If you want to say which country the Chinese don't like the most, then South Korea is definitely one of them! There is a saying on the Internet that China and Japan rely on South Korea, China and South Korea rely on Japan, and Japan and South Korea rely on China." I don't have a very good impression of Korea, but I still have a good impression of Korean tourists, although not as polite as Japanese people, but at least on the surface it looks pretty good. Recently, I traveled to Korea for a while, and the Newbie Program asked me to tell you about the real Korea! 
1. When I came out of the airport, I was stunned. Japan and Korea are both exotic, but they give me very different feelings. After all, there are a lot of kanji in the Japanese language, so Japan doesn't feel so strange to me. As for South Korea, due to the de-Chinese characters in South Korea, the Chinese characters here are almost extinct, and even the capital of South Korea, Seoul, has been changed to Seoul.
2. Korean beauties, especially on the streets of Seoul, are indeed everywhere, but this beauty mainly comes from their "packaging". Makeup is a social etiquette in South Korea, and appearance is a plus at school, at work, or in the dating market. The girls have been learning makeup since their school days and are highly skilled. In addition, the beauty industry is now very developed, so beauty has become a norm.
On the streets of Seoul, girls as young as six or seven years old and as young as teenagers are all wearing delicate makeup! Her dressing style is all-encompassing, including European and American, Japanese, and Korean. In winter, you can also see beautiful women in shorts and short skirts, as if they are not afraid of the cold wind.
3. The Mid-Autumn Festival in South Korea has a very similar atmosphere to our Spring Festival! At this point in time, the ** in big cities has decreased significantly, and everyone has gone home for the New Year. It is a very high etiquette for Koreans to give Hanbou as gifts to relatives and friends.
In Korean restaurants, as soon as they sit down, they will bring out a lot of side dishes, such as kimchi, pickles, cold dishes, soup, braised pork, and ......dried fishThere are a dozen things in everyone.
You may wonder why you put so many side dishes?
The reason is very simple, about 500 yuan per capita, but in fact, the meat that can be divided is not too much, and it is about the size of a row of large rows, so there will be so many side dishes.
4. In terms of work, employees in the Korean service industry, such as supermarkets, generally work eight to twelve hours a day and take four days off a month. As for the staff, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., they are closed on weekends. In general, employees work from 9 to 6, 5 days and have about 20 days of annual leave.
5. In South Korea, the minimum wage per hour is 960 won (49 won), and this standard applies to the whole of South Korea. In terms of monthly wages, based on 209 hours per month, the monthly minimum wage is about $10,100. Such as convenience store clerks, restaurant waiters, sanitation workers, etc., with a monthly income of 10,000-13,000 yuan. Chefs and pastry chefs earn $14,000 a month.
As for food delivery, the income is even higher, ranging from 13,500 to 20,000. Technical positions, such as mechanical repairers, welders, carpenters, architectural designers, software engineers, and many more, earn relatively well. For example, if you install an air conditioner at home, you only need to work for half an hour, and the labor cost is as high as 600 yuan. In South Korea, the wages of manual work are relatively high, and the daily wage of a small construction worker can reach **100 yuan.
6. South Korea is a fast-growing country, but I don't see anything to envy.
Historically, both the former Goryeo and Joseon were vassal states of the Central Plains Dynasty and did not have a fully independent state. After half a century of Japanese colonial rule, it became a vassal of the United States after World War II. Thanks to the vigorous assistance of the United States, South Korea took the opportunity of Japan's industrial transfer to shift from light industry to heavy industry and electronics, creating the "miracle of the Han River" that attracted worldwide attention, and once ranked among the four Asian tigers.
In the 1960s, South Korea's GDP per capita was only $100, reaching $6,500 in the 1990s and more than $20,000 in 2005. However, South Korea's geographical location is too poor, resources are poor, and major industrial raw materials are imported. In the past 20 years, South Korea's exports to China have increased by 47 times, and China has become South Korea's largest country and South Korea's largest export market.
The history of Korea is full of tragedy. In the face of a formidable enemy, they are more likely to surrender than to resist。Koreans are afraid of being underestimated and often show a strong presence on the international stage. In the case of the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea, South Korean players used fouls and malicious penalties to knock out Italy and Spain, but such a victory did not shame them, on the contrary, it was an honor.
