Hey guys, in about a month, I'm moving to South Korea and will be living alone there for a couple years. I'm 18 and have no clue about the culture or about much Asia.
I'd be greatful for any tips or heads-up's about living there. I'll be staying in Busan.
I'm also fat (XXL), I've lost over 50 pounds in about a month already and should drop plenty more before I go, but I know I'll still stick out pretty badly.
Also, language wise, I'm "ok" at Japanese and have gotten "ok" with learning Hangul. Is it tricky to pick up Korean?
I'll take any info or help I can get. I'm kind of stressed about the whole thing because I've only had about a months notice about the move.
BUMP, wanna see people answer this (I'm not OP)
Why are you moving there? What are you going to do?
Also, what do you want to know? Here's a general rundown (I am Korean)
Korea is very focused on physical beauty, so appearance matter GREATLY. You're already dropping weight which is a good thing if you want a chance with the ladies there
Korean isn't very hard to learn, although the grammar structure is different (English has Subject-Verb-Object whereas Korean has Subject-Object-Verb) so literally translating sentences doesnt work.
I would recommend starting to learn Korean now because you can't learn any language in just a matter of days, especially one that doesn't use any Latin letters
Its literally impossible to lose 50 lbs in a month

If you're 400lbs it's not.
