Korean mannerisms I find hard-wired now when I visit "home":
Bowing (the perfunctory head nod kind) on greeting someone.
Handing something to someone with my right hand.
Breaking off eye contact after a second or two.
The shoes thing. |

Think those were the only two I ever did, and just in the beginning, along with handing a 'superior' something with both hands. Oh yeah, and drinking like a demon, people would be on the second sip of their beer and I'd have already downed mine. |

I still do the head nod thing, sometimes I do the handing things with two hands bit, and I do take my shoes off when entering my house (but then again shouldn't everyone really be doing this everywhere?)
When I first got home the only awkward thing- which only lasted a short time- was that I sometimes gave the wrong bills at stores (maybe this happened twice) because I had gotten used to each denomination looking different in Korea. |

I've asked for it at Korean restaurants in the States and then I get pissed when they bring me Sprite. It's just not the same! |
Agreed. Sprite tastes better. |

Your video title is misleading especially since youre just plugging your own youtube page with this lame attempt at humor. I know tons of foreigners who dont fall prey to this kind of behavior when visiting their home countries.
Everyone in this video should take a long walk off a short bridge, you included. |

Please tell me you are keeping a diary, with the intent of publishing/performing these.
Comedy genius...really. |
Thanks Cosmic, if I did perform these you might be the only one in the audience. My friends didn't find it all that funny. |

Wow another Korean expat ragging on content creators in Korea...or just a bored troll. Probably a mix of both.
I've typically found that unless you have a website dedicated towards pointing out everything bad about Korea, you are a waygook sell out in many eyes. What's funny is that these people create nothing of value and continue to mope in their averageness and failure.
Sad. |

It's too sweet for me, but to each their own. |

Ahh yes the old "troll excuse" because I pointed that it was lame humor and because everyone isnt like this. Since its posted on a public forum as well as a public video sharing page, I like anyone else can comment on it as I see fit. If it actually pointed out many bad points about Korea I would be all for it, however a lot of these things are a cultural issue. I realize its hard for you to understand that, so im going to take your comment about trolling and waygook sellouts as simple ignorance. Have a good day buddy. |

Oh Richard, easy there. Are you another idiot who thinks you actually possess humor? Or are you one of the numerous socks on here? Either way pathetic attempt.  |

Aren't you very sensitive? Don't be so sensitive, if you are so sensitive over a bit of advice, how do you think the OP feels when you dish out advice to her, all I did, was suggest the same to you as you did to her, except, she can take it and you obviously cannot.  |

Ah yes. The old "it's a public forum" tirade. I'm not inhibiting you from posting on a public forum, I'm just pointing out at how dumb your post is. You have a good day too.  |

In all fairness, you are doing the same thing that you have always done on this board. Have a good day and be safe out there. |
