Korean's experience of US,UK,Japan,Singapore Anonymous 07/24/24(Wed)08:42:57 No.200123701

USA (Cali) 7-19 years old

Pros:
> Great natural environment
> Welfare is good if you're middle class or above
> Pride in being American
> Easy to challenge new industries (age perception is different from Korea)

Cons:
> Family-centered society, can be lonely without family
> Safety can be poor due to others not being cautious, even if you are cautious
> Everything is expensive, costs a lot of money. No "help culture" like in Korea. Easier to go bankrupt if you're poor

UK (London) 26-29 years old

Pros:
> Visually pleasing (architecture + nature, personally prettier than Paris)
> Can enjoy world-class cuisine from various countries
> Opportunities to experience diverse cultural and linguistic content, increasing understanding of the English-speaking world
> Easy to travel to other parts of Europe

Cons:
> Depressing weather
> Not much racism, but as a foreigner, you pay more for everything (taxes, tips, etc.)
> Sometimes hard to understand English, feels like learning a new language
> Inflation is worse than in the US or Korea, spending power is low
> High taxes on the middle to upper class due to increased welfare for refugees and vulnerable groups, causing wealthy people to leave

Japan (Tokyo) 31-32 years old

Pros:
> Easy to adapt because it's similar to Korea
> Excellent infrastructure, relatively cheap considering the safety
> Safe enough that you don't have to be on guard

Cons:
> Low income, high taxes
> Feels more rigid and stifling compared to Korea, possibly due to living in the English-speaking world before
> Too humid, especially hard to live in spring and summer (especially after living in Cali)
> Severe discrimination against foreigners (similar to Korea, white supremacy + discrimination against people of color)
> Hard to learn the language due to needing to study kanji as well
