Positives include gaining an understanding of community; cheap, reliable AND CLEAN public transport; the home delivery of anything you can think to order; great food; great fashion if you are US size 0-2 (which I am most definitely not); the generosity of Koreans in general is overwhelming; a million opportunities to experience another culture and truly participate in the society; kimchi and Korean food culture; the utter lack of masculinity issues in the male population toting man purses, wearing hot pink, and fixing each other"s hair; noraebangs (karaoke rooms where you sing with just your friends for hours on end!); I"m leaving out so many things.
The negatives include the incredible emphasis on appearance and vanity; wide-spread acceptance of drunkenness as a hobby for the working class; pushing and shoving in the subway (there"s a reason my blog used to be entitled Rage in the A.M.); the lack of toilet paper in public restrooms; I"m leaving out so many things.
