What It's Like Living in Korea

[@Truecrimeresearcher224]

I hope one day I get to visit Japan and Korea. I'm 26 and currently broke

[@KristieBr1991]

I feel you! My top 2 places I MUST GO to are Japan (Nothing Specific) and Greece :)

[@MsPink0769]

I feel your pain. I just had a baby so it's definitely not gonna happen anytime soon.

[@jigglypuff52]

Get a job and budget your money. Work toward what you want and I'll be great when you get there.

[@whoareyou8199]

Hi! I'm Korean and I want to give info about the fine dust pollution. The fine dust comes from China, because the Northern/ Northwestern wind blows from them, mainly around Spring. It wasn't like that when I was young, but as China got developed and built more factories in their Eastern cost(which is closest land to Korea) it became a serious problem. So, people try to wear masks in some serious days. I recommend you to download apps that tell you the degree of pollution of that day, so that you can prepare a mask. But don't worry, Korean air isn't 24/7 polluted. The direction of wind changes after Spring, so we don't get fine dusts in other seasons like Summer.

[@yaya5tim]

It's everywhere, Taiwan is affected too

[@meera0109]

Is korea is good place to live?

Protip for the summer, put your food garbage in a plastic bag and freeze it then when trash day comes you can just put it in the garbage bucket. Helps with the stench in the summer

[@sharlainjapan]

Ah that’s such a good idea!!!

[@fredstolemysocks2]

I always did this haha

[@daisyvazquez6450]

Sarah Martinez it definitely helps! I do the same. It’s a habit already that even winter I still do it lol

[@nenalindatrece]

I do it year round as well. It's so much better than having it rot inside the bucket

[@Gargasmells]

"good air days" this whole concept just sounds so dystopian and post apocalyptic

[@sharlainjapan]

It really does😩

[@unexpired1]

Good air days are really special in the spring...

[@ejavenger]

Spent a year in S.Korea in Kunsan south of Seoul. Love, Love, Love the food. I found a place where I live now that serves Korean dishes but not the same. I know everything you are referring to. Enjoy your time there. It is a great country

[@sunshinecindy570]

Hi., enjoyed this video. I’m so looking forward to learning more about Korea. Your Japan videos inspired me so much I found a local Japanese Grocery store here in Connecticut. Been trying different snacks, candies and other foods. Also, I found a new connection with my twenty year old son. He loves the Japanese culture and Anime and other programs like it. I’m able to talk with him about things in your videos and he shows me different programs and video games. We even go to the new grocery store together and explore. So glad your enjoying your new home. Hope your husband is enjoying his new job. Gods blessings always!🙏🏼💖🙏🏼💖🙏🏼

Please do a Korean vegan restaurant / grocery store products roundup video!!!

[@min1549]

Yes, kudasai

[@shannon2748]

I'm happy to see that veganism is on the rise in Korea, especially in Seoul. A vegan grocery store, the first of its kind, just opened in the HBC (haebangchon) area of Seoul. It's called Vegan Space.

[@arrietty2001]

When I went to Korea and Japan I also noticed that using the subway/ traveling is super easy in Korea, in Japan I got pretty confused the whole time but in Korea, wow, it was the best subway system I’ve seen even compared to my home country. Everything is super easy to understand and you can even use an app, not to mention they put the romanisation under the Korean name so it’s easier for foreigners. The only issue I had is that it’s almost always super crowded and you’re lucky when you get a seat, in Japan it felt a bit more calm but that could just be me :)

[@bbbproduction8407]

Vie - so true!!

[@Lanttimatkat]

Moving to new places and living there and even slow traveling and staying longer periods is an amazing way to learn about the culture. I'm excited to see your take living in Korea after living there for few months or a year. Keep on doing your amazing videos! I'll stay on and follow :) -Antti / Lanttimatkat

[@d_anney2933]

Wow, I'm a Korean girl who lives in Australia for working holiday. I enjoyed this video. I'm not good at speaking English so I learned about that. Your video is so helpful for my studying and interesting. And also I'm hoping you can use bath because there are a lot of apartments that have baths in Korea! I don't know that how much time you will stay in Korea but if, when I go back Korea next year, you will still stay in there, I want to meet you! Again thanks for your video! I hope you enjoy your life in Korea😖😖

Hi, I am considering obtaining a working holiday visa in either Australia or New Zealand. I was wondering what type of work do you do? Furthermore, did you find a place to live before arriving to Australia? It would be greatly appreciated if you answered, even if it's in Korean because I speak both.

