but the thing about koreans is friendships are soooo tight, i used to think it was weird to just drink with guys, but the friends i made in korea, i became so close with that we would just eat chicken and drink in our rooms, it's one of the more special things about korea i think.

People do that here in the US all the time, esp. in college ... and with both guys and girls. From the OP, the latter case sounds like it'd be weird in Korea if you weren't dating, which is a shame IMO. Not everything with the opposite sex has to be romantic/sexual/flirtatious. o_O

One thing i'm curious about is the "flakey-ness" from said friends.
I'm not Korean but i've known some friends to just randomly flake and they usually give no reason. Or if they cant do something they wont respond with a text or msg. Is this because they don't like disappointing people?

I was expecting a similar post to come but this exceeded my expectations by far. Very well written and I have to agree with everything from my limited personal experience. In my country it's quite common for friends to just meet every once in a year and that's it. Koreans I've talked to would always contact me in a week again and we'd build a friendship from there.

Very interesting blog indeed! The discussion about nudity was interesting in it's own way as well, but I'm one of those people who give a very little fuck about what other people think, so yeah.. just be yourself - that'll automatically filter away people you're never going to be able to hang around with anyways

I'm going to Korea with two friends for a little more than a month this July, and I'm REALLY^17 looking forward to it! I could throw a billion questions about Korea out there, but a certain thing has been nagging my subconsciousness:

None of my friends, or me for that matter, have been in SK before and even though I've done my part of getting to know the country (learning Hangul, basic Korean, some culture etc.) I have a feeling that there's a risk of missing some stuff if you haven't got anyone who can show you around a bit for a few days or something like that.

Anyone got any experiences with this?
