i have 3 korean colleagues in our company. we normally meet every year for our regional conference. but we normally exchange email, talk on the phone, and chat on a regular basis. i don't find them arrogant. sila pa yung accomodating and generous pag nagkikita kami. hilig manlibre and they give gifts.

since yung mga koreans na mention dito eh nakatira sa pinas, they know na pinoys eh mabait and magalang sa mga foreigners so they eventually took advantage of it. tama nga yung sabi nung iba, ang bilis nilang magpatakbo, ive seen some of them. yung isa nga hinahabol pa nung pulis. grabe!

Mababait naman ang korean. These are some of many disturbing attitudes:

5.) I haven't seen one and I DONT WANT TO SEE ANYTIME SOON -- I saw/heard this from news: they don't shave armpits, they grow it... Shaving means prostitute. THough there are countries that think similar. Sanay kasi tayo mga pinoy sa malinis.

Again, mababait mga Korean. Mga nakita ko lnag sa kanila yan...

nakita ko dati sa ateneo (mid-90's) while in college. maputi, makinis...pwede na sana kaso pagtingin namin may buhok. eewwww. nyehehehe

sa gym naman, some of the girls noticed this among the korean girls while inside their locker room:
some of the girls there after using the treadmill would go straight into the sauna without any removal of clothing. pagkatapos, ligo (parang shower lang na walang sabon) then wear the same clothes na ginamit sa treadmill and sauna, tapos lalabas ng locker. ayush...

[shadow]

most of them thinks and feels that they are better than filipinos, kaya ganun sila, just don't allow them to do that to us in our own country, sapukin mo tapos sabihin mo " you're in the phils, a*#hole!"

nakakapag init ng ulo iyang UNK...

yung nabilhan namin ng lote eh Korean yung asawang lalaki...noong ipinakita ko yung letter of guarantee ng Citibank para sa pagbili ng lote nila eh ayaw tanggapin at pinagdudahan ako...kulang na lang eh sipain ako palabas ng opisina niya...tingin niya sa pinoy eh puro manloloko...sabi kasi ng asawa yung mga kasamahan niya eh niloko na ng pinoy...

kinailangan pa namin mag meet sa citibank...after nila ipa-transfer sa pangalan namin yung titulo at iniabot namin yung check eh panay sorry ng asawang pinay...

sa loob loob ko lang eh e*al iyan asawa mo...akala mo eh kung sinong negosyante na siya lang ang may kakayahang bumili ng property

Hmm most women I see have shaved naman a, I guess modern na rin sila ngayon. Mas marami pa akong nakikitang pinay with week-old stubble blech!!!


Pero tama ka dehadista, pati mga classmates ko, recycled yung clothing. As in kung ano nakikita mo today, THE EXACT SAME THING the next day! HEHEHEHE

edit:
back to topic, npansin ko nga na iba mga ugali nila sa pinas compared sa korea.i think this is due to 3 reasons: (theory ko lang to ha)
1. they got burned here(or know someone who did) and are uber cautious
2. they are encouraged by pinoy/korean friends/relatives to be abusado, sinasabihan sila na they can do anything and get away with anything as long as they have money. Ganito professor ko, kinukwento sa mga classmate ko na lahat ng tao binibigyan nya lang ng 20 pesos at todo saludo na sa kanya with VIP treatment. kaya umaabuso. sinasabihan ko nalang sila na hindi totoo yon, para hindi sila umabuso pero syempre they beleive my professor kasi every year pumupunta yon dito at enjoy na enjoy si g*go.
3. lumalabas repressed feelings nila. sobrang bait nila sa korea kasi may national ID sila, if you mess up once, it goes on your permanent record, which an employer can access by inputting your national ID number. kaya mabait sila. pagdating dito, parang silang mga asong nakawala sa kulungan.

Not all koreans here are bad though, may mga kilala din akong mga OK. Like any people, may mga mababait at may mga masasama din

Naalala ko yung kwento ng 2 Koreano dito last year sa local daily.

