      I lived most of my life in Korea, but several years ago, I visited Germany without any company. I once left my phone in one of the toilets in a large train station. Luckily, a young man found that and returned it to me. There were several other occasions that I left my stuff but locals were kind enough to give it back to me even after several hours. Of course I might be just lucky, but I think we all are good and kind people, and want to believe that we Koreans are not that special. Someday we may be able to walk any corner of the Earth and still fully trust any stranger we meet.

    The big focus on appearance obviously has good sides and bad sides, but one aspect I absolutely love about it is all the amazing Korean skincare! They really care about the ingredients and formula being good for the skin. A lot of k-beauty products don't really include denatured alcohol, sulfates, parabens, silicones and unnecessary fragrance like a lot of western brands do (not all of them of course). Most of my skincare products are Korean and it feels like a dream to use them!

Almost all foreigners don't even keep this basic fact. I have only seen one foreigner who truly understands Korea in all my life. So I recommend foreigners not to come to Korea. This is unfortunate for both sides. The culture here is so different that you'll never accept it. And foreigners, don't say wrong prejudices about Korea. For example, suicide rates or plastic surgery are not true. Koreans don't like foreigners because of all these misunderstandings

Why do foreigners hide their shortcomings and only highlight Korea's shortcomings? It is not Koreans but foreigners who cause problems here. I have never heard the news that a foreigner was attacked in Korea, but I have heard the news that a Korean was attacked in a foreign country thousands more times. Korea is rather too generous to foreigners. Do you think we don't know that you foreigners always ignore, gossip, and antagonize Korea with wrong prejudice? Don't bother us, just get out of here

    As a Korean born American living half of my life in Korea and other half in the States, this is really interesting and pretty accurate! Born and raised in Korea and moving to America has broaden my eyes very much. I can tell you with confidence that if I were kept living in Korea I would have been more conservative and introverted. One thing I didnt like about living in Korea was that there was no much of individual characteristics. People all wear what others wear and do whatever others do. But coming here in the States I learned more about myself, what I like and what I really want. As you said I would not say its either good or bad thing but I do think that its definitely good for you experience both and find the balance.

    The quiet on public transport sounds like absolute bliss! One of the things which annoys me faster than anything is when I'm trying to listen to music or just sit quietly and there always seems to be at least one person having a loud conversation either on the phone or in real life! I have amazing noise-cancelling headphones and even then it cuts through sometimes :/

    i am an exchange student in seoul, staying here for one semester and i want to comment on the quiet culture. so far everywhere i'd been in seoul, there was the quiet and respectful culture in public places, cafes, buses, shops, metros... then i went on a one week bicycle journy to busan, and oh are they loud in the countryside. the quiet culture is much less present in the villages. i took online classes in cafes whilst on the road and the customers in the cafes were so loud i could barely hear my lectures. just an example that i think is very valuable to share.