8. After staying in Korea for a while, I am more and more surprised, no wonder so many people look down on foreign culture in Korea, especially they dare to take out the world heritage as a world heritage, which makes many people very disappointed, but there are 14 world heritage sites in South Korea. What's even more surprising is that South Korea has also successfully applied for the Dragon Boat Festival, while China has been forced to apply for the Dragon Boat Festival in the name of "Dragon Boat Festival" because of South Korea's leading English name. Therefore, when the international community mentions the Dragon Boat Festival, people will not think of the traditional Chinese festival, but the Dragon Boat Festival of South Korea. In addition, South Korea has also declared intangible cultural heritage such as "movable type printing" and "tug-of-war".
We have to ask: why is South Korea so keen to blend in with Chinese culture and treat it as its own?
Personally, I think that Korean culture is relatively shallow and sensitive to foreign cultures!
The Korean language itself is a good example. Korean not only contains a large number of Chinese characters, but also a blend of Japanese and Western loanwords. The phonetic characters of the Korean language originated in the Middle Ages of the Korean Yi Dynasty, and because they were not used for a long time, there were many loopholes. For example, in Korean, "Cheng" and "Zheng" are written as " This requires Chinese characters to make up for the lack of language, so Koreans have Chinese characters in their "ID cards".
Coffee is also a foreign product, and Koreans' love for coffee has reached an overwhelming level, drinking more coffee per capita than in Western countries, and drinking coffee is as easy as drinking water. The same goes for cheese, which is added to many foods in Korea and even used as dipping sauces.
Jajangmyeon, rice cakes, and kimchi are all Koreans' favorite foods. Kimchi, in particular, is firmly believed to have originated in Korea, and even asked for the entry "kimchi originated from China" to be removed from the encyclopedia. In fact, Korean kimchi is extracted from our spicy cabbage. Behind this cultural "possession" there is also a drive of economic interests.
South Korea is also trying to market its East Asian culture in the hope of making a big success in the Western market. South Korea has a weak cultural heritage, and it is impossible to innovate on the basis of absorbing Chinese culture like Japan, so they often copy it! This direct cultural imitation can even lead to cultural misunderstanding and confusion. For example, "Dongyi Baojian", South Korea has successfully declared a world cultural heritage.
9. Generally, a pound of Chinese cabbage is 15-18 yuan, and it can rise to 60 yuan a pound in winter. The roadside watermelon seller sells for about 30 yuan, and a large watermelon in the supermarket costs more than 100 yuan, but there are many varieties and good taste. 3 kg of good oranges is about 60 yuan, and 5 kg of general varieties is about 70-80 yuan. Radishes cost 6 to 10 yuan, potatoes are more expensive, 100 grams are sold for 2 yuan, that is, 10 yuan a catty.
10. Due to land restrictions, South Korea's local beef and pork** are high**, and poultry and some imported food** are low**. The price of local Korean beef (beef tenderloin) is 250 yuan a catty, imported beef is 70 yuan a catty, and beef rolls are 60 yuan a catty. Local pork (front and hind legs) is 15-20 yuan per catty, and pork belly and pork neck are 60-80 yuan per catty.
The cost of eating in a restaurant in Korea is relatively high. Small street shops for one meal start at 30 yuan, and the quality of the meal is much better at 60 yuan. A high-end Chinese meal costs four or five hundred yuan for one person.
As we all know, Koreans like to eat kimchi, barbecue, and bibimbap, but in fact, Koreans love kimchi soup the most. Kimchi soup has a wide variety of ingredients and a unique flavor. Ginseng chicken soup, which originated in Chinese cuisine, became a representative dish in the imperial court after it was introduced to Korea, and gradually entered the people. Usually the chicken is the main ingredient, and the chicken belly is filled with glutinous rice, red dates, chestnuts, wolfberries, Korean ginseng and other ingredients, and the cooked meat is tender and fragrant, and the rice fragrance and medicinal fragrance are overflowing.
11. In terms of housing, South Korea implements the "all-tax housing" system, that is, a large deposit is paid at one time, and a full refund is made at the end of the lease period, and there is no need to pay rent during the period, and the water and electricity bills are borne by themselves. For example, a two-bedroom and one-hall all-tax house can be paid in a lump sum of 600,000 yuan, and then there is no need to pay rent. After leaving, I will give you 600,000.
