Who is a no mad at heart like me?

I was born in Seoul and taught to hate Japan at school.
First foreign country I visited and lived was Japan and I fell in love with their food, politeness of people.❤️
Hong Kong was great in 80’s, I lived there for 1 year.

UK- my first culture shock and hurt a lot from British people.
Food is boring, weather is horrible and I survived there for 15 years and left for good.
People used to ask me— Do you have chocolate in your country? It was 90’s.

I lived in Germany for 3 years and fell in love with their food, warm hearted people.
They are very polite and honest. ❤️
They treated me as a human being, after hell experience in the UK, Germany was heaven for me.
Germans were kind and friendly even though I didn’t speak German.

Now I’m living in America for 9 years.
America was my dream place when I was young and I learned English because of music and films.
So far so good but I want to explore other country soon.
When I imagine with picture image, my dreams come true easily.
I don’t feel I belong to a certain country, I lost Korean passport 35 years ago so I always feel I’m earthling.
I want to make friends who feels like me.

I’m here to connect with people globally and get to know their humor and their fun interests and good taste of music.
After all I learned English through music and film from young, mostly self taught first.

Very cool. I worked part time for an American bureau of Nippon TV for 17 years. Almost all were very nice and polite.

I have a friend who is a Chinaman originally from Taiwan. He admits it's a little ingrained in him to look down on Koreans. But he's never mean about it.

When his family moved out of his childhood home in Long Island near Queens they rented it to a Korean woman who eventually turned it into a brothel 😁😂😁😂

He was horrified beyond belief. Eventually they moved out and he had to get rid of 1000+ jars of Kimchee 😂😁😱

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy! 😂

@Slade That’s not unusual story around 90’s-2010’s from newspapers. 😵‍💫
So many illegal workers and working girls story.
When IMF crisis affected Korea so badly I guess people had to find the survival elsewhere even if it was illegal works.
Their moral standards changed drastically and when I got back after 16 years, I no longer saw Korea that I used to remember. 😔
Too many babies put up for overseas adoption from1950’s until these days so I guess that’s why I can see many Korean related people all over the world.
I think it’s desperate survival attempt and if it produce positive ends and mend mistakes I respect brave people who tried hard to make their lives little better.💚🍀

@skybubble20 my friend is a funny bastard. He looks at the world as his ant farm. He operates on stereotypes but, taken right, is highly amusing.

One time we had a short event in midtown. I drove in and brought my dog. That area is considered Koreatown. He asked if I was bringing in Thanksgiving dinner😋

@Slade I read Chinese also ate dog🥺. But it's getting better now that people don't like old custom anymore. I hear that joke often about asians, it happened a lot in the past but not common now.🙂

@skybubble20 it's cats with the Chinese. Again, this guy was in Chinatown and an off the boater from the hinterlands of China offered him a box of cats. He wanted to knock his head off but ended up buying them and bringing them to a shelter
