    In Korea, tall apartments will have a better things because single houses are typically built one by one by a small company where as tall apartments are built by the giant house companies, kinda the opposite from US.

      Those big cities get expensive. I've always wanted to move to LA, but I could never justify the price of things there. Also a friend of mine lives in chicago and has been rooming with others for a while, due to the high cost.

    I lived in Korea as an English teacher for 2 1/2 years. I loved it over there. I also come from parents that didn’t go to college and came to the US in their late 20’s from Colombia. I didn’t have an example growing up. I returned from Korea in June with my girlfriend. I currently live in Tampa while she gets her master’s. I enjoy your story. I also have a degree in exercise science from UCF. I returned and recently got a job as an exercise physiologist. Everyone has their own paths but our paths are quite similar which is cool to know. I would love to return to Korea someday hopefully do something similar to what you’re doing. You earned a new subscriber!!

    What do you mean these concrete homes only last 30 years? And no, US homes are not built to last “forever” haha

    • @ArielHernandez1
      @ArielHernandez1  4 года назад +5

      Hmm, not sure if that's the case where you live. But the older homes where I'm from, with upkeep, can definitely withstand the test of time. Things do break, things do need to be repaired, but this is obviously a thing with any man-made object. I was told by my realtor that homes are typically built to last 30 years. He was not saying they wouldn't be livable after that, but with the rapid change and development in the Korean economy, you see many homes around or 30 years old completely destroyed, or near barely withstanding the test of time. It's a fast pace developing country and these homes get put up so fast, they aren't fully and completely insulated at times, and they do not put much effort into the finishing touches.

      As I stated previously another commenter. It is not complaining, it is simply stating an opinion. Homes everywhere are crafted differently, and have different finishes, details, and layout. Also, to address your, "Try to be humble" comment. If you think you know someone from one video you watch, you should maybe humble thyself.
      Thanks for the interaction H.S. Lee!
