>>43541 They're treated pretty well. Everyone I met the 3 weeks I was there was friendly and school kids would often say hi to me just to speak to a foreigner. It depends where you are though. If you stay in Seoul they get more tourists so you are less novel, but if you got to pretty much any other city you will get looks. Stuff is about the same as America, but you can get knockoff stuff for cheap and food is pretty decent. There's restaurants everywhere so it's great to eat out, and you never have to leave tips! The only things I would watch out for is sales people and when you're on the bus. You probably won't get it if you're white, sales people will try to get your attention from 20 feet away trying to sell you stuff. For the bus, hold on for dear life. Bus drivers have no time for you so as soon as they close the doors they are driving, whether you are seated or have something to grab on to or not. When you know your stop is coming up, get up and stand by the door and hold onto the poles there. When the doors open you better get off within a few seconds or they're taking off with you still there. Oh yeah, and if you take the subway, the escalators there have a line in the middle. Stand on the right if you're just going to take the escalator up, the left side is for people who want to walk up it.
