Hello! My name is Josh. I've been traveling the world for the last 4 years. My love for immersing myself into different cultures, gazing at breath taking views, meeting new people, heart racing sports, and tasting all the great food out there has brought me here. I've shared the beginning of my journey with my friends on social media and now I want to share it with you. Welcome to Derringtravel!
Naomi's Dongdaemun Loft Apartment
I just want to thank my friend for showing me her apartment. The past month has been very chaotic for here. Looking for a new apartment, finding a new school, and finally moving. The end of July to the beginning of August has been stressful, but I knew she would pull through. This is my friends new loft apartment in Dongdaemun for the low price of $748. This does not include internet, water, gas, and electricity. In a future video I plan on going over home expenses.

Just move out.... lmao
I'm not saying it wasn't because you're black, because I've seen how racist Korean people can be, but I would like to share my experience in Korea. I'm a large (6'1", 350 lbs) white guy, and I got a lot of the same comments about appearing angry, kids being scared of me, and Korean staff members being scared of me. Korean culture is one that encourages submission to authority and punishes too much independence and confidence, so a large foreign man speaking confidently and authoritatively can be intimidating to them regardless of skin color.
I'll be back in Korea soon for a few months and OMG everything you said was exactly how I felt in May when I was in Korea! Idk about everybody else but I want Black friends and community in Korea when I'm there lol (it made me sad when I would try to be in community with Black people I met and they wouldn't even return the nod 😭)
@@theroamingbookworm it’s sad. Now, I keep my circle small in Korea because for some reason foreigners just act funny. There is a guy who made a whole tik tok about foriengers
at least as an african american you don't have to worry about police killing you or being arrested for fitting the profile of being black
That is called ignorance, homogenous societies are primitive to a degree. You do not grow that way
I've been looking for black male teachers besides people being interviewed. Thank you so much for this information. I'll be definitely going through more of your videos.
My hagwon is looking for a teacher to start in mid September. It’s a really nice school. We are actually looking for a male teacher so if you’re interested lmk
That’s a sick apartment, way better than my current one. What academy did you apply through?
@@sebastianhernandez491 oh this apartment is almost 3 years old. I’ve moved 3 more times after this. One of my most recent videos shows my new apartment. I wish I could saw what school I was at. Due to Korean defamation laws I can’t.
Actually, this kind of thing is one of the biggest pitfalls of working at a hagwon. Misperceptions, biases and miscommunication, seem to be at the heart of the business model! I had a good experience, followed by bad ones. I worked for over 2 years at a large kinder-elementary in Dongtan. I got to know the kids. They liked me. I got to know the curriculum very well. The director wanted me to stay for a third year, but the owner said no. The next job was at a hagwon that taught essay-writing to elementary and middle school kids. However, their kids were mostly 8-10 in Korean years. I am known for being superb at correcting essays. I got a warning letter for crossing out something in an essay. That job lasted 3 weeks. The next job was very different. The boss was nice. But I was to teach tiny kids in diapers. That job lasted 4 months because a new boss appeared, and wanted CHANGE!
Great video thanks for this information.
@@AlleshaDavis thank you. I’m happy to help. Subscribe if you can. 👍🏾
Nice place! I used to live in that same area!
@@Joshis I love this area. Not too crowded, many places to shop, eat, and good amount of activities nearby.
Pattaya ?? The boat ride looks very uncomfortable, and the guy singing was very entertaining. LOL The dinosaurs were the best.
@@almettat5692 Nongnooch is stunning. I highly recommend everyone go there. The floating market I feel like can be skipped but if you really want to do it, skip the river tour. Very over hyped
It’s because you a black man. That’s why. Which you already know. Just like yt people be scared of any black man in America, those that have never been exposed to the real world in their little bubble. Over there I can imagine even worse
I was in a black women only group chat a few years ago. I had to leave because they were xenophobic and Islamophobic. They thought my name was fake and kept bullying me for months about it. When I left and told the admins my side of the story, they didn’t care at ALL. Completely took the bullies side and said it was best to leave so I didn’t cause any more problems..
Lots of communications problems with the Korean teachers
Actually, this is a big problem. The amount of miscommunication that goes on is very high.
😅so true. luckily, I am an "old" teacher at 58, 15 years in 🇰🇷 Korea, and counting. My KTs listen to my "direct statements," and I get what I want. 😅 The less time my KTs spend in the classroom, the better the class flows.