Bumangga ang kotse ng 2 koreano malapit sa may bridge sa Loakan. Hindi sila nasaktan sa nangyari. Inutusan nung isang Koreano na tumawag ng tulong sa kasamahan nila.

so naiwan yung isa at binantayan ang sasakyan. Tumayo muna siya sa may sa gilid ng bangin habang nag aantay.

Nung dumating ang kasamahan niya (medyo madilim na), sinutsutan yung nagbabantay ng sasakyan. Nagulat daw ito at na out balance at nahulog sa bangin yung Koreano. Namatay siya sa pagkahulog sa bangin at hindi sa aksidente. (from Sunstar Baguio)...

bro, mukhang galit ka talaga sa koreans ah, napadiin yun click mo, na multiple post ka tuloy...hehhee

[diesoline]

tnx to all who replied. mabuhay kayo! nap (totoybato) tulong! hehehe! mabait sila sa yo kasi ang laki ng kaha mo!

like jigger, hindi ko rin sila nilalahat. i have some korean acquaintances and have been on a friendly nodding ( ganito hehehe!) basis with many of them for years now. in fact, i also love korean food, specially now that it's colder than usual here in baguio.

every race has its bad apples but then, i can't help but notice that rudeness is specially pronounced among their young people. chip may be right about the "repressed" part.

natawa ako dun sa comment ni gasjunkie na sinegunda ni alpha one. you guys may be right, there are no males of breeding age in their unit! M54, pagkakataon mo na, but her looks are a far cry from the pic you posted.

all is quiet for now. our maid saw UNK in the lobby yesterday waiting for her landlord. if she decides to move out, so much the better.

I had two Korean colleague before they were both retarded. Buti na lang they got fired.

[Jun aka Pekto]

Madalas kaming surut surutin ng mga barumbadong driver, pero di namin pinapansin, hehehe, isang trak na pasensya ang baon ko dati, pero dito, ibang usapan na yan. By the way Jun aka Pekto, di na kayo exempt sa mga traffic violation fines , yung bang mga naka 3- na plates since 2005 pa.

He He. I think I caught your drift. I walked during my time there. I can't blame the Koreans for being antagonistic (sometimes) towards Americans. There were plenty of "the ugly american" incidents over there. I see these GI's go to Itaewon, get drunk, and then cause trouble, especially the Army guys. I'd often see groups of them walk back from Itaewon noisy and rowdy. They'd vandalize store shops, tip and kick over motorcycles and bicycles and leave a long trail of puke (suka, yek!) from Itaewon all the way to the gates. Every weekend, it was always always the same thing. I've heard too of one drunken GI punching a taxi driver, all because the driver yelled at him for not paying his fare and just walking off. I can't blame them. They're in their country. They deserve the respect they're due.

That said, I did my best to be polite and 99.9% of them were polite and genuinely friendly to me. But, let me tell you about that 0.1%.

We were on the expressway headed northeast towards Chunchon in a HUMVEE turtle (has machinegun cupola on the roof). My driver was driving smartly so we don't have any incidents. We were on the fast lane passing a few cars when a cement mixer truck pulled up behind us and honked his horn at us telling us to go faster. I gestured at him, telling him to wait until we cleared the cars (no room on slow lane). We probably passed another 5 cars and then pulled into the slow lane. The cement mixer truck passed us. As it passed, I noticed the driver had a real ugly look on his face. He then pulled into the slow lane ahead of us and then .....he suddenly slammed the brakes!..... I don't care how tough a HUMVEE is. It's no match for a Korean cement mixer truck. So, my driver had to slam his brakes too to avoid hitting the cement mixer truck. I had my seatbelt on. But, I still hit my head on the windshield. Luckily I had my kevlar on. But I was pissed! All I saw was red.

I told my driver to overtake the truck which he did and pulled in front of the mixer driver. I got up on the cupola and was screaming abuse at the Korean driver. I then yelled at him, "See this? This is an M-16! (waving my gun at him). Then, I took a 30-round magazine full of blanks (the Korean didn't know that). I then yelled again at him, "See this magazine (waving it around)? That's right! It's got bullets in it! I then proceeded to lock and load while still yelling abuse. The next thing I did I regretted later, but not at that instant. I leveled my gun, took a bead at the Korean driver and got ready to fire a 3-round burst. The next thing I remember was the cement mixer slamming its brakes and swerving to a stop at a middle grass island.

