@@raymonds7492 well I really liked that in the movie. It was more realistic to me since in most of the World we actually don't have guns. So I really felt the story as something that could happen were I live.
Back in high school I went Korea for my senior year, these were some things that happened to me: 1. Koreans don’t say “bless you” 2. Nobody holds doors 3. The Ahjummas gave me hella free samples, and complimented how chocolate my skin was 4. I got stares cause I was walking slow 5. I’m black so when I went to the club everyone crowded around me 6. Those cult girls would always ask me a questions 7. Karaoke was my thang 8. Most food is spicy (I have a limit) 9. A lot of strangers wanted to be my friend only because they wanted a black friend🙄 10. My host family spoiled the shit out of me, and my host’s grandma always made me food 11. Koreans are genuinely nice😍😍😍😍
Disagree big time Koreans are rude, racism and discrimination is everywhere They are the most unfriendly and unhelpful people you will meet. Compared to other Asian countries they are way behind and other Asian countries have lots of bad things to say about Koreans, they find them arrogant and rude My black friend would never go back because of the abuse he got Believe me go to Taiwan Thailand Japan Cambodia or Vietnam and see real open honest none judgemental friendly people you will see the difference
"when you ask someone to eat with you,you need to ask them 3 times before they say yes because that's what they think is polite" actually... that's an *Asian* thing😉❤
Awww! I just watched the zombie movie on Netflix, it was good and yes the zombies were fast. Also a little more realistic people with no experience with weapons.
Omgggg I have to face same problem in US in school i walk fast and ppl around me r like y r u walking so fast and I was like this is my normal speed of walking 🤣💜
In the U.S. we have a wide safety margin because of liabilities; this goes for everything including presciption drugs with much lower potency compare to anywhere else.
I come from the Netherlands but my parents are Morrocan and we do the same thing.. We always share food, our door is always open for everybody. I had some friends who in a group would eat a bag of candy or something and dont even offer to share. First time i saw that i was shocked. It felt so rude to me. My Mom taught me that if i dont have enough for everyone to share with i should eat alone somewhere especialy when i was a child. Because there could be someone who didnt have the same. Seriously if my mom cooks, the best goes to the guest as it should be.
Guy: will you marry me? Girl: I really don't wanna bother you. Guy: will you marry me, please Girl: Are you sure you wanna marry me? Guy: please, will you marry me?! Girl: YES!!! (In girls head: "thank god he asked the 3rd time")
The fact that almost everything happens in my country lol I am from India btw 1. Everyone is in a hurry In india Too 2.It takes 3 times to convince someone.. or they are gonna be like...... NO! 3. Peaple In my country are also helpful..... NOT THAT MUCH, BUT THERE ARE... I relate so much lol
OMG! I am an Indian and we don't accept kindness right away as well. I never knew I would be able to relate this with a non desi. I am very used to doing that until I moved overseas I realised I have to keep it within the Indian context. The food culture is also relatable. A perfect example would be a visit. The guests must be asked if they wanna have something. It is usually tea (or coffee). But the guests will say no until few times. It is really a problem when you actually don't want anything but they think you are being polite. If they are visiting after a long time or for the first time they will be treated with something special. And the guests will say you don't have to do all this and won't eat it right away. It will look kinda greedy if the guests accept it right away. On the other hand, if they don't serve their guests well they will be considered rude. It can be weird tbh.
"Koreans are fast" except when walking on the street. My friend and I have been wondering for the past few months why Koreans walk so slowly (or maybe it's just students that do this? we mostly see students walking around the university)
바리바리!! It's a total farce. People crowd into elevators at break-neck speed and stand in the middle of the damn door for them and for subways while getting on. Most times, it means that you are getting off the elevator/train and some clown is suddenly surprised to see a foreigner inches from them and trying to avoid colliding. And then, after all that fuss, people generally take their sweet time to walk the streets or to do anything involving a line. Oh, and don't get me started on how amazing the use of technology for phone payment is, despite no one EVER having their coupons, loyalty programs, or bank apps ready when they purchase something. Trying to be expedient is great. But it basically is nullified by other habits so it just ends up being stressful for everyone without any real gain. I do like standing in the middle of the elevator doors upon exit and looking at their shocked faces as they try to enter without looking to make sure no one is getting off first. That is hilarious as a foreigner.
It's really sad but I have seen a lot of people talks about Asians but they don't really considers Indian as Asians ..it's really disappointing how they describe us means they'll say like they're talking about real Asians not brown people they'll say real Asians are east Asian..wdf is this Asians are the people who lives in Asia
@@asianviews3528 yeah, and some times they were like ,which continent are you from Me :iam Asian And they were like,what? But where is your narrow eyes .
My impatience is the number one thing that annoys me about America (so many people are so slow with everything it is rediculous), I don't want to spend more time doing something than is necessary. Get it done and move on. Every situation that takes me longer than I feel it should I start analyzing how to make it more efficient. Probably the number one reason (beyond food) that I love Korea so much.
@@thinkabout288 You are definitely correct on that one, no offense. Have taken a couple vacations/work trips to Florida, Louisiana, South Carolina and after a couple days I feel start to get annoyed quickly. Although it is a good reminder that it could be much worse for me up here.
I used to be the same way - work fast, walk fast, drive fast. Once I got into my mid to late 40's though, I've been slowing down, and not on purpose - but now younger people pass me in the super market. I can't figure out how it happened - when did I get so damn tired and slow?!?
@@pickledginger5876 old age is not always negative . if we had the wisdom of old age when we were young the world would be a different place yes i'm very old ☮
@@DrInduchak yeah ..😂 but in hindi serials....I watch tamil serials( I'm tamizhan) and in Tamil serials there will be no more romantic scenes as in hindi .....by the way I love hindi serials and they are my favorite also💞
In America it is considered rude to accept an invitation the first time, (like staying for dinner when visiting a friend), they may only be asking out of politeness and not have enough for everyone. However if asked a second time it is impolite to refuse.
