Description
In this week's episode we speak to California native, Jackie Roberts. We discuss things like Korea's ageing problem, differences between Cali, London and Korea and navigating public transport in and around Seoul. We also get into the differences in dog (ownership) culture (and Koreans generally being scared of big dogs), Korea's fabled cafe culture and what it's like for western women being in a relationship with a Korean. There's also bits and pieces about couple wear, early impressions of hangul, being poked in a jimjilbang (not a euphemism), appreciating the directness of Koreans and the very English trait of mercilessly ripping your mates if they've dared to wear new gear. Something for everyone, as usual. Get on it.
