NY & SK sound a LOT alike when it comes to food 24/7, and getting around, although NY subways can be sketch MOST times. Before you were even born (probably), I lived in Zurich, Switzerland & Buenos Aires, Argentina. I lived outside for almost 3 yrs. And yes, coming back can be a BIG culture shock & makes you look at your own country w/ VERY clear eyes!
@@EmBrown1 I think the two countries are similar in many ways, and like you said, it depends on the areas. I’m sure you had some really fun adventures in those 3 years! And a lot of moments that made you realize the differences between those countries and the US! Glad you had that opportunity ❤️
Very insightful video. I resided in the UK, never lived outside it. I have family in the US, and when I visited New York, it was a huge shock with the tall buildings, enormous amounts of food, as our food in the UK is small, and always leaving tips lol, which I didn't mind. I aim to visit other parts of the States someday and would love to visit a hot country like the Bahamas.
Hey Hunter.... Very nice to see you and loved this video. Never yet been outside the US but my cousin and some friends went on an 11 days African tour vacation. The photos/videos were amazing and beautiful. They said it was abit expensive to fly, but once there very affordable and will be going back next year to a different place. Perhaps you and some family/friends may consider. Looking forward to wherever your next journey takes ya...
@@SGA201 wow! A trip through one of the countries in Africa sounds like a lot of fun. Flights are super expensive but if you’re able, getting out of the country and seeing a new place offers so much perspective to life. If you are interested and have the chance, I hope you can see another part of the world! ❤️
Yup, the south is very different than Seoul with people in the south walking slowly to like a Walmart and driving slow after work on the freeway. There would be no crash on the road, but there would still be traffic because people just cruise in their cars while being on their phones lol. I prefer the fast paced speed from the big city. But the big city is a huge concrete place whereas the south has more nature to it. The social exclusiveness from Seoul compared to the south is night and day too, totally agreeable. But if you’re pretty busy, don’t have a ton of social clubs, and you gotta drive around just to get to places in the south, it can be a similar feeling anyways. And of course, to do some traveling, gotta have a good bag ready or find some discounts somehow to have a good amount of leisure time
I used to live in the English countryside. I think the shock I had most going back to a northeast suburb was the ability to just be out in nature. Walking in footpaths after dinner with nature and not houses and also Roman ruins. I also had a breakdown in an American grocery store because I was so used to shopping at a regular store with affordable health options. And one with like 5 options, not the 50+ at Acme or ShopRite. Ha but I recommend traveling to the Lake District it’s beautiful and there is great hiking with a pub at the foot of the small mountain where you can have a pint and a nice Sunday roast or Sheherd’s pie.
@@ajrt_2118 traveling through the English countryside sounds amazing! I’ve been looking for a reason to get over there. And option paralysis is a real thing! I’m really sorry this happened but I think that experience is very relatable. I’d love some more specifics on the location you visited though!
@ I lived near an area in the northwest called The Lake District. Lake Windimere has some nice places to stay and it’s near the mountains. I was there like 10 years ago, but im sure it’s still just as beautiful. There is also some history about Beatrix Potter who wrote Peter Rabbit. Rene Zellweger was in a movie about her and the area she’s protecting is the Lake District!
I have not lived in another country but I have traveled to other countries. My main culture shock was seeing myself from the vantage point of people who were not American. They saw me as entitled, expecting special treatment and arrogant…while I was simply being ‘myself’….and I was always polite! I am of mixed ethnicity and have always known myself in the USA to be Black or African American (I prefer American of African descent)….but in the countries where I traveled, I was often asked to state my country or “people”….if I hadn’t spoken yet! 🤣 I was shocked by the lack of any rascism….no preconceived stereotypes associated with me based on my phenotype. I was American….but the Black ‘thing’ didn’t seem to exist in the other countries. This was a great video!!
i know before moving back you stated you were unsure if you’d move back or not. now that you’ve been back a few months, have you still considered moving back to korea one day love? if that has even crossed your mind.
I am from the United States Virgin Islands and growing up majorettes and carnival culture it was beautiful and wholesome then where wearing beautiful costumes was aewsome. But now all costumes are feathers and thongs and dutty wineing in the streets. I live in the states the winters are hard but i have that choice of going back to be an island girl all laid back then back to the hustle and bustle of stateside life. Eventually i will return to island life for good. Your vlog was awesome love and light hunter.
