I won't say I dislike Koreans, it's just that I like Japan and Japanese more ((probably because I'm an anime addict)) Anyhow, when my mother began working as an English Language teacher for Korean students, that's when the mania started.
My mother brought home fascinating and hilarious stories about these people. And instantly, you'd see the difference in belief and culture. Koreans are not as warm as us, I mean, they won't say hi to you while walking in the streets. And when they converse, they frankly say anything what they want not minding the people they might hurt. And they are very, I mean really, really patriotic. Even if they're here in the Philippines, they'd search and buy Korean foods and other stuff they need. They'd brag about how cool Korean brands are than anything else. People might say it's gloating, but I say it's nationalistism. I wish we could be a little more like them in ways like loving our own than imported goods. ((oh no, Shot right through the heart))
I've read about books about Korea and it's people, I even watched films made and born in Korea. It was like a disease, contaminating my mind, enchanting me. ((but I still like Japan better)) I've even talked to a Korean, well, not a long conversation though ((my mother once brought me to her work and met a few Korean breds there and heard their mothertongue in action)) and I've chatted with a few Koreans too and yes, we conversed in English.
What I found out about them is that they love hot and spicy food. They say that once you're hooked up in spicy foods, you'll start craving for more, wanting for more, eating more. Thus they have a high rate of Stomach cancer.
Just like us, Koreans are also conservative when it comes to physical contact and love. ((I noticed this after watching so many Korean films and series)) If you watch closely, their "kiss" is nowhere near the "kiss" in American films. Korean "kiss" is just barely touching each other's lips while in American "kiss", the couple are frenching and eating each other's faces. ((Laughs)) For Koreans, a Piggyback ride is considered to be "Kakakilig" / giggly.
If there's something I don't like about Korea and its culture it would be it's unique language. I don't want to hurt anybody, but the intonnation in their language makes my ears bleed. And their English sucks too((mine too)) well, not all of them.
Anyhow,
when I find out more about them, I'd let you know.
Toodlez,
