What's the experience of living in Korea?

After living in Korea for 3 months, I want to come back every day, and every day is a torment. There are no satisfactory places to eat and drink in Lazar!

I am a foodie myself. I have to taste delicious food everywhere, but living with Koreans, the diet is really hard for me to accept.

Other sufferings, one of the few advantages, feel that I didn't really feel very good during my three months in Korea. All aspects of life are uncomfortable, and there is no novelty in a foreign country, only all kinds of unacceptable.

Generally speaking, Korea is not a place suitable for long-term life. Not only is it inconvenient, but the quality of life is really not as good as ours. One is in the sky, and the other is on the ground. There is no comparison. ...

The northern women in Korea mean that Korean men are handsome and Korean women are beautiful. I think people everywhere are the same, ugly and handsome.

South Korea's streets are not too wide, and the community is not too big, but it is relatively clean. They are dressed in general, and there are many simple people. Younger women in life wear a little more makeup than we do. They often eat more pork and fish, not as we said in China, because they can't afford meat. Because they have less land and more people, the prices of agricultural and sideline products are high.

There are few fakes in Korean shops. Older people are very enthusiastic. When they visit their home, they will provide delicious hospitality. Young people are vain and compare with each other. Our country is also like this now.

There are many roadside stalls in Korea, and there is no urban management. They also drank late. Their spare time life is rich and they play freely. Most people can dance, and North Korea is a nation that can sing and dance well. The stupidest thing is that we Han people have no musical cells.

In the evening, they often hold small open-air concerts. The spotlight fell on the actor who was singing. The audience sat around, eating snacks and watching the performance.

Before marriage, Korean men were very kind to women. After marriage, almost all housework was done by women. Koreans think this is normal. I have seen Korean women raising two children at home alone, the older is two and a half years old and the younger is eight months old. When my husband comes home from work, he always complains that she doesn't cook well and clean well, and she doesn't know how to help his wife.

My relatives in China, who have lived in Korea for more than 30 years, have also subtly accepted this quality of Koreans. Every time I go to my son's house, whenever I see a mop and an electric sweeper, I throw it out in front of my daughter-in-law. She asked her daughter-in-law to kneel down and wipe the floor with a rag, saying that it would be clean.

Girls who want to marry South Korea's Ouba, wake up, unless you have a mine at home, life will be hard.

Everything is fine, except that it is too difficult to find a smoking place outdoors. I am a heavy smoker.

If you go to work, no black boss depends on your salary. House prices are second-tier in China. The absolute price is higher than that in China, and the relative price is lower than that in China. It is absolutely a rumor that they can't afford beef. Except Korean beef, other imported beef like Australia and New Zealand are not expensive, which ensures less pressure and higher income than buying beef at home.

The social order is excellent, it is difficult to hear the horn, the bank window is not separated from you by thick glass, and the whole society does not accept red envelopes. They don't know what red envelopes are. They have a good sense of service, and they have a good attitude and efficiency in shopping, seeing a doctor and doing things. When you are not at leisure, there are many small parking lots, the parking pressure is less than that in China, and there are fewer roadside parking lots. Tickets sold in tourist attractions are not many and cheap. Generally, you don't bargain when you buy things in Korea, but you can politely ask if you can discount them only once. It is impolite to talk too much, but there is not much room for concession. They are all actively discounted.

Koreans are hardworking and capable, and they are not lazy in their work. Most people still look for jobs after retirement, even if they are rich. Taxi drivers are all retired people.

In addition, Korean men are very good-looking, with few generals' bellies, straight bodies, women in general, big faces and many plates.

Koreans wear simple clothes and have never seen strange clothes, but they are very neat. Women dress appropriately and conservatively, and rarely expose themselves, except in some places, where they bake their hair.

South Korea's urban construction facilities have general hardware, similar to domestic second-tier facilities, few high-rise buildings and wide roads, but their advantages are high speed, good order and soft environment, which needs to be improved in China.

It's a bit messy to say something east and say something west, and think of it wherever you say it.

Cultural differences are inevitable. Koreans are polite, obey all kinds of rules, such as traffic rules, queue up, care for public facilities, and don't make noise in public places. South Korea's streets are clean and garbage sorting is well done. Korea is a sparrow, although small and complete, with convenient life. Koreans will feel very high when they play, while China people will look rather dull on that occasion. Food and drink in Korea are more expensive, and living while working is ok. If you don't work, life is very stressful. Korea is suitable for young people. Many old people in Korea are still working. Pick up waste paper boxes and so on. Korea is capitalism, and only work can make money. Value personal ability, don't talk about relationships.

I went to Korea for the first time in the 1990s, and I did two things quickly after returning home-(1) I found a restaurant to make up a meal of meat (2).

I went to the hospital and cut my asshole. Eating that unlucky pickle made my hemorrhoids hot. It's not worth it.

Pickles can't afford smecta.