12:31 "so let's provide a solution to this, it's really simple, we are going to say this: Where are you from?" Amazing!!!!! 👏👏👏👏 Loved the video!!!!
Not just in Korea, it's prevalent here in the States as well. I'll never be fully accepted in a Korean community. That's my experience. But I've come to learn Be Yourself. Great video.
did you do all this, when you were in korea? unfortunately, theres no u.s. embassy in los angele
@@johnha6531 wow! I’m surprised to hear that and yes, I did all of this while in Korea.
For those going to Ocean World, I'd like to recommend hopping across the street before heading home. There's a great underground plaza loaded with restaurants, amusement park rides (if you have children), and other things to see and do.
Can you tell us the difference between African from black? Us it really offensive to address you as African
What's the difference between Koreans and Japanese people? Obviously they are different ethnicities. Black Americans and Africans are different ethnicities. If you don't know then you can ask.
What the f? They are same ethnicities. Being american is not even a race 💀💀💀
@@Geniuscat44 Black Americans and Africans aren't the same ethnicities. What are you talking about?
@@Geniuscat44 They aren't the same ethnicities.
What is kirewnboo, boss boo? Can you tell me cos im not an English native speakers
The root of the problem is that Korean history is revised on the West. That *allows* foreigners to manipulate narratives about Korea to cater to their insecurities.
@@purplerainbow1995 If you say so, but I’m sure you are aware of a word called Gapjil 갑질. You can play dumb. Something else I’ve noticed “some” Koreans love doing. “Narrative” 😂 I’m sharing my experience not some story in some story in a history book. I would like to point out, I’m talking about hagwons. Never did I say anything about any other company in Korea.

I now want to try some of that kfc lol. Looked like a nice vacation.
I lived in Korea before, your points resonate with me a lot. I think of out of Japan, China and Korea which I have all lived in, Korea was socially the most difficult and isolated place of the three to be in regarding my interactions with other foreigners(mostly white people) and native Koreans.
@@kozmickwe477 it’s (mostly white people) for me 😂😂 but it’s so strange how making friends in Korea is so hard. Check out this TikTok vt.tiktok.com/ZSY3XAuYA/
It's interesting and so awesome you've lived in all three countries! Actually, I am considering Japan and China as well as Korea for myself. I've already experienced life in Korea and know lots. I was wondering if it was possible for you to explain the difference between the three in your experience, especially when it comes to socialising and making friends and 'feeling accepted'? I am really curious and want to understand what it is like in each country / culture as I hope to make an informed decision as a college student planning (at least) a year abroad.
Love this apartment!

Lovely apartment.
Everything you said was about foreigners and that woman who made the comment "Shucking and Jiving ), is racist. She ain't slick.She has no class.Thanks for the heads up.
Thanks for the video! You come across as a very gentle and respectful man, so it must have been prejudice and fear. You tried to be nice to her and she did not appreciate it. Her loss. I'm glad that you have another position and I wish you well and that you got your ring back. Best of luck to you.
@@amb7412 thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
@@derringtravel3278 You're welcome!
I have a friend from the USA who used to be a teacher in South Korea. She was a very scary person. Despite being from the USA, she hated Americans and assumed that Americans were sleeping around with Korean men. She talked badly about foreigners in South Korea and did not allow me to talk with any American friends who were teaching in South Korea at that time. I still don’t understand why.
With some people there’s nothing to understand.
I wouldn’t assume all Americans are sleeping around with Koreans. That’s a HUGE assumption. However, I think there is a problem when it comes to foreigners socializing and creating bonds between each other. I recognize everyone has their own reasons for coming, but some of the behaviors I’ve observed are appalling.
