I was at this kebab and this "white" waygook was talking on his cellphone and blocking me from seeing the menu at the same time. I waved my hand around to try to get him to move.
him(on cell): sorry this stupid korean guy is being rude
me: Watch your f***ing mouth a**hole! I'm not Korean....
him: Oh shit! Sorry Sorry. I didn't know. I'm really sorry! (with a scared look on his face)
Hahhaha it just made my night. Also, when I was walking with this korean girl and we past by a group of drunk ajosshi, NOT one them even stared at us. Does anyone have any similar experience you guys want to share? |

i had a friend in a subway who was talking about this hot girl sitting in front of him and he kept talking about what he'd do to her, this and that, this and that. as she got up to leave, she said "btw, i understand everything you said."
but, if i was the girl, i'd be flattered. |

| So you're saying you love being the same race as the majority of the country you're in, so you can blend in and not be stared at all the time? |

had a similar thing happen to me recently
watched a movie at the cgv in myeongdong. finished, got on the elevator, only my friend and I on the elevator and we were looking at ourselves in the mirror. (vain I know) anyways, the doors are closing and this upper 30's woman comes crashing in to the doors (for some reason elevatr doors in korea dont seem to reopen, i dunno only been here a month)
anyways the doors close in on her, hit her, then reopen. then her husband comes in and says are you ok? she says yeah, then he mumbles f-ing a**holes under his breath. so we're like excuse me? blah blah blah more yelling. he somehow expected us to know his wife was running towards the door and we should have held the open sign. which we replied with well if she had said something like...HOLD THE DOOR we would have.
anyways more yelling and that was about it  |

one thing I notice myself doing, as an gyopo, is that I find myself switching sides when convenient or embarrassed.
For example, a group of foreigners come into the subway car, beers in their hands, louder than a mother even though they're 1-2 feet from each other, sitting in the "reserved for handicapped/elderly" seats, just being loud, obnoxious and drunk. I shake my head in disapproval along with the other annoyed koreans in the subway car saying to myself "What a bunch of jackass mofos".
The reverse happens, and a bunch of drunk adjoshis jump in and start cursing, talking loudly, grabbing each other's balls, drunkenly staring at the foreigner(s) in the same car, pointing out something distinguishing about said foreigner(s) whether it be a tattoo, piercing, hair style/color, weight, clothes, etc. And again I shake my head in disapproval and take the side of the foreigner, and sometimes tell them "What a bunch of drunk jackass mofos" |

Me and a friend were watching a foreign couple arguing about their relationship in a coffee shop. The dude was being really loud obnoxious, and manipulative. At one point he stood up and mocked stormed out. Me and my friend (Filipino) looked over at the lady and mouthed some choice comments about her boyfriend. Perked her right up.
Other than that hmm...Having an ajosshi think I was Japanese and wanting to attack me. Forgetting an honorific and being threatened with bodily harm. Students who don't understand the terms "adopted" or "kyopo" refer to me as Chinese or Japanese. Pretending to be Russian so I don't have to deal with the stuff. On and On.
But here's the fun part- girls. Korea is a paradise for Asian-Americans. Amongst non-Asian expat and Asian-American expat girls its really easy to hook up if you're the only Asian-American in the group, which is why I don't get the whole Angry Asian Man thing that some kyopos bring over.
One thing I really miss- Korean International Student Culture. Yoohoksaengs here all absorb themselves back into their old lives. Anything involving Koreans from America is usually Kyopo-based and a little lame. I especially miss bilingual Church where things go back and forth between Korean and English in an almost effortless manner. |

You need to be more sensitive to our culture.  |

haha yeah one thing you'll notice is that you'll start to hear foreigners talking shit about and around koreans thinking no one will understand them. And if you understand Korean, you can hear Koreans talking about foreigners around them too |
