		<description>o.o I would say that most asian countries are like that T_T I guess some people get influenced with the behavior in their environment for a while and they don&#039;t realise they&#039;re being rude cause its normal for them. Taking a vacation in China has definitely changed me, I now have to walk across a street without caring that there&#039;s a car coming by -.- Also why the heck are there fugly men on their fugly motorcycles that honk whenever theres a good-looking woman passing by T_T  they just stall there and theres heaps of them at one place (woah im getting out of topic o.o)</description>

		<description>Everything about Korea depends on person to person as in other countries as well.
I&#039;m 26 years old, a guy, well educated, have been living in Denmark for more than one year and have work experience in companies in Seoul and Copenhagen.

-Dog
I eat dog. But it&#039;s really rare. I have only less than 5 experiences of eating dog. It means I don&#039;t care, but it&#039;s not common food any more. Some of my friends don&#039;t eat, but some do. Still those friends of mine who eat dog don&#039;t eat dog usually.

-Kimchi
If possible, I of course want kimch to be on a table unless the food is western style food or something like that. I have never bought kimchi in Denmark while living here for 1.5 years. I can survive without kimchi, but desire it.

-Holding a door
It&#039;s not rude not to hold a door in Korea. Just one of cultural differences. It also varies in western countries as well.

-tae kwon do
They usually don&#039;t really know how to do it. I learned only basics at an elementary school. Others as well perhaps.

-work
People in Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, US ... work a lot unlike Denmark. Don&#039;t discuss workload differences between Korea and US. :) 

-bumping
Koreans don&#039;t mind bumping into each others in a shop, on a street , etc. One of cultural differences. Who cares in Korea?</description>

		<description>koreans who lived in korea all their lives are rude, like really rude
like for example,our family friend is an english tutor there, her female employer is not friendly saying their relationship is just for studying eng. and she casts our family friend bad looks whenever she wants to chit chat
koreans i know who have gone to other countries are alright, still not friendly but bearable</description>

		<description>as a korean girl who are reading this,
i have to say that i got quite upset while reading that
foriegners teaching english here get paid quite well
i never knew that

i used to go to english hakwon
and there were plenty of english teachers from england,austrailia,united states..etc
and what i concluded is they dont teach english AT ALL
they just try to play games during class
or show us a movie or joking all along 
 kind of like that

i got really bad impressions from them and now i knew that they got paid well!!
whoa
but there&#039;s news for forigners living in korea
goverment has recently passed a law
that they will fire some english teachers here because of the job problem
as far as i remember .,like 40 percent of them will get fired


it&#039;s like good news for me who really hates lazy forigners here who dont do any thing but make some money

and there are some things that i like to fix about what you wrote

korean girls do like white guys in general!
and they would love to date you AS FAR AS you r goodlooking
i think its just a matter of who you are
NOT your nationality
but therers a BIG problem and that is ,in my case, there is no one except me
who can speak english i mean at least who can have some basic conversation in english
so the biggest problem is language i guess
 
and what i found here is that the point of asthetic beauty seems kinda different from what we think and what westerners think

korean girls generally dont like musclar body
i guess they like thin skinny bodied guy who has white skin and blonde hair
and it&#039;s even more awesome if you have blue eyes 
like european kind of a guy
they wont like tanned skin guy like taylor laugtner

and about the culture thing
in my opinion ,now here is very westernized and so many things have changed since 1980
so i dont find really any big difference between american culture like pop music or tv program from here 
and girls here are NEVER submissive
i really hope you guys know this fact before you come here 

and FYI
british or austrailian are  less likely to be hired here compared to americans or canadian
because we prefer north american accent 
and it&#039;s sad thing but this applied to black too
there are some stereotypes about them among middle aged people
not young koreans but they are the employers..

anyways....... you kinda seem like understand korean culture quite well
this was interesting article for me</description>

		<description>erm... i don&#039;t really think western people are THAT well mannered either. well of course some people are very nice but i think the way you are explaining korean people are more rude since you yourself (i think) don&#039;t know them well. you know what I&#039;m not saying all koreans are good but if there is good there is also bad, it also applies for every country and you have NO RIGHT to say ANYTHING about ANY country! UNDERSTAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :evil:  :evil:  :evil:  :evil:  :evil:</description>

		<description>No offense to the Koreans defending their country that kinda talked shit to do so, aren\&#039;t you kinda justifying that being rude is more common in the Korean race? Hint, hint.

But to the Koreans defending their side by talking properly and explaining, thanks a bunch for your input. :) You\&#039;ve given a great insight.</description>