what do you think about officetels compared to a 1 bed
@@gametri-eq6ljas long as i have space, I like officetels, however, I much prefer 1 bedroom apts because my bedroom and kitchen are separate. I like having a door that I can close if that makes sense. lol
ever tried the honey butter chips those are good
@@gametri-eq6lj yes. They are so good. HBAF has honey butter almonds. The best flavor
It's a shame the foreign community can be so toxic and I often wonder why it's that way. Most of the foreigners I've met here are insecure and competitive to the point that hearing things like "my co-teachers told me they hated the teacher who was here before me" is a regular occurrence. Like, they'll say it with a hint of relief in their voice like they're happy their new Korean colleagues are bad-mouthing the previous teacher because somehow it takes the pressure off them? I've sat through a lot of not-very-nice conversations where teachers will just sit there and bitch about other teachers, often people they've never even met which is wild to me. Another thing I've seen a lot is teachers being needlessly competitive. I work in public school so there's usually only one foreign teacher per school and yet foreign teachers will meet up outside of work and bang on endlessly about what they did in their classes but the vibe always seems very negative and like people are trying to outdo each other. It's exhausting. All I can think is that maybe it stems from the slight myth (depends on your experiences and perspective I guess) that Korean teachers don't respect us and think we're under qualified. I do understand it to some extent, especially with jobs and visas being tied together so that people feel pressure to reinvent the wheel and be the world's best teacher because they think that if they're not they'll get fired. Personally, I have to try really hard to not get sucked into conversations about previous teachers and the work competitiveness because in the past when I've spent time with people and it's been hours and hours of that talk I'd always come away from the situation feeling drained and feeling bad about myself. It seems like the foreign community don't have much compassion for each other sometimes. Also, I had a really weird experience about two years ago, where I was going to a new school and the previous teacher was at the bus stop but said she couldn't remember which bus it was I had to get there. No worries, she got on her bus and I went and spoke to a bus driver...turns out he was the bus driver for the bus she was on and I could also get that bus, so he gets on and then I start to get on the bus. The teacher is sat right at the front and as I'm walking up the steps she grabs my arm to stop me, turns to the driver and starts speaking to him in Korean. The only conversation I've ever had with this woman was five minutes ago when she told me she couldn't remember the bus number, so I was caught off guard by her over familiarity. It was so unbelievably rude I just stood there dumbfounded and the driver looked confused because I'd already spoken to him. Basically, for some reason she had assumed that I didn't speak any Korean and that I needed her help, so without any prompting from me whatsoever she jumped in. In my opinion, when it comes to speaking Korean, just leave other foreigners alone. If someone asks for your help then help them if you can but don't take it upon yourself to get into other people's business. All that woman did was complicate and confuse the situation through her arrogant assumption that I don't speak the language. Sometimes foreigners can be quite aggressive about the language issue and I get that people have strong opinions about it but actually inserting yourself into a situation seems a bit much, especially when you haven't been asked to help. The condescension was breath-taking and, again, I can only surmise that it comes from either insecurity or competitiveness. It's like it's not enough for people to be personally proud of their own achievements, they need the rest of the community to know what they did in class or how much Korean they speak etc etc. I have met people here who are really nice and that I've kept in touch with for years after they've left though and generally those people seemed content with who they are as people, more positive, happy to encourage others etc so they were easier to get along with. Maybe people are more insecure nowadays? Who knows, but it's great when you find someone who's worth hanging onto. ^^

There are some great foreigners here. You gotta get outside of the Hagwon community. All my Foreign friends work for Universities, Korean companies and some work on Military bases. They usually have a more long-term mindset and are well-adjusted. However they still dont have many Korean friends, despite establishing themselves here.
@@ashantilematthew6277 it would be awesome to converse with people from Universities, Korean companies, or the military base, but everyone runs in different circles. There aren’t many social gatherings to meet other people and when there are, the turn out is very dismal.
It's human nature to want to feel accepted. The question should be "why would you want to live anywhere and not want to be accepted?"
@@ashantilematthew6277 as a black man, im BARELY accepted in my own country. In the U.S, I’m tolerated. The nuisances surrounding African Americans and our presences within any country is so layered, being around people who don’t like or don’t accepted me doesn’t bother me because teaching is not a career choice. It’s for me to have a place to lay my head and put food in my mouth until I become more established to go where I want when I want.
About acceptance.. I’ve lived in 8 different countries in my life and never was fully accepted by locals. Even in the neighbouring country with the pretty similar culture… locals can be very respectful to you, maybe even friendly but on a serious matter, you remain “foreigner” no matter how hard you try to assimilate. Unless you live there since the childhood, don’t have any accent and look like them 🤷🏻♀️
This is going to be true, almost anywhere you go, but Korea is another level. I honestly thought all of Asia was like Korea until I spent substantial time in other Asian countries. Even China was more warm and inviting. I remember hearing Vietnamese people saying to me that "when you are here, you are one of us." Several years in Korea, and I have experienced and observed a large difference from here and other countries. You meet people who have been here over ten years, speak the language, try to get involved in the community, and they still get overtly treated as an outsider. I know people who have become citizens here and still get called foreigners. Its like they go out of their way to make sure you know "you are not from here".
