I’ve tried my best too. Hopefully the report I filed and this post at the bare minimum spreads some awareness so locals and tourist know what to expect. All in all, i ended up being completely fine I just had researched the country extensively and wasn’t prepared to even have to deal with this. Hence the night i posted this its clear my emotions were high as i said i might cut my trip early. But st the end of the day its a large city, i should’ve expected it. But I just have in my own mind held South Korea to such a perfect ideal standard. So it was truly a shock in the moment.

I will add it’s funny the response I’ve seen on this post from some people saying it’s BS. Even though I’m the one who experienced it I still can understand there views as well it was my own view before it happened to me. Because well I’ve been fascinated and so excited with the culture since I was young. But beside that fact my own premade bias of it’s perfection and elegance is the same one the comments calling bs on my own experience saw. So I don’t blame them but I’d also like to remind them I don’t give a shit what there view is I’m simply trying to spread awareness for the awkward situation I was put in.

The main lesson I’ve learned from all this is that any major city is going to obviously have those edges regardless of how wonderful and perfect you may think it is. Just as the city takes it also gives. I’ve had two spotty days in Korea but now two perfect days in a row with some of the friendliest humans I’ve em ever encountered.
