What I'd like to know though.. is JeeYunee's perspective. What was her impression of Rekrul? What's it like to be a girl in a booking club? What is the impression of Koreans when it comes to foreigners (and how do they compare to the local boys)? Whats up with the 50 condoms? Actually I dont really need to know the answer to that last question. | ||

However in a country town outside Seoul, You may be stared at as if you have a mosquito masturbating on your face. Large proportion of foreigners are either English teachers or GIs.. some tourists as well. | ||

Whats up with the 50 condoms? Actually I dont really need to know the answer to that last question. About the girls in booking clubs.. Generally the frequent booking club goers are far more liberal and some are even considered sluts. (Korean society is more conservative than US) For both male and female, it's a time effective way to meet tons of people per night and you get to choose from them. It may end in exchanging numbers or in some cases going to hotel afterwards. One of the reason why girls like to go to expensive booking club is because it's a quickest way to meet a rich guy. In a booking club, A wealthy man is regarded as a king and a pretty girl as a queen. So prioritywise, it's money for guys and looks for girls. Truthfully for guys one of the main reason they go to booking clubs is to get laid. Not many guys are that keen on making girlfriends through booking clubs. It's hypocritical in a way, like they'd have sex with tons of them but they still prefer a nice conservative girl for a girlfriend. | ||

Since Korea is against the immigration policy and does not embrace diversification there are certain stereotypes about certain race. There are heaps of Phillipines & Malaysian girls working in a sex related business in Korea and guys working in a factory with minimum wage with illegal visa. (Same goes with Chinese). There are many campaigns going on at the moment about improving the treatment toward these people and any open minded people would not treat you any different though I have to say it really depends on the way you are dressed. If you're a philo and you're dressed in a blue jacket and a worn out shoes, then you are immediately an illegal factory worker.. If you are dressed in a nice suit or attire then you may be seen as an English teacher or business men travelling to attend conference in Korea. About whites in Korea.. Some of the Koreans envy white people and they are generally curious about them.. Some are hostile against whites especially with the late anti american trends especially among youth group further fuelled by Bush. (Old men are relatively grateful toward US as they have experienced the Korean war themselves). There are girls who are more than willing to go out with a white guy and there are some who would never consider it an option. But in general if you're a white, you'll experience many people being nice to you with no apparent reasons and some trying to strike up a conversation. If you're a black, then you are most likely to experience a discrimination one way or another. You are immediately regarded as a GI with bad manner. It is partially due to the LA Korea town attack from blacks years ago and GIs in korea stirring up numerous troubles everywhere. However, Hiphop is big among teen & youth group and many try to be immitate the style. Hence the teens endulged in hiphop culture would be curious about you. | ||