After three years of school life in Korea, I have some feelings.

New features:

Korea is so small!

This small country is not only small, but also its houses, squares, shopping malls, and even its housing structure, streets and facilities give people a compact feeling. So obviously the house is not small, it looks like it is lost.

There is a black market for currency exchange!

In Myeongdong, Seoul, near Dongdaemun, there are many foreign currency exchange windows, which is the so-called "black market". These windows look irregular, and some are even hard to find. Unfamiliar people have no idea where they are. I didn't study their origin, only remember that they could exchange foreign currency for more won. Just like bargaining, shop around, whoever buys more will find someone to change.

Old people drive taxis!

In South Korea, I often meet "early westerners" who drive taxis. Most of them have retired for many years, and some of them are over 60 years old when they look at their work cards! It's strange to still go out and run around the taxi line. Some Korean friends have also explained that this is also related to South Korea's "poll tax", and the young and middle-aged people are under greater pressure, forcing the older generation to go out again …

The road cars in the city are fast!

If I remember correctly, the speed limit of roads in downtown Korea is 60-80, and the bus passes by you, feeling like it's going to be taken away …

Cosmetic shops are everywhere!

Needless to say, everyone who has been there knows.

Two years later:

Christian country!

Maybe you don't believe it, more than 90% people in Korea believe in Christ! There are also many Christian schools.

Group building activities (MT) are like playing house!

The school club or the department holds a group building, and the game is really childlike haha! Pass onion rings, grab seats ... It looks awkward.

No mutton!

This is not unique to Korea, but if you want to eat mutton soup and kebabs in Korea, you need to go to a place with a lot of people in China. In the north, it is recommended to go to Ancheng. You can smell the familiar smell when you get off the subway! By the way, Korean Zhajiang Noodles is often called Chinese cuisine in Korea. Besides, the rest of the Chinese food is extremely expensive.

Tips for working are more than wages!

Korea is a country that likes to tip. The school also has a special department to recommend places for odd jobs to students. If you are in the service industry, especially in restaurants, remember to tip.

Ask the age first when new people know each other!

This is their "tradition" … in order to decide what style to use when talking to each other … even good friends are no exception!

"Adult culture" can be seen everywhere!

Some parts of South Korea allow "adult service industry". And in any hotel, there will be a 24-hour "adult channel". And if you find that you are husband and wife or lovers when you check into the hotel, you will be given an extra adult bag, so I won't go into details.

Fried chicken beer is not a feature!

Food is a feature. In Korea, fried chicken beer barbecue is not a special feature. For example, sobering soup (spicy ribs soup), fish cake soup (packed car), miso soup, ginseng chicken soup, cold noodles, bibimbap, seafood tofu soup, Chunchuan iron plate chicken and so on. It's all local food. But to be honest, compared with China, there are very few kinds …

Domestic beef is more expensive than imported beef!

Not only expensive, but also ridiculously expensive.

Hot pot is a set meal, barbecue is a buffet!

Most of the hot pots are "sharp" or "army hot pots", all in the form of fixed packages. There are many self-service barbecue restaurants, about 1 10,000 won (at that time, about RMB in 70 yuan), all of which are free except wine. I don't know what's going on now. Anyway, at that time, students from other countries were afraid to touch the buffet barbecue restaurant except Korea and Japan, hahaha.

Watermelon's return rate is higher than LV bag!

If you carry a LV bag on the street, no one may look at you. But if you want to carry one or even two complete watermelons, the speed of turning your head is absolutely outrageous.

Love doughnuts for dessert!

I don't know why. But donut shops can be found everywhere, just as baking shops can be found everywhere in China.

Drink like a gourd!

I won't talk about their own wine. They like to buy people drinks. It feels great to have one drink at a time! In return, I brought two bottles of beef for the second time, and then …

The above is just part of my personal experience. In fact, there are still many, but the introduction is really incomplete. Interested parties can experience it for themselves!

I feel that Korean men are basically useless. Why can't they even cook? I still think this is an advantage. South Korean troops, you see, are all children. Once such soldiers really go to war, it is estimated that half of them will flee and the other half will surrender. Korean women also have their own characteristics. It's popular not to get married now (but they can't afford to get married). Those who get married cook at home and take care of their children. After cleaning up the housework, they go out to coffee shops for a few hours during the day, and some go shopping to squander their husbands' hard-earned wages. Once a person is fired and unemployed, his nose is not his face but his face. Many Korean women filed for divorce immediately after her husband went bankrupt.

I live in Korea for half a year every year. Some of what you said is true, others are false, and the prices are equal to each other. The price is indeed more expensive than that in China, but the price and salary are symmetrical. If you work and live in Korea, you don't think the price is too high. I feel the price is too high because I don't work. According to the calculation of one year, their living expenses should be at least RMB 654.38+million, and they are ordinary living expenses. Besides, consumption varies from place to place in Korea.

Not human feelings.