[@WayGaijin]

Gosh I miss Korea so much. Living in Japan is nice, but Korea was such a dream.

[@breaseroto8552]

I am happy with that you have good memories about living in my home country.

[@liviclare]

Tideoflung wait what? lol

[@scandisnowgirl3696]

I'm an American who moved to Norway three years ago. I miss baths too bc most places in Europe only have showers (for space reasons). One nice thing about these wet bathrooms though is cleaning them is SO easy! You just spray your cleaners all over the floors, walls, sink and toilet, scrub with a long handled brush if it needs it and then spray the whole bathroom down with the shower head. I love it!

[@min1549]

Scandi Snowgirl really! So you prefer Norway? It's more expensive right

[@scandisnowgirl3696]

min it is more expensive here but it’s only a problem if you’re visiting from outside of Northern Europe bc people here get paid really really well. So I don’t really notice the prices so much. Plus when we travel our money goes so much farther! We have a saying “everywhere is cheap for Norwegians” lol

[@scandisnowgirl3696]

Pix lol ok troll. I live in Oslo Norway. I literally only know one person who has a bath instead of just a shower. Most people who have a bath live in the country bc in the cities there’s not enough room for a bath. And yes, Norwegians are paid EXTREMELY well.

[@min1549]

Pix she is talking about * Norway in specific tho !

[@maggie198333]

I went to Seoul for a week and then to Tokyo and surrounding area for the following 3 weeks. The most noticeable difference is that Seoul street is a lot dirtier compared to Tokyo.

[@itshoneybii]

There was a day I forgot to check the air quality, and I went out for a run... big mistake.. got so sick!

OMG yes, when I was in Korea the train stations were super easy to navigate! When I moved to Japan I found it also easy, but mostly because for a couple of times I just to on trains and rode around to find patters and such (I'm so extra lmao).

I really love that in this video- you didn’t miss or leave anything out. You shared everything that would matter or affect someone if they are visiting Korea or moving there- at least what you can notice from just a month there. Thank you!

[@missy3gxl]

I was in Korea this January and it was absolutely amazing (but so so cold), the food there is some of the best food I’ve had in my life. I’m living in Shanghai now so it’s interesting hearing about the similarities and differences.

[@slaine3166]

woahhhhh, how do I even start this comment? I remember when I was about to graduate highschool and trying to enter college, I started watching japan related video and ended up liking your blog-ish daily lives in Japan youtuber. It was just about 5 years ago that I started to seriously learning Japanese for few years as korean and now, I'm already fluent enough to even live in Japan and see you moved to Korea where I used to live feels very nostalgic that the youtuber once I admired to live in Japan is now in Korea! It feels like I was like temporary parent that I was caring her of. I hope that you can settle in Korea with very much comfortable way of life where it can leads you maybe second chapter of your life!

[@wil6614]

LOL! The leaves! That's one thing I loved about Korean food too. I never knew meat wrapped in leaves were so good until I tried it! Watching your Korea videos make me want to come back and visit Korea again :)

[@annaslattery3878]

Sounds like you're flourishing in Korea! I'm extremely excited for you :) Thank you for sharing with us!!

[@aleyere9423]

I liked your vlogs in Japan but I'm really excited to see your vlogs about Korea. It just seems like a country that I would enjoy visiting and that would suit me--fast internet, spicy food, beautiful people, fun music, everything's 24 hours, everything's stylish but not all cutesy etc.

[@stephanieanne842]

Someone commented on a random video of why koreans wear masks and i told them that one of the reasons was bcuz of air pollution and this person kept commenting how it wasnt true and how i was bullshitting it and giving out wrong information as if to scare ppl from coming to korea😂 im like its a fact that air is polluted at times where it gets really bad but omfg she highkey got so sensitive about it asking me if ive been to every part of south korea to say such 'absurd' things

[@Athen239]

Ehh....I've gotten into internet fights too. Just stick to the facts, just like you did, and then let it go. Though that air stuff does scare me so I really hope something is done to fix the problem.

[@XxShynixX]

Another common misconception is that most of it is coming from China. And while it is true that some pollution and sand blows over to Korea from China, research shows that the majority of it is actually created by Korea, but the government uses the media to push all the blame on China to avoid having to find an immediate solution.

[@sharlainjapan]

Shinnel Ferary if it were mostly coming from Korea wouldn’t it be constantly bad then?

