  • First Time in Seoul Korea? Expect This.
    Living in Korea for 13 years has taught me a lot about life here and it sort of makes me an expert on life in Korea as a foreigner. Many foreigners from the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and other countries are moving to Seoul or want to move to Seoul to start a new life due to the Korean Wave or various interests in South Korea.
    Have you ever traveled to Korea or thought about moving to South Korea? What are some things you think you would need to prepare for your stay in Korea? Do you think life in Korea would be difficult living here alone? If you are thinking of moving to Korea, here are a few tips you can use to help you during your stay here.

    I believe that learning and understanding Korean even at a beginners level will help you overcome 90% of the difficulties internationals face. Koreas will be more willing to help you if you need it. It makes ordering at restaurants a whole lot easier. It makes shopping a whole lot easier. Etc, etc. Its one thing if you are just visiting for a week but another of you are staying long-term. Too many people don't understand that Koreans will be a lot more friendly if you can communicate with them in their language. Instead they just blame it on racism and accuse the whole country of it without a second thought. Like any country, Korea is what you make of it.❤

      Agreed. I conducted a little experiment last week. I went into a store and immediately began speaking English. The attendant was so flustered that she couldn't respond at all, not even rudimentary English. I switched to Korean after I saw her reaction and you could see all the stress melt away from her. Amd she smiled! Learning basic Korean can go a long way, as you so eloquently stated:)

    Wow, when you mention Wons I can’t comprehend the amounts… thousands… Wow definitely. I like how all signs are in Korean. Wish it was all Mongolian in Mongolia… but I guess it helps tourists it’s in English…

    Even in Australia, which everyone speaks Australian English… I felt lonely and had to enjoy learning to be alone now at another level. ❤ at the same time I like that you are choosing your path. 💜 keep up the good videos 🎉

      Learning to be alone can be scary, especially when everyone around you is constantly meeting or hanging out in groups...sometimes, we don't need to hangout with everyone...it's my opinion. Thanks for saying it's okay for me to follow my own path! I think you are doing well too following your path:)

    You mentioned not having luck finding a partner in Korea. Do you think your ethnicity is playing a role?

    • @francoismarc3
      @francoismarc3  5 місяців тому

      It definitely plays a part. Koreans don't really date foreigners, but among the ones who do, most go for white guys or gals. That's not to say I haven't dated my fair share of women here, but when it comes to long-term relationships or marriage, from my experience, the overwhelming majority of Korean choose white partners. Not to mention the family not accepting me due to my ethnicity. Good question.
