Imagine you are living abroad what are the most difficult things for you?/ What do you miss about Korea?

If I will be living abroad, it will be so hard because the background is different so it is not easy for me to adapt to the new background and one of the most important things is language.

Language is also different from Korea so it is important.

Above this, there are other things, for example, life style, food style and concept of health. I think most difficult of all is food style because, I heard from a friend about living abroad. When he lived abroad, sometimes he called me, he said “Korean’s taste and foreigner’s taste are different so I never eat please help me.”

I can live without money and not knowing the language but I can’t live without food to taste so I understood my friend’s opinion.

If I will live abroad, I will miss Korean food, friend, family and many other Korean cultures.

But, if I will have an opportunity to go abroad, I would want to live abroad because it will be a good experience for me.

Dating in Korea

When I watch some movies, I feel that dating in South Korea is quite similar to American relationships but with some differences.

First, if you meet a boy or a girl friend, they are eating some food and watching movies in the cinema and go to amusement park. I think it is similar to American.

But in Korea, there is a problem.

When I was a middle school student, I heard about dating expenses. For example, in America.

They always pay their bills separately but, if I suggest to pay separately to woman, she will feel bad in Korea.

I think some Korean women’s mentality is strange.

They think that the date pay should always be for man and they want to feel like a Queen.

I think it is traditional and cultural difference because only before 50 years ago power was consist for man so, Korean men were patriarchal. But times have changed and improved women’s status.

As a result, Korea receive western culture and also dating culture are similar.

Would gay marriage ever be legal in Korea?

In Korea, gay marriage is illegal because Korea is a society based on Confucianism since a long time ago so, gay marriage is illegal.

In fact, I think homosexuality is not bad because they are also persons so, they have the right to love and we shouldn’t invade their right. But, gay marriage is a different aspect because if the Korean government legalize a gay marriage, this will make many problems. For example, potential hiding gay will come out from shady spot thus, some couple will increase divorce rate and the society will be in confusion.

Also, marriage is a promise that two people will live together for life and society will provide convenience from them but, if they legalize the gay marriage, some bad gay couple will abuse it.

For this reason, I oppose the legalization of gay marriage.
