Hello friends and family

2
00:00:01,180 --> 00:00:07,460
This is Megan Bowen aka ChoNunMigookSaram imnida

3
00:00:07,460 --> 00:00:11,230
Nobody really asked but I thought it would be a really cool video because people

4
00:00:11,230 --> 00:00:14,390
are constantly asking me like the differences between you know Korea

5
00:00:14,390 --> 00:00:15,690
and you know America and stuff like that

6
00:00:15,690 --> 00:00:19,210
So I thought it would be cool to share with you my initial culture shock things

7
00:00:19,210 --> 00:00:20,880
that happened when I first came to Korea

8
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:25,990
Cause I realised that I never made a video about culture shock when I first came to Korea

9
00:00:25,990 --> 00:00:27,340
So anyway

10
00:00:27,340 --> 00:00:33,000
Without further ado, the culture shock things that I was shocked about when I first came to Korea

11
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:38,170
OK, so one of the biggest culture shocks that happened to me when I rolled up in this country

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So I'm walking doo doo doo doo doo into the subway station

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This person in front of me just opened the door so I'm like oh doo doo doo doo doo

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
PEW

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
They didn't hold the door.

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
They didn't hold the door!

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I know it's just kinda like an Amurrrican thing maybe

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But you know if somebody is like close to you

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Like close enough to you

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Y'know you don't just slam the door in their face

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You like

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You know

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You hold it a little bit

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I mean if they're like more than a minute walk away obviously that's too far

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But when you're like this, you hold the door for people

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So, I would always forget because it's my habit to just assume

27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Ah, because I'm so close, this person is not gonna close the door on me

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And so I would just walk in BAM BAM BAM

29
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Door shutting everywhere

30
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Hum

31
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And then, if you hold the door for people, like they'll just walk through

32
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And they would not even like say "thank you" or anything like that

33
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You just hold the door, people would just keep walking through

34
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And they won't stop, they're just like

35
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"I guess she'll just hold the door for everyone"

36
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So, I learned quickly to not hold the door either

37
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Cause that's a waste of time

38
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And actually now I secretly enjoy closing the door on the people behind me and I look

39
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And I'll be like "Yeah, I inconvenienced you"

40
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's my secret

41
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So another thing I was really shocked about is

42
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Spitting

43
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'm talking about, when you walk along the street you will see people spitting
