    Why is no one talking about how good this reporter is. He never interrupted once, he is respectful, and is committed to letting the voice of the interviewees go out with being stopped or paused. If you examine closely, the people could go on and talk on, and this man wouldn't interrupt once. Kudos to him

    I studied in Seoul last year and I realized how little I know of the world living in the US. I’m Hispanic and my culture is all I’ve known that when I went abroad, I began to crave more experiences that I’d not expect. I do want to go back and teaching English there is a quick option and it has stereotypes but I truly want to be a source of help to students and as well learn more about Korea and about myself. Yes I like kpop, but that is not why I’m going. If anything while I was there as a student, I was more drawn to the fast paced city life and small cultural differences than the entertainment life itself.

      ​@@PhDShelbyAdventures I disagree. My experience with learning a language that few outsiders speak:
      If you ask for a coffee in fluid grammatical English, some people will be frustrated that you're assuming they speak English.
      If you ask for a coffee like in the video, some people will find you patronising.
      If you ask for a coffee with a bad attempt the native language, some people will wish you'd just asked in English, or seen your white face and assumed you're not trying to speak the native language. Some people will be frustrated you're using them to practice the language.
      As a traveller, some people are just going to dislike you. The key is to ignore it and transmit information in the least ambiguous way. As a native, if you want tourists to contribute to your economy, you're just going to have to adapt to basic handsigns.

    Countries in Asia will pay twice or even triple the average salary for an American teacher.

A lot of international schools in Asia will even cover the cost of the teacher's travel expenses and arrange a home for them to live in when they arrive, so it's very convenient.

      A friend of mine has lived both in Seoul & outside of Seoul for multiple years. She prefers the country. Said people in Seoul were more distant. They assumed all foreigners are there temporarily and avoided developing close friendships her. However, she immediately reported that living in the country is way more inviting and warm. She has friends who are like family to her there now.
      I will say she started learning Korean years before she moved there, so communicating in Korean was never an issue for her. If you are able to get over the language hurdle and find a supportive community, living abroad becomes easier. Same experience for a friend in Fukuoka, Japan. Learning Japanese and building a community of lasting friendships made that area more comfortable to her than the U.S.
