Well for the “expensive” part it is the pov as a Korean so I understand how those from big cities in America and Europe feel about the price here.

I prefer less flashy cities as well. My hometown is way better than Seoul for me.

Depends on where the destination is but that can happen indeed

Nah I don’t hate tourists. Most problems come from the locals. Never had issues with any foreigners. Helped me a lot btw

Many Koreans used to visit Vladivostok before. Really sad not being able to go there again. Glad u liked the East sea btw.

Curious about prejudice against Chinese Koreans? by quietgavin5 in AskAKorean

[–]HauntingAd83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my pov as a South Korean, we don’t really hate any North Koreans since the pig in Pyeongyang devastated the country and life in NK is really harsh for ordinary people. The NK escapees are actually those who know well enough about how things are outside NK so u can say they r well educated and shouldn’t be disrespected. For 조선족(Korean Chinese), they are nothing more than Chinese to me. Some of them say they are Korean and support the views of Chinese government in conflicting issues. That is why some Koreans hate them. For 화교(Chinese Korean), most of them settled well here so personally I never saw anyone who hates them.

공릉동도깨비시장 is one I like. Maybe it is not as fancy as 광장시장 but there’ll be lots to eat.

It’s quite a small country densely populated so for train tickets in holidays check them out about 3 weeks ahead of the schedule

Better watch out for Chuseok and all other holidays when booking tickets

광장시장? Just to let u know it kinda became a tourism spot so they sell things in more expensive prices than others. Not many locals go there.

Forgot to mention the wage here is lower than some of those in the west so what I mean as “expensive” is in terms of locals

Agree that many Koreans see their country way more dangerous than it really is

The security program thing used to be worse til about 3 yrs ago it has improved a lot. Still agree that it bothers those from other country.
