though her hand was in her pocket and she immediately felt it and turned around but we couldnt catch the guy. I helped her find a policeman and i reported to him what happened and honestly he was nice kinda but shitty service. He was like yeah so? Idk what to do for u? I cant help u. Just wow. But like also someone in the US broke into my home and when i saw him beforehand looking thru my window i knew something was up. So i memorized everything about him. And ran into my sisters room to get her phone as he was already into my house. But by the time the police came the guy was gone. Thankfully we hid in 1 room and i locked the doors cuz i literally saw the handle moving as he tried to get in. Anyways i gave my statement to the police and told thrm he clearly came through the kitchen window cuz his footprint was printed there and all the stuff was on the floor. I also went down to the police station to look through a book of suspects but i told them none are him but i showed them the features that the guy did have (which i was right cuz those were mixed features. None of them were real ppl except 1 person). And i told them he was bald yet they stopped a poor guy walking on the road 10min later who had a full set of hair and he was just walking after buying food from macdonald. So clearly the police didnt believe me and they literally told me as i was giving them my statement, "why didnt u tell us while he was still at ur home, it would have been such an easy arrest for us ans cool!" Like wow thx dude. Sorry i couldnt do ur job for u. I literally told u everything i memorized from his look. His clothes (the color, pattern, how worn out they are), his facial features, type of glasses he wor, height, weight, foot size..... But clearly none of that helped. 🙈 My sister and i had nightmares. It was worse for me cuz i was the 1 protecting her too cuz she was frozen from the start before even entering the house. And that happened while i was still in high school. So i think i handled it well. 😊

[@zaker721]

I like that. It may have been your fault but we all have lapses and it was STILL a stressful and scary situation for you. So...yeah. I get it. But then I don't belong in America.

[@courtinkorea9776]

100% my favourite thing about Korea is how nice people are and how willing they are to help you. If they notice you are struggling with something or trying to figure something out they will try their best to speak to you in english to help you. They also love to give little gifts or free things lol it's so cute. My Korean coworkers are super cute too we all take turns buying food or coffees for each other and they make sure you've eaten and are alright and will do anything to help you. Korea is so so so cute

Something I love about Korea is that in western countries it can be seen as gay (btw it's 2020 how are we still passing that off as an insult 😒) for men to dress up, have a skincare routine, wear makeup etc. and in Korea it's completely normal, most guys do do it. I just love that because it's just so sad that in the west a man can be made fun of for wearing makeup. But I just feel like in Korea that wouldn't happen because it's normal for them. idk I might be wrong but I think? 😂

[@adriennehilll]

yes, i love it!

[@mariapuscas5855]

Lol depends on the country. In Europe, many men are pretty fancy with their clothes and hairstyles. I don't think anyone knows or cares about skincare. As for makeup, you are right that generally the west doesn't accept it on men...however it is accepted for people who are rockstars, or who are dress like rock fans. People don't consider those "gay looking". Same goes with actors and models. I feel like there is a type of makeup that is considered male makeup in the west, like eyeliner for the rock fans and foundation for those with skin problems and TV celebrities. Lipstick, blush and eyeshadow are less acceptable for straight men and considered more of a gay thing.

It is nice that people are more thoughtful about others in Korea. They will always take care of you & hospitality is very important there. In the US, you're expected to fend for yourself. It can feel very lonely and depressing even if there are people around. Koreans are always in your business, so even though this can be a little annoying, it can be super helpful when you're having some kind of problem. They'll take action right away! It's part of Korean society to obligate themselves to help you out and make sure you're okay.

Even I looooove Korea, In my country (Greece) all the medical system (public hospitals) is for free. You don't have to pay for anything, even for foreigners. Except if you want to go to a privet doctor. And just to know, Greece is one of the countries with the best doctors in the world, with the most medical findings and awards. Also here if you want to rent a house with one room and one living room the prices can start from 200 euro only (in an old house) till 400 euro most. So, I think we are one of the cheapest countries in Europe for rending. The thing that I love in Korea is very cheap food and transportation. Especially their food. In my opinion, they have the best food in the world and the smartest businessman also.

[@JiSungWoo]

Basically, Most of clinics and hospitals are private except some government ones for remote area for supporting locals. You can go any clinic as you have health care insurance by government. Even small Hospitals have MRI and CT. Most of doctors are specialist. So you don't need a referrer from GP to see specialist. I live oversea where health care is almost free but can't really compare with ones in Korea in quality and speed.

The only thing that I was shocked with when I visited Korea was that many people on the street were aggressive. Even when I tried moving a little to the side for someone passing me, they still bumped into me. And the old ladies are especially aggressive. Otherwise, I actually wanted to stay because I could look past the aggressive walkers; nothing much different from people in NYC. A lot of small business owners gave discounts and on the house stuff.

