My life in Korea / Myeongdong and youtube


This is my MyeongDong youtube video. It is not the full video but just a trailer of it. The reason I started youtube is to let foreigners know about the small yet beautiful country of South Korea. I've lived most of my life in the States but about 7 years ago I came to Korea on vacation. At first I didn't really like Korea. Perhaps it's because everything was so unfamiliar to me.

Right when I got off the airplane, I saw only Koreans. This shouldn't be surprising but it surprised me because back where I'm from the races are diverse. When I got to Korea, I didn't have a place to stay so my parents called my aunt and we stayed with her for a month. I've never lived in the countryside before. Her place was in the middle of a large grassy field with lots of cow dung and animals roaming about.

By the way, I came to Korea with my brother. We stayed with our aunt for a month and we asked her if we can move out and get our own place. We were on a tight budget so we asked her to get a place for us. She found a place about 7 minutes away from her place. The living conditions there were even worse. I'm not going to go into detail about that but it was just bad. Anyways, we stayed for another month and we knew we had to do something. Either we find a job or just go back home.

We decided to stay a bit longer and see what we can find. We put in applications here and there and about a week later we got a call from an English academy. We were so grateful. After getting a job, I earned quite of bit of money.

I will continue this story later but what I'm trying to say is that people are afraid of the unknown. South Korea has made a great impression in the world but I believe it is still not well-known to most of the people in the world. So my goal for my channel is to show people and get people interested in a small yet beautiful country of South Korea. When you take a look at my videos, you will know what to expect in Korea when you get here and it will make your stay here much more enjoyable. Maybe you might even decide to stay here like I have. ^^ Take a look at my youtube videos and subscribe to get more content about South Korea. Thank you for your time.
