이 사이트는 반한적인 성격이 강해서 이런 글이 가뭄에 콩나듯 나오는데, 그렇기 때문에 가끔씩 나오는 이런 글들이 진심어리게 보이는 것 같아요

 20 favourite things I share with others at Dave's, plus one to add

1 sportsguy35 wrote: ...the hospitality. I visit a lot of peoples homes and I am amazed to the extent people will go to make sure you don't leave their house hungry. Also the people, the way they go out of their way to help you in the subway or bus...

Absolutely.

An amazing variety actually.

3 fidel wrote: I also dig small villages in the countryside, I love to explore and they offer up so many interesting things.

 Don't they? Those who stay in Seoul don't know what they're missing.

4 Moldy Rutabaga wrote: Koreans respect education-- or at least the letters attached to it-- in a way that Canadians don't. It's pleasant to have people smile when I tell them I have a grad degree instead of a smirk.

I know what you mean.

 5 Swiss James wrote: I love the temples... it's the surrondings which make each one special

That's what I've said before too! I never tire of it.

6 Hyeon Een wrote: ... lots of rain...

Yes! It reminds me of Vancouver Island,... yet is better: is warmer, and the rainy season lasts a whole lot shorter.

7 Hyeon Een wrote: ...lack of crime.

Yeah. I'm still surprised everytime I see the unattended delivery trucks with open supplies of beer, soda pop, mail or whatever in back. I feel entirely safe in South Korea. It makes my pre-arrival apprehensions seem so silly.

8 rumpolestitskin wrote: Children in class are also nice in general

 I appreciate how good they all are most of the time compared to some real bad apples back home.

9 jlb wrote: I loved the efficient, cheap and easy to use transportation system

 I am constantly amazed at how little it costs, how frequently I can go, and how nice it is, to bus around the country.

10 sparkx wrote: I also like the fact that anything can happen at any given time.

 It is a real pleasure to be surprised, and even if I am shocked or just smile and shake my head, no more than a day or two can go by without something new I don't quite understand. It's not boring at all to me.

11 desultude wrote: Service! No, not like wait service (which is generally quite good also) but the things we are given when we buy something.

Getting free things is common enough that I've forgotten to consider it as a perk of being here.

12 thorin wrote: The low cost of living.

I rarely underestimate prices here, am usually happy to see the totals as less than I thought. I don't think I could spend an entire paycheque in a month unless I buy imported things, eat Western food or send money back home. Cost isn't even a factor in my deciding whether to eat out on any given night.

13 indiercj wrote: Korean cinema

 As someone who used to go to the International films section of the video stores back home, I was pleasantly surprised to find out upon coming here that Korea had a movie industry and that serveral were top notch, certainly in the class of much more famous Chinese, German and Iranian films. (Not quite as good as the French and Spanish yet, but that's my personal bias.) In any event, I feel like many film buffs back home are missing out on something I can get for a 1000 won anytime at a local video rental shop here.

 14 crazylemongirl wrote: customer service.

Some of the best customer service I've had has been in Korea Same here. Especially with plumbing, electrical, fuel, anytime a repair or delivery service is required.

15 winnie wrote: easy money!

Some days I marvel at how fun and short my work days can be. Other days I'm a twisted rag. Still, the money is easy. Love the tax rate.

 16 kermo wrote: New plants and trees-- love those ginkos and magnolias

Bamboo in the wild, palm trees along the road, here on the southeast coast. And a lot of plants I've never seen before. I appreciate this.

17 paperbag princess wrote: being tall on the bus

 A small but enjoyable thing. I get a kick out of going to a busy small town market, surrounded by hundreds of rural folk, and being by far the tallest person around. It's just a neat vantage point. Feels like I'm on a movie camera crane coming in for a close angle-down shot (That's not so common a perspective for a six-foot-one guy in the big cities any more.)

18 Dispatched wrote: 500won video rental

Yes! And 1000 won at most hereabouts. Compare that with the five buck rentals back home. There's a lot less selection here but I only rent a couple of films a month, and even have been known to dip back into old titles.

19 Dispatched wrote: Fast internet

I couldn't find anything to match it when I went back home to visit. Two seconds is the longest I feel like waiting these days for a webpage to open up.

20 livinginkorea wrote: Korean culture and history

The sociology and anthropology student in me is fascinated by a country I've learned so little about before.

thorin wrote: no one's mentioned soju

I will! I'm not much of a drinker but I've come to like having soju with many Korean meals in restaurants. I prefer it over the old wine-with-dinner habit back home.

[올인하자.]

해독좀... 영어는 사절입니다.

[살구색빛]

500원 비디오 렌탈밖에 못알아듣겠어요 Orz 아무나 해독 좀 해주세요.....

[커몬]

다 아는 내용인듯. 읽다보니 외국인..주로 영어강사라서 참 쉽고 편하게 사는군하는 생각도 듦. 중간에 183정도가 시골마트 인파중에서 제일 큰키여서 우월감을 느꼈다는 부분은 좀 우습네요. 대도시에선 더 이상 큰키도 아니다고 인정하긴 했지만..

[에버라텍스]

한국말 몰라도 되니까.. 얼마나 편해..

[무서운한류]

외국인 강사 안좋은 눈으로 자꾸보니까 혹시 계획적인 한국칭찬 아닐까?한국인들 보라고 일부러..아 15번은 진짜 마음에 안든다..한국인들 ,동남아인들은 뼈빠지게 일하는데..한국엔 지금 실업자도 넘쳐나는데 염장지르나...(쪽빛바다님 고마워요)
