love the people Most people are hard working, creative, and amicable. Even the really provincial kind are appealing in a way. love the geography The mountains and the rivers are especially beautiful. hate the politicians For some reason, the politicians think that they are God's gift to the world and they have to mind everybody's business. | ||

Korea: I like: ~ The friends I've made. ~ Esports and the opportunities for unique/surreal experiences it's given me. ~ The music; mainly Epik High, Seo Taiji, Big Bang. (The concerts are awesome too.) ~ The food (Omurice, BBQ, Paris Croissant bakery etc.) ~ The shopping - I can get lots of interesting things here from brands we don't have in the UK. ~ Very cheap public transport which is easy to use and clean. ~ Korean television - Super Action Channel is like a non-stop diet of Steven Seagal movies XD. ~ My onetel - it's immaculate, quiet, all bills included for a cheap price and I feel safe because it's got CCTV and a password locked front door. I dislike: ~ The rudeness of certain people. You get it everywhere I suppose, but some people here are really overtly racist. Especially high schoolers and older people. ~ That they put ham in most sandwiches (ham *and* tuna? WTF?) ~ Old kimchi smell in my fridge - blargh. ~ Lack of certain foods from back home (brown bread, pasties, real fish and chips etc.) England: I like/miss: ~ My Mum and my cat. ~ The food. It's cheaper than Korea to cook at home (which I enjoy.) and healthy food like veggies and fruit is less expensive. I miss pies, pasties, fish and chips, certain types of drink and brown bread ;_; Oh and quiche!~ ~ The parks and old buildings - Korean temples and shrines are beautiful, but I do love English castles and parks. ~ Being able to understand everyone and be understood (I'm rubbish at korean and I do try my best, but sometimes when you're tired it's even more draining to have to speak a second language.) ~ My friends back home (I sadly don't really speak to many of them now.) ~ British television. I dislike: ~ The chavs. I hate people who sponge off of the benefit system. If you're genuinely incapable of working due to illness or other circumstances then I have total sympathy, but a lot of people in England are just lazy gits. ~ The litter - although it can be just as pronounced here in Korea. ~ The expensive public transport. ~ The lack of a decent government. | ||

Like: Weather (Not to cold and not to warm). Calm place, nothing ever happens here, NOTHING. The food. The contrast. Dislike: We copy every fucking dumb shit (not the good stuff) USA has. | ||

China: Selfish US: Self-centered In general, the Chinese culture is more selfish. Chinese people are less likely to help unless they're getting something in return. They are more likely to accept money as the standard of happiness. In general, U.S. citizens are more defensive or arrogant of their race, religion, sexual orientation, and personal tastes. People are just so insanely proud of being Jewish or being gay or their niche music or their favorite beer. | ||

Likes: - Ethnic diversity - Geographic diversity - South Park - Unnecessary violence in films and video games Dislikes: - Feels like all the major news stations always have an agenda, I realize that totally impartial reporting is a pipe dream but I swear they don't even try! - We're fat as hell! I find it hilarious that whenever I walk places, (often hugely obese) people frequently stop and ask me if I need a ride. - As an individual citizen, it's no fun to be stigmatized by the rest of the world. While I understand the reasons, it can often be pretty unwarranted (even Orome couldn't resist sneaking a jab in there  ) Just consider us to be the fat kid on the playground with rich asshole parents. Yeah, we're not totally blameless but we probably don't deserve a swirly either. edit: Swirly=putting a kid's head in the toilet and flushing it | ||

Likes: - freedom (speech, press - if you are complaining about the US news media's partiality...I think you should do some research on what the press is like in most other countries) - strong demand for high-skill jobs - world's best universities - friendly, hospitable people - professional sports (especially the NFL and baseball) - relatively stable government and economy (and a sweet constitution) - a nation of immigrants with few "assimilation" policies - eagles are badass Dislikes: - wide roads - large cars - ultraconservatism, ultra-religiosity, and kooky homeschoolers - McMansions - a general lack of taste and style (nobody wears sweat pants in public in Europe, besides bums) - we need a better national soccer team! - slavery and anti-native american policies in our history - social security and medicare | ||

Weather (always keeps you guessing  and never too cold or too hot)No poisonous animals Cricket and Rugby and Football which we invented Our intelligentsia BBC- entertainment, comedy and learning all rolled into one free package with NO ADVERTS EVER. Our language is the best language for getting your point across (plus so many synonyms) Good fair country with good law system and very moral country eg. National Health System Our parliament and Prime Minister's Question Time London is one of the best cities in the world with fantastic museums and galleries and amazing architectureWe have had some pretty sick military victories as well as sick commanders and cool people Dislikes (hates): Class system is very strong here- accents show immediately how much Xk a year your parents earn Underclass sponging off benefits and violent drunken chavs EVERYwhere Everyone tries to screw the system in some way or another with benefits and tax. Even our politicians Lack of country identity and national holidays National anthem School system Pretty average music from our country, always in other countries' shadows We suck at every sport and all of our sportsmen always fail to perform under pressure Culture of repression and cynicism Our media is FUCKING AWFUL and a complete disgrace | ||

I was in Poland last summer (had a great time: great country, friendly people, good beer!), and this is the number one thing that I noticed: You have all of these absolutely gorgeous Polish girls, like 14-19 year old girls who could easily be models and are dressed immaculately, running around with these Polish teenage guys who look like total bums (no offense meant). Like, on the street I regularly passed some 5'11'' skinny beautiful Polish girl wearing $100 lingerie, holding on to the arm of a guy who is 5 inches shorter than her and looks like most American guys at his age - he hasn't figured out how often to shave his half beard yet, and his pants are hanging off of his ass. In the US, girls like that just date older guys for the most part. What's the Polish secret? How do young Polish guys score these ridiculous women? | ||

Parking space is too small Only one elevator in high rise apartment Not enough rubbish bins on the street Too many touters on the street People spitting on the street Crazy education system Lack of welfare Hospitals inject needle in your ass regardless of your condition Pollution Homogenius society Lack of variety in music Super Junior/Kara/U-kiss/SS501 etc and rest of the garbage fuck all ya'll 된장녀 | ||