In my country there’s some unspoken rule in certain cultures (my country has various cultures depending in provinces ) to offer, invite, etc 3 times and to wait for the third offer to accept. This is usually what is seen as polite, usually it kinda means u rly mean it of u ask 3 times and it doesn’t make u look overly eager to accept after the third offer
The same in India too . We don't accept everyone's kindness directly . Just to show our politeness . Even if we really want to say yes , we'll still wait for the other person to force us to accept them or their stuffs . Ya may be it's not done by everyone here . But ya people mostly follow this here too and they don't even notice themselves while doing this . Well almost everyone in India have done this thing numbers of time in their life .
This mostly happen in india when relatives gives us money ...so we pretend that we don't need it but in mind we just wish that we will definetly going to grab it just say us one more time to take it 😂😂😂
When she said about Zombies. Me thinking: *Oh Namjesus Save Me~* *Jungkook Save Me~* *Hobi.....I am fine....* *Jimin......sorry but you got no jams.* *Suga hyung......sorry to disturb your sleep😅😑* *Tae.....RUN!!!* *And Jin hyung........show the zombies your handsome face😅* *Duh*
That fast culture of yours would drive me crazy. It is exactly why I moved out of the city up to the mountains where it is peaceful and quiet and I can sit and watch all the wildlife as it goes by.
Mark Heisler aw, we recently moved to the mountains for space, and I would give anything to go back to the city. I hate the 1 hour and 30 minutes on the bus ride to school every day, making a total of three hours there and back. Lol I just miss waking up at 7 am again, but the mountains and nature make up for it I guess.
Mark Heisler oh that’s awesome! I would love it if it were like that. We have a school also about a 20-30 minute drive from us, but state lines and stuff make it so that they don’t send a bus here. Also, my mom has a job and can’t drive us there in the mornings anyways :(
I really love korean culture a lot.And the fact that it matches with my country culture as well makes me want to go to korea more.And I genuinely think that the things that you said is not annoying at all.I am used to it a lot.Thanks for this by the way.
India uncle- child this is ur gift.. Child - no, plzz (in mind - give it to me) Uncle- come child take it.. Child - oh I can't ( in mind - ask one more time..)
@@JessiRose33 same here. I was like speed running the series cause I felt like I was watching something new about zombies. Not the cliche zombie ect. Can't wait 😁
I watched some videos of Westerners living in Korea, they said that in cases of verbal violence, if you are not a Korean, you should not fight back, defend yourself or go to the police, nobody will listen to you or help you. I was scared, my Korean friends who have lived in my city for years said that this is what happens.
Talking about accepting people’s kindness, how do we know if that person we asked if we can help just wants to be polite or really doesn’t want to be helped ...?
*takes notes* "how to annoy and piss off rachel kim!" 1. take things slowly 2. hit every floor button on the elevator 3. repeat 🤣🤣😈 TROLOLOLOLOLOL do u love me rachel kim?!?!
When she said : "blood, sweat, and tears" I thought she is going to mention about BTS.. and blood, sweat, and tears is gonna play in the background...😅 Besides, I am from India... And Indians always "no" Everytime before saying or starting any conversation..😂
I will say this, I really like your English, and that's on top of the fact that I really like korean/hangug. And it comes from the way you reason, is, -"that's just the way we are, don't you get it?" So yeah, your pretty cool
NYC has a massive Korean population. Extensive commercial area in Manhattan and a large residential area in Queens. Love going to the Korean BBQ restaurants in midtown Manhattan on the West Side.
@@igloo54 Flushing is an upcoming vibrant area in Queens. I'm going to go there next time I visit NYC. I think the Ozone Park area centered on Liberty Avenue between 77th and 110th Street could possibly be the most structurally beautiful urban area currently on the planet!
Ok so i am from Albania and ya know we don't accept people kindness directly . We refuse like you Koreans but when the person offering you , won't stop then we accept it and to be honest that's what goes into my mind , ya know the thing you said 'come on ask me one more time , i promise i will say yes if you ask me etc ' . And i know i haven't told you but you are so pretty and i love your dimples !
I am Hungarian and this sounds soooo familiar especially the asking 3 times and sharing food possibly in an insisting way :D I loooove your videos, your are lovely, hugs from London Xoxox
I love sharing food! My friend's mom constantly would send me apples (which are really expensive in Korea) and made me Japchae (which is one of my favorites - especially her Japchae). After I went to Korea, I seriously was wishing I could adopt a mom and just visit her all the time, bring her gifts, and learn from her. My American mom is sweet, but I think Korean moms are very involved and lovely.
I watched Kingdom and Train to Busan, and they're some of my favorite zombies, hahaha. I'm laughing at myself that this is what I decided to comment on..... 🤔 haha
I drive my husband crazy because I try to share food and I also won’t take no for an answer. He says I’m annoying, I’m going to say I am just practicing korean culture for my trip there 🤣
the thing ur calling annoying is just sooo cute!! Its very similar here in India as well! The cultures of both india and korean matches to a large extent! We also love sharing our food and keep offering the other person! Its really nice and caring according to me!
The fact that Koreans really care about others is so true. Specially if you are a student or stuff - my case. Always having meals together and all. Although I'm not used to this kind of treatment and was a little bit overwhelmed, it was also heartwarming. Thank you for your video, missing Korea already
This video has no reason to be this funny. Seriously you manage to teach me stuff meanwhile putting a smile on my lips. Thank you for making my day worth more ☺️