[@alinamurriate1696]

Sharmander Ah no. China isn't always bad concerning pollution. Last time I went to china everyone wore masks due to pollution, however the time before that pollution wasn't that big of a problem.

[@XxShynixX]

No, it's the same case for China itself. Air pollution isn't bad all year round in China, it happens mostly as a result of coal burning in households and power plants which increase drastically in the winter, and even then, it doesn't happen every day. A considerable percentage of Seoul's air pollution is caused by local coal powered power plants, though pollution and sandstorms from China also contribute to the problem.

[@LilithM09]

Face masks with filters, my friends in Korea use them all the time to deal with the pollution when they have to be out on days when it's really bad.

[@arinelle85]

The air pollution for me is one of the biggest downsides of living in Korea (I live in Seoul, too). I'm asthmatic, so a mask is something I have on hand at all times. What I did was buy one from Vogmask (there are other companies that make them), it's a great mask and it's reuseable. I'm happy you're enjoying your time here, Sharla! I look forward to seeing more videos. :D

[@bbrobin1011]

My experience from living just across the sea from Seoul in China, the yellow dust is not from polluted air but it is blown from the Gobi desert. In the summer, at times, we had to keep the windows closed so that we didn’t have to clean the entire house from the dust.

I'm Korean and lived most of my life in Korea, and things that i absolutely cannot get used to even though i'm a Korean are those : Smelly streets because of poor sewage system, dirty streets with cigarette butts and other trash, people (usually older people) spitting in public with hideous throat sound, air pollution and smog, bad and aggressive drivers who don't give a crap about the pedestrian right of way. (red light and crosswalk doesn't mean anything in this country. cars can do whatever they want. of course the highest traffic death rate follows.)

[@shannon2748]

[@myungjinhan8277]

I can hardly believe it's from a person who's lived in Seoul for a month. quite precise and perceptive. I'm pretty sure its quite relatable to those who lived in both Japan and Korea. There were bunch of things that I missed when I got back to Korea from Japan. though it's also the other way around. there were many things I really missed when I first moved to Japan.

[@Smurffkittyy]

[@theunknownbeing7]

Yeah as someone who grew up with spicy food, it's all about raising tolerance and getting used to it. Once you eat spicy food enough, it's no longer spicy and it just gives you a good feeling. Eat even hella spicier often and you'll reach a point where your body sweats and you feel all the endorphins running making you feel great, but you won't even feel the spice. Your tongue gets used to it pretty easily.

[@shannon2748]

Yep. I love spicy and hot food. I started eating hot peppers out of my parents' garden as a kid. I don't find Korean food to be that spicy...and it's a different kind of hot. It is not a fiery hot like Thai food.

[@Lorena3mo]

I am learning English and the way you express yourself is very useful for practising "listening". Of course, the subtitles are indispensable. Also, you're expresive, kind, funny and it's amazing! I am a new subscriber.

[@sharlainjapan]

[@_waiai]

I went to Seoul for a trip a few months ago and I was actually super disappointed by the subway system (I think I had high expectations because every video on South Korea always says good things about the subway) They have no maps anywhere, sure you could have the app but as a tourist I didn't buy data so I had to keep a booklet map and look at it all the time. And there were no staff at all at most stations, only at like 2 or 3 major ones.

I was recently talking to my boyfriend and I decided to pursue teaching in South Korea and he is more than ok with it. I've been having issues deciding cause its far from home and a new country, but I think with the stress going on here, it would be nice to have new scenery. I'll be in Seoul and Busan this September into October and then after that I will work on preparing to move.

[@N_Ides]

I'm Korean but don't do well with really spicy foods either. There are definite alternatives to spicy food in Korea though I'm not sure about vegetarian fare. There are other foreign vegetarian KZbinrs in Korea, like caricakes. Cari's great and might be able to offer ideas about vegetarian Korean places and foods which might not be as spicy.

[@cheryldailey5310]

I will admit rewinding to make sure you said "AF." 😁 I would be interested in a Korean language update. One of my resolutions for 2018 is to learn a new language. I picked Korean because I thought it would be easier than Japanese. Spanish would be more practical where I live, but so far it's been fun learning new words.

[@shallowsleep15]

I’m in the beginning stages of learning Korean as well, and on one language blog I follow they even mentioned the people shoving on the trains and stuff, and they don’t really think it’s rude, it’s just how it is there. I was wondering how you were settling in and about any immediate differences you’ve noticed! Thanks for this! ^_^ I’ve tried so many times to get more into Japanese fashion, but like you said, a lot of it is super girly and cutesy, and I’m not that girly and just can’t get into it.

