what about learning the language? how much of the korean language do we need to know before getting there?
and oh, haha, random, did you feel any 'racism' while you were there? Some of my white friends that have been to Korea say a lot of people stare and randomly go up to them to say "Hi! How are you?" and their friends burst out laughing. While my black friends said a lot of people stare. @_@
@ ilovetreyfisher: I don't speak Korean and I had a blast in Seoul. But of course, knowing a little Korean goes a long way as the locals will be thrilled that you put in an effort to say 'kamsahamida!' :)
It isn't so much racism but curiosity and the need to know more about other cultures. Also, I don't think they realize that they're staring.
But you know, it doesn't only happen in Asia. I got stares when I went to a diner in a small town in Pennsylvania while on a road trip. I don't think one should take it to heart. :)
