How long does it take? What is it? And how much do you have to pay? I'm in Korea now. Any information will be appreciated.

I am going next January to Korea and I am curious as to what the s. korean people think of us american soldiers. It would be useful to know what to expect from them. Plus any tips in terms of culture, people, habbits and warnings about them would be great.

I have read about the country already but I have found from previous experiences in other countries that you cant trust most of what you read on the internet cause it's either sugar coated or exagerated to put across a point of view. So previous experiences on the area are of more value to me.

Does anyone know of a good website to study Korean? I have used the one from Sogang University and it's alright, but I am looking for a change. I hear Seoul National University has a website available, but I don't know the link. Also if you can recommend any other websites to study Korean that would be great.

Thanks

Yesterday my heating was off. In all of the Korean's room, the heaters are on. Is this just me, or do you all have the same problem? Does anyone have a good strategy of making a formal complaint, so that it may be turned back on? They said they don't know when it will be turned back on, it could be months. I have human rights. Are these people mental?

Well about a year ago, i started talking to a korean girl online. Soon enough, we started liking each other alot, and we started an online relationship. we sent gifts back and forth and we wanted to meet. well, we didnt have the means to do this really, since we lived on the opposite side of the world (i live in the u.s.) but ...

i got the idea to go to korea on my school's foreign exchange program. i had to work really hard to get the visa, money, passport, application, etc. to do all of this. i was supposed to leave in a couple months from now. i got worried sometimes during our relationship but she assured me that i can trust in her love, and that she couldnt wait to meet me in real life...

well, as of yesterday, i was talking to her on msn, and she just told me that she didnt love me anymore. i asked her why and she said she didnt know. and then i told her about how hard i had to work in order to do this, and she just said 'sorry'. nothing else....

Not only that! Korean men actually fear that White men will actually date their own women.

I've been blocked here on Y/A Korea, and have been unfairly flagged as well by someone who doesn't like my answers. The last one I gave was a simple statement that kimchee is an acquired taste. Gastromically, I said, Korea is Asia's Germany, as in Europe. I was emailed that my reply was offensive (?) and then blocked.

Is this a closed forum then? Am I supposed to come here ONLY if I agree with everyone? Heck, I DID agree -- I said it was an acquired taste. How would I know if I HADN'T ACQUIRED THE TASTE????

Are all the people like that here? Is this how Koreans and people who like Koreans are? To cowardly flag someone, to block someone, and to email someone and not give the chance for a reply? Is that how you are? Is it any wonder, then, why I might be skeptical?

Okay, I won't comment here on this forum any more. Fine. But if this is how you are then you ARE a pretty nasty people.

I know they have them in bigger cities where there is a Korean population; how do you think they would go over in a town of 10-20 thousand people where there is no exposure to Korean culture?
Many bars have karaoke, but people usually get up and sing only one song. I am talking about full Korean style. You, some friends, some booze, a few thousand songs, and a private singing room.

What year did you first come? How long have you been here this time?

I am not looking for people that were born here or came as a result of a parent's decision, unless that led you to coming back on your own. I am curious about people that as an adult made a conscious decision to make Korea their destination.

Obviously, if you have never been to Korea this question is not for you.

1) You can pick up a single strand of noodles with chopsticks.
2) Your back is sore from bowing.
3) You can eat barefooted at a restaurant with a foot in your lap.
4) You can fall asleep on the city bus or subway and wake up at your stop.
5) You can make a left turn looking only to the right.
6) People ask if you want to go by car and you respond, "No, I'm in a hurry."
7) You wear white socks with a dark suit.
8) You can use a public bathroom for both genders and think nothing of it.
9) You'd rather sit on the floor than in a chair.
10) You select shoes based on how easily you can get them on and off.

Agree or disagree? Anything else to add to the list?

Although I didn't mean in all aspects that the Koreans are trying to become like the Japanese. I mean there are some aspects of the Korean society that are emulating the Japanese culture.

The world knows that South Korea is the online gaming capital of the world. But if you'll look at their online games, almost all of them follow Japanese Anime style art. Also, Korean Anime has already appeared and we all know that Anime is from the Japanese. And to my surprise I've seen some Korean restaurants here in the Philippines which serve, as the restaurants themselves call it, "Korean Sushi".

So what does this all mean? Do they really hate the Japanese or not?

I've heard that the Korean's grudge against Japan is still somewhat present. Now I'm curious if famous Korean artists who've made a name in Japan, like BoA Kwon and Go Younha, received negative reactions from their homeland because of their choice to make a career in Japan.

Additionally, I've read that Younha's back in Korea and I'm also curious if she was recepted well.

When you become used to speaking a language, you hardly think about it any longer, but sometimes you hear a new language and immediately you form an impression of it. Maybe it sounds rough to you, or laid-back, or gentle. It's interesting to know what people think of a spoken language. What are your impressions of spoken Korean?

Seems like the Korean technology from cell phones to tvs are quickly outselling japanese products. Better quality and design for Korean products are leaving the competion in the dust. Your thoughts.

I was considering teaching english abroad in Korea, but heard horror stories from black people about racism in korea or never getting a job once they're picture is submitted.

However, I really lightskinned for a black guy(I've seen white guys with a tan get darker than me), I get pegged as half or hispanic, or mixed in the USA....

If I go will I recieve the same chilly reception as a dark black guy or will they be more welcoming.
