Not all of us 'waygooks' are the same you know. I know, I know, don't worry. I am foreign and a teacher. I have many foreign friends (almost exclusively). I also have one mixed race friend and a gay friend! That said.......(nothing good comes after That said)....I think Koreans *are* better when it comes to those things. It is only my experience but I've experienced hundreds and hundreds of drunken escapades both at home and in Korea and in six months here only one of those spectacles has involved a drunken Korean. And he was like 60. The only time I've ever been touched in Korea is when I walked into a bar and after twenty seconds some drunk American grabbed my collar for absolutely no reason. The only time I've been annoyed or threatened or experienced drunken screaming in Korea is drunk foreign teachers. And I try to avoid foreign bars, so it's not proximity. Maybe it's different if you go out in Seoul every weekend. I have *seen* plenty of drunk ajusshis however  | ||

Guys would always be giving away free energy drinks there and I would just grab a couple of bottles of Soju and chill listening to the live music. The fighting is really dumb but as NeverGG pointed it out it's not 100% foreigners at fault. Also lol at the Turkish guy not getting let in the club and saying "I'm fucking Korean!". Poor guy. Overall the video is really well done and I'm going to just send it to people in the future when they ask me what it was like. Although a 3rd video showing Hongdae during the day would be pretty cool. Especially some footage of the free market. Hongdae is really polarized between its daylife and nightlife but both are pretty interesting. Turks? They sounded more like Pakstani/Indian to me. | ||
