Czech vsĀ New Zealand vs Korea - 3 pros and cons
Having lived in Czech for most of my life, 3 years in NZ and briefly visited Korea but lived with my Korean / NZ girlfriend, I came up with three pros and cons for each country that stick out most for me in regards to living.
1) Relaxed - in terms of living and working.
2) People take stuff seriously just enough.
3) Small cities, a lot of villages, quite nice contrast.
1) People in general do not live healthy lives (alcohol, smoking, eating crap).
2) Manners are hard to find.
3) Not multicultural country, yet.
1) Multicultural, integrated environment.
2) Infrastructure (toilets, etc.)
3) Changes fast inĀ a good way.
1) British settlers are a bit hard to bond with (as for any islanders I guess).
2) Everything is private, fenced and paid.
1) Food, Koreans from all the nations I have met seem to have the best food habits and they take their food very seriously.
2) Manners, respect, elders, community. In a way this creates really nice respectful environment which has also its cons.
3) Health conscious - even though I am not sure how much this really is, Koreans seem to be well concerned about their health.
1) Work style - Koreans are working way too hard. To the point that it is greatly influencing their lives.
2) Strange government decisions / affairs I have heard about - SEWOL ferry might be the best well known example.
3) Tough life for kids from my point of view but the kids might be actually enjoying it. Big competition for sure.