12:00 That's just in the Spring. It's "yellow dust" season now. Will clear up soon. I noticed it before I even got to my apt.

[@iamme9185]

Korea is over all cheaper and spacious than Japan, and the buildings and roads are mostly brand new. Cooler and less humid in summer season and warmer in winter season due to floor heating system compare to Japan. And the Internet Speed is way faster than Japan and even if you talk to your friends loudly in the subway or bus, no one will care about it. and rarely happens Earthquakes and very safe streets even though you walk alone at midnight. Security deposit is expensive than Japan but you're gonna get that money intactly when you move out unlike Japan. Many things are better than Japan but also many things are downsides compare to Japan because these two are different countries, and that's it.

[@TJ_Travels1]

[@olorae]

Oh nice ! Thanks :)

[@cthulhu2478]

You should get an anti-pollution mask. They're quiet bulky (they usually have one or two filter on the sides) but it's really important if you need to go out. You can get them on Amazon or ebay probably. But make sure they're good quality. I work in construction and we use them when it's overly dusty or when we use strong smelling products, they saved my lungs many times !

[@stephanierestlessinseattle5261]

I remember living in L.A. as a kid and we had alerts when we couldnt play outside not sure if thats still a thing?

you will slowly get used with the air quality and maybe even with the spicyness of the food here. i had a hard time in the begining but now i feel more confortable than in my own country.

[@Leenygal]

Thanks Sharla for your honest opinions! I live in L.A. where air pollution can be really bad on some days and virtually nonexistent on others. I’m sure China contributes but newer studies show that South Korea is more responsible for its poor air quality than it might be willing to admit. I love that you’re having a great time in Korea otherwise and am happy to see you ready for new and exciting adventures! You’re beautiful, smart and sharming as always! 😍

It's so much fun hearing about other places! I've lived in Ireland my whole life :( maybe I need a change 😂

Yes, so if you go to Korea and want to try some spicy food then just order a food. it is probably spicy. anything written 'spicy' means that it is spicy to Koreans. And it is quite spicy.

I've been living in Seoul for a month now as well and one of the things that bothers me a lot here is that people will just spit on the street. -.- So gross. I see people doing it where I'm from (the Netherlands) as well sometimes but that's really not socially acceptable there so it's uncommon

[@shannon2748]

Plenty of them spit when they see you the foreigner walking by too...it shows their disdain towards you.

Great to hear you're adjusting fine and and having fun in Seoul! I'm sure you know by now but just in case wanted to add a few things~ 1. Buses are pretty easy to use too if you use an app like KakaoMap or Naver Map. Also a lot of times much quicker as well. Just ask someone to write in Korean your destination and the apps will tell you what bus or train or a combination to take. Also get yourself a credit card that let's you just use trains/buses with just a swipe. 2. Gyms also usually have yoga / Pilates classes if you're into that sorta thing. But those usually cost a lil extra. 3. One thing I miss in Seoul is Ranch dressing. For some reason Korea has everything now but no one sells Ranch dressing =( 4. Those ads on the street... I advise never look too close at em. 90% are for ... let's just say very very seedy most likely non legal establishments.

I feel so validated. This is rediculous, but when I made the move from Korea to Japan, I was looking for comparison videos that I could relate to. Yours is legit the first one that I was nodding the whole way through. When Eatyourkimchi did their video, a part of me died inside because I just felt like I was crazy and couldn't relate to their experience at all. I wrote this on your twitter, but again, your video is so fair and doesn't paint either country in a bad light at all.

[@canond7537]

Kaitlin Mcandrews Eat Your Kimchi summed up: 1. Say misleading information about Korea without bothering to correct it 2. Escape to the country they truly loved the most, making Koreans feel like they were a stepping stone 3. Create videos for Japanese nationalists with fake IDs to relentlessly attack Koreans to validate their departure. I just hope for peace in East Asia.

[@canond7537]

Strange Feathers Chill? I'm just trying to break the entire unjust situation down appropriately. I didn't even curse. If you think this was bad, I should probably warn you about East Asian bantering. 😂

I think it is nice to hear different perspective from different people that may have different way of thinking and perceive things and may have different experiences/different situations and there is nothing bad or misleading in this 😁. Its just an healty thing if people think a bit differently...like when you read a comment about a movie: some people says its a nice movie, some people will say its the most awful movie in their life and about what you yourself think can be found out only by watching that same movie👍

[@kaitlinsimpson6]

I agree! Although I felt a bit misunderstood and couldn't relate with EYK's video, I also learned a lot from their perspective.