Meantime, my driver was yelling, "What the h*ll are you doing! Get back down! I don't wanna go to jail!". I cooled off eventually. But, I never lost my cool like that again..... Only in Korea........

i also posted this incident over at PEX. one reply told me that i had encountered an ajumma and told the forumers to google the term. here's two that i consider particularly apt.

Say “ajumma” to any Korean and a picture will start forming in their minds. Most likely, this picture is not going to be a pretty one. A stereotypical ajumma is short and a bit dumpy, with hair worn short in either a tight (traditional) or wavy (more modern) perm. Short perms are so common among ajumma that newcomers to Korea might be forgiven for thinking that there must be a law requiring all women to cut their hair short and perm it when they get married.

Although the hair and other physical characteristic may be distinct, I think a large part of the negative image comes from the behavior of ajumma. Ajumma are the women who will shove you out of the way like an NFL lineman in order to get a seat on a bus or subway. They are terrors alone, but in a group they are unstoppable. Add some alcohol and/or music and you’ve got a party on your hands that will keep the neighbors awake all night.

At least, this is the stereotype, or part of it. In a word (or three), ajumma are uncouth, unattractive, and uncultured. They are considered strong individuals, but only because of all the crap they take from their husbands, children, and in-laws. After having been dumped on by society for so many years, when their day finally comes, you had better believe they are going to take advantage of it. Nothing is going to stand in their way.

Avoiding the Stigma of Being an 'Ajumma'

The Korean word “ajumma” means a married woman or woman old enough to get married, but it has negative connotations when used in everyday life. Few women would be pleased when they hear someone calling them “ajumma” from behind. Some would just pretend not to hear and walk faster in the belief that it cannot possibly mean them, while others may get upset and ask the caller, with a shrill edge to their voice and a wobble of the head, what makes him or her so sure that they are married. The Chosun Ilbo has a handful of tips on avoiding such vicissitudes altogether.



Situation 1 : On the bus or subway

The ajumma tends to step on someone’s foot and give them a dark look when they say “ouch” instead of apologizing. She is not ashamed of nudging someone’s bottom with an umbrella on the bus or subway to occupy a seat, and weighing down a person next to her by not taking hold of a handle in a joggling bus or train. What is worse, she shouts into her cell phone so everyone around can hear, and it is never even about serious matters. A lady, by contrast, says sorry when she breezes past, and is told it’s all right in reply: the magic word. Strictly speaking, it is pukkah to refrain from talking on your mobile altogether in a public place. If you get to get a call, keep it short and call back later.

Situation 2: In the health center or sauna

The ajumma shows no consideration for others. She takes her time in using a massage machine at a health center even if there are people lining up to use it. She also tries to butter up young trainers. She offers to buy lunch or dinner for them or asks them to analyze her body composition to have a moment with them without good reason. In the sauna, should the ajumma let out a fart and people stare at her, she will just leave without saying sorry. Ladies show respect to everyone, even their juniors. They are well aware of etiquettes in public places. They tend to be strict with themselves and generous to others: with ajumma it is the other way round.

Situation 3: Shopping

When shopping in a flea market, the ajumma does not hesitate to throw money short of the price at the vendor without saying a word. Even when she shops for expensive items, she first tries to haggle the price down to half rather than checking other services offered. She treats staff at gas stations or restaurants with contempt because she thinks that makes them think she is a big fish. In addition, the ajumma is so vulgar that she buys expensive designer clothes without batting an eyelid but tries to save money on the hairdresser. Ladies do not seek a discount at all cost. They know to be frugal, but haggling is not their style: instead, they negotiate, taking the seller’s position and the situation into account. Tipping does not make you a lady, but saying thank you and being civil does.

Are you an ajumma? A checklist, somewhat slanted to the men’s point of view.

1. Do you have a potbelly?
2. Do you carry a big handbag that looks like a diaper carrier?
3. Do you fail to keep your hair tidy?
4. Do you tuck your underwear in properly?
5. Do you throw your bag on an empty seat to secure it when you get on a bus or subway?
6. Do you talk loudly on the phone in public?