The thing I miss the most about living in Korea is the heated floor! Heat rises, so heating the floor is a very efficient way to heat a room. In the US, the heating air vents can be on the ceiling! The floor is super cold!!! Also, I hate the carpeting because you can never get all the dust mites that live in between the fibers! This is horrible to breath in if you live on the floor! Furthermore, I miss the entryways in Korea where you take off your shoes. In the US, you have to have a mud room, but even that isn't like in Korea. In Korea, you take off your shoes, and there's a step up into your home where the floor is super clean and warm. I miss, miss, miss that so so so much! In my early childhood, I lived in a traditional Korean house in the countryside, and we had the traditional Korean Kitchen & entry way (the cement is very cold in the winter). We had an underground food storage that keeps food cold. There was no fridge. You have to light the fire and start the water boiling in the big rice pot! It makes the main home nice & warm! There's a big step up into the main room in the home, and it's warm and multifunctional. We had a toilet outside and a water pump outside; no indoor pluming. Believe it or not, I really miss this a lot! Well, maybe not the outdoor toilet as much.

First, usually, there is the delivery fee of 2500 won if u order something online. food delivery is free tho. second, restaurants usually closes at 10:00 or 11:00 pm but bars, pubs, restaurants mainly for the people drinking are open until 2:00, 3:00, or even 10:00 am next morning. Third, you're right about people not stealing things mostly; however, I didnt see many people who put efforts to give things they have obtained in public areas like on a street or park bench back to their owners, especially if the item is expensive like a cell phone or a wallet. In restaurants, stores, transportations or other private venues, they just give the lost items to the employees, staffs, or securities there. Fourth, I dont know about the birth control pills but you definitely need the prescription for the prescription drugs at pharmacies and it is quite strict. Thanks for sharing your feedbacks. Great video. Welcome and hope you have a pleasant stay

10:33 The dog out there is having the best moment of his dream

[@sebastianrivera6976]

I honestly think people should always be aware of how they look and be responsible to look their best at all times, specially when around other people. I wish people followed that value in America. Take care of your skin, wear nice clothes/style, and keep yourself fit and healthy.

Facts spoken, most of mainstream media would consider this as "toxic" "body-shaming" but that kind of mindset definitely makes sense.

[@rjjohnson1986]

Ah yes I love this! Love how you go into details about what you like about living in Korea, makes me excited to move out there!

[@bennycoyac8327]

This dog is freakin adorable

[@ConnorLifts4Fun]

Thanks, im moving to South Korea now

[@rupidm]

In Korea, everything is super fast! But you got to move along. I have to say It is stressful.

[@tracy_cakkes]

Wow ur making me want to move there lol I’d love to do something like that

[@HelloKitty60621]

I want to learn Japanese and Korean, because I might live there for a year or two by choice just because its beautiful.

[@twobeer3316]

I liked that just about everything was local, within a block or two or walking distance.

[@carriegagnon1576]

I agree with all of these as well!!! And for the clothes/appearance part totally agree. Not a people of Walmart culture at all. Lol. The bus changes on Sundays for some lines and I didn’t know and got lost and a lady walked up to me and helped me telling me how to get to where I needed to be. Very very friendly people.

Sometime around 2005, SK became super advanced in many areas. 5 years later, it probably overtook America, Europe and Japan in social trends, health care, pop culture, technology and more. Now, SK is probably the best country to live in the world. And scary thing is SK continues to improve. I live in America, it is mess here. It seems USA just has just the military, higher education (super expensive...), and silicon valley to brag about.

Have you ever been to butterfinger pancakes?? It’s so delicious! I currently live her for the 2nd time and I’m happy to be back.

[@Purrf3ctP3ach]

Nice as an NYCer to know I won't be missing the bodega when I visit!

[@keshavjindal7395]

I'm day by day loving korea more. I'm Indian and the reason I like korea is that it is a very developed country but it hasn't forgotten is roots and values. The US culture seems extremely individualistic. Also, the cost of living in the US is 5-6x to that in India. But the cost of living in Korea is 2-3x of India. A nice balance in most things. I am planning to have a year there in 2023.

[@sojo1]

I lived in singapore and I loved the amazing food the most, and public transport, and how close I was for travel to the rest of asia. Also the iced coffee was bomb lol

[@Hellohello-kk6sd]

How long did you live there for?

[@Hqmptynpw]

These days I noticed some very prejudiced and even racist people from other countries in comment sections making manipulative and sweeping negative generalizations about South Korea and it's peopl due to jealousy and envy. The types of negative generalizarions and criticisms that those making it would hypocritically declare as "racist or bigotry," if said about them.

[@alexandergoldman]

I've visited Korea and have Korean friends and I have never come across a video that encompasses so much of Korean life and culture in under 12 minutes so succinctly. Sure, Korea's not perfect but I think, for the most part, a genuine willingness to improve and advance. Overall, a good balance of holding on to some tradition but realizing shortcomings and advancing where work needs to be done. The respect for elderly is embedded from the language (regular vs honorific) and you see that on subways and getting out of seats for pregnant, elderly etc. Overall, incredible video. Keep up the AMAZING work...so informative and interesting. Craving some Korean Hanwoo BBQ or KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) after watching this...

[@valeriaehlers6079]

Pharmacy’s in USA can prescribe birth control, you do not have to go to a provider for the prescription anymore.

[@beaandsanghoon]

street food is one of my favorite things in Korea too! like 오뎅 in cold weather is bomb lol

[@trent6234]

That dog was dreaming hard there for a bit lol

[@Steve-ls3lr]

South Korea thanks you guys and loves u guys a lot!!!

[@lucyferina]

Exactly you can ship stuff easier because of the size of the country. The US on the other hand , it's like the entire European union combined. not so easy to overcome those distances.
