      So my sister-in-law is from Canada, and she told me that most second generation korean don’t speak Han Gul. I find that wild because I don’t really know any Koreans in the states that don’t speak it unless they’re adopted. I think it’s impossible to not learn English if you go to grade school in the states, so it’s best to speak korean at home. Plus the church in the US has become a center for the community, so the culture stays strong.

    I'm full Korean but born and raised in Australia. Over time I've only grown more and more distant from the culture of my family. I can't even see myself as a part of it. I last visited maybe 10 years ago and honestly going back is one of my biggest fears - I feel like I weirdly belong to both cultures but none sometimes. I wish I could be as comfortable in my own skin and identity as Edward here. Sorry for the depresso comment but I've never found an avenue where I felt these feelings of mine were relevant

      @Imokayluv 2 года назад +34

      I hope you don't judge them too harshly, a lot of immigrant parents work day and night and the kids are mostly left to raise themselves in a new country. I grew up in an environment where my mom could be with my bro and me after school and she laid down strict ground rules so that we as children would never forget our culture and she trained us further in how to speak, read, and write in our language. But that in itself is a privilege that a lot of immigrant kids do not have,. and they may have to put in more effort to get in touch with their cultural roots when they're grown. everyone comes from different places in life, it's so easy to look down on someone and think we're superior because of this and that.,, but that is not a good way of thinking...

    really good vlog dude, I usually just watch your shorts but this one ended up on my feed and it's really good. the part where you showed the village was especially pretty cool, with you talking about how back in the day there would be people living there and using those buildings (maybe that's just because I'm a history nerd). either way keep it up you're doing a great job at showing people what your home country looks like and what the culture there is like.
