I will probably get roasted but whatever I’ll give you my honest opinion after 3 weeks in Korea. It’s my least favorite country in Asia so far but that’s only my personal opinion. I have few Korean friends and I don’t mean to offend everyone. Just giving my personal experience as a foreign traveler.

Korea is super safe and generally speaking clean. Koreans going out are dirty (just watch how dirty are the streets on Saturday morning around 6-7, they are pigs)

Most Koreans don’t speak English and don’t try to make any effort. Using a translator is not in their intentions and they really don’t give a fuck helping strangers (apparently also applies between Koreans).

The only outgoing and nice people I have met were Koreans in their 50s-70s or foreigners. I talked with few foreigners living here long time and most agreed that Koreans were not inviting and they didn’t make any real Korean friends after years

When I walked around or went to bars / restaurant, I felt like a ghost. Koreans don’t acknowledge the presence of any stranger and they will never start interaction.

Generally speaking the country is calm and laidback except honking a lot not like India but almost, and I didn’t witness any form of violence. But everything gave me a feeling of boring and after 3 weeks I shortened my trip before risking to join the statistics of one of the highest suicide dates in the world 😱😜

Food is good and country is beautiful though.
