But it's not like that. They do that same thing in every subject in school. Or, they don't think English is important for them, because when they go to university English won't be necessary. So they would rather save their time and energy. So in the end it had nothing to do with me. I wasn't looking at the big picture. You learn that or you stay angry and never enjoy your life in a foreign country. In the end it's up to you. I'm not saying adapt completely, but you have to make some compromises and sacrifices. If there is another party involved, maybe when they see you do that, they will also compromise on their end so you can meet at the middle.

Both countries emphasize learning English, and absolutely love foreigners. At the same time, you might feel isolated because people won't tell you all the news (or even news that affects you, even) or sometimes even forget about you (more likely to happen if you have a separate room from the rest of the teachers). You can't take things personally when you teach abroad. There are way too many cultural differences for you to act selfish and get angry because you think something is disrespectful. Hey, sometimes maybe it is really disrespectful. But Most of the time that you assume, it's much more complicated than that, or you are tunnel-visioned and your ego needs to calm down. One example is when students don't want to participate in your class, they just sleep, or if you ask them questions they refuse to say anything. I used to think that they hated me or were being rude.

...but I don't think you're that kind of person. Please let me know if I'm wrong :) Living in Korea and Japan are quite different, with some similarities. For example, you can't drink tap water in Korea (or you really shouldn't) because their piping is outdated. The country exploded economically that it hasn't had the time to update its older infrastructure. Working in Japan and Korea are pretty similar. You might want to study body language and gestures for both countries though, they are quite different. Bowing is universal in Asia, but things like always using 2 hands to accept, give things in Korea is absolutely crucial. Other than that, working silently in a room full of teachers is pretty common in both countries. I think in terms of last minute schedule changes, Korea is pretty notorious for that. I guess there are key differences now that I'm thinking them out loud.

In terms of 'not having to adapt' by meeting foreigners in your area, yes and no. If you are in a smaller, rural location it'd be hard to find teachers near you. But in the end, you have to adapt. Otherwise you would become the very 'immigrant' that everyone hates in your home country. Never friendly, always keeping to themselves, forcing their own ideas and ways on other people, never trying to enjoy or experience a different culture that may or may not be amazing if you give it a chance. But if you don't give anything (music, games, tv, language, food, etc) a chance then it would make me wonder what the fuck you're doing in a foreign country in the first place. If you are one of these people, I'm sorry but I will have to end our conversation right here.

Lol I never said anything about Tokyo now, don't get ahead of yourself. Haha jk. Though I've never lived there I have been there before and I know enough about Japanese culture (which would apply to Japanese people in Tokyo by default) that I can probably tell you about a few things that might be interesting. Living somewhere else for one month absolutely doesn't count. Because when you live long-term, you don't have to think about changes that occur with seasons, you don't see the traditions the country has to offer in a year, and if you work in a different country it makes things even more complicated. Insurance for example. Then there's the discomfort of not having many dentists and doctors around you that can communicate with you with a decent level of English, or not being able to read labels on the things you buy. And being away from your family and friends for 1 month is nothing like being away from them for 12 (unless you visit half way through your contract).

What other countries are you thinking about teaching in? I can give you some general info about Japan as well.

What do I like? The independence, the people are nice (but every school is different and has different dynamics), just experiencing the different culture, it's awesome. You have to be open to change and have a willingness to try things out here, though, or else you're not experiencing the 'true' culture, you would just be a foreigner trying to fit in and failing, or a foreigner trying to force their views and opinions on Koreans. And that just won't work out.