[@manu8926]

Kaitlin Mcandrews yeah i liked your comment because you just said that you can simply relate more to sweet Sharla way of perceiving and thinking ❤. I wrote my comment more give a wider/more understanding point of view to people writing or just thinking that the eyk channel said misleading things😂 but fact is just that everyone can think and feel differently and if everyone always feels the same way well..then i would watch one yt channel because the others would just say the exact same things!😂😂

[@TurbonizeR]

Great video. So glad to hear that the cats are getting more used to their new home. Really looking forward to your new Korean adventure :)

[@debrabolton6475]

Your videos are so informative. I have learned a lot about Japanese, and now, Korean life by watching them. Good luck in your new home!

[@SH-wk6po]

Good to see Sharla back on regular programming!! Please be careful while you're living over there. I watched Simon and Martina's video about their friend Rose being run over by a drunk driver, and that appeared to be one of the catalysts of why they decided to leave after 8 years. The image of the air pollution is just so disgusting, but glad to see that the apartment is working out well.

A funny story about garbage on the streets in Japan and Korea. I lived in Japan for a few months and went to visit my friend in Korea. Were both from Sweden and he said the streets are super clean in Korea so I was like "oh it's super clean in Japan as well" and imagined it to be the same. But when I came to Korea it was much dirtier than Japan. It wasn't that dirty but because I had lived in Japan I got shocked and thought it was super dirty.

[@myhappylife6117]

the funny thing is that all foreigners came to Korea saying that the streets are really clean in Korea. some of people even asked how Koreans manage the streets so clean like that.. but only people came from Japan saying that the streets in Korea dirty. so funny.

[@sayachi]

I went to Seoul last week. Thankfully the air is clean when I was there.😂😂 I was just enjoying the cold air and brew coffee. missing Seoul now ㅠ.ㅠ

[@leighmeaghan2930]

Will you do a house tour when everything is unpacked and ready?

[@DjHennessy02]

I don’t care for cursing 🤬 too much but you dropped the F bomb really casually funny like. 7:49. I’m curse myself, it’s hard to stop, trying to stop. I really like this Vlog because you gives you the first impressions of Korea really quickly. 👍 I can’t wait til you update this later to see your thoughts after sometime. Okay, byeeee...

[@jinslipbalm6015]

J-HOOOOOOOOOOOPEEE 13:10 (He's saying "wake up") I'm screaming

[@jinslipbalm6015]

Thanks for the video! It was really interesting 💚 u Sharla

We have to put food waste in a little separate bin too in the UK, but it's a fairly recent thing. Rest of recycling goes in one big bin. Seems a pain at first but it means your bins don't smell :)

[@goblinearthling]

I'm soo nervous about the air pollution tbh so if you learn some tips and tricks on how to protect yourself and survive bad pollution days please update haha. (like if you work A LOT and have no choice but to go out in it)

[@lindafukuyu5767]

24 Hr Fitness Sport Center in America with swimming pool and sauna, etc is $30/month, with corporate discount, you could get $25/month. Now the facility is even better especially with basket ball court, squash, cycling, and aerobic with the Instructor via the big giant screen (the instructor doesn't have to be there physically) and you can choose the type of aerobic and choose your own music as well, isn't that nice?

[@skobedo]

OMG I'm so jealous about the gyms there! That's one of the things I hate about being in Japan is how expensive they are (as well as the no tattoos policy, but that is my choice to have one)

[@chadbarry2739]

My brother taught in korea for years when I visited him I did a quick lay over in Japan a fab experience all the way around love the cast Shar peace from Ontario...go Leafs go the journey begins tonight down with the Bruins.

[@mintghost]

I love Korea! I bought so many clothes there for me and my sisters. Can’t wait to see more of Your adventures. I noticed that the streets had a lot of black like ...dirt on them. My feet turned black because I had sandals on. I loved hearing music on the street too!

[@moochie8296]

mintghost even my city in my country (morocco) have black dirt and its because of polution 😢

[@shannon2748]

This is why I hardly wear sandals on the streets here...I never got a wart on my foot until I moved to Korea. I have tried everything for years and it won't go away. The streets are filthy.

[@graelenhuyck4471]

Sauna sauna sauna!!! Seems like it enhances many peoples workouts to add 5 or 10 minutes to the end. Excited to see more videos!
