People met on my backpacking 212 - Koreans' extreme kindness is not good.
.
Today's story is one of many I've heard from foreigners while traveling throughout the world. I heard that again from a Japanese person I met on our trip to Sapporo. It said 'Koreans are too kind.' The meaning is as follow.
.
"Koreans are too kind." It¡¯s a kind of high praise. Taking it seriously, it may be the opposite. They don't speak openly. They despise it when other people meddle with what they do. For example, if he doesn¡¯t want to eat or stroll down the street with you, he¡¯ll say "No." If he wishes, he¡¯ll say, "Ok." It¡¯s natural for them to cherish personal liberty, rights, honor, independence, and responsibility. They were trained to get up on their own if they fell. If you comprehend this, you'll get the true meaning of "Koreans are too kind."
.
Today's piece is also on this topic. We were waiting to catch a tram in Sapporo. A local man in his fifties was sitting next to me. At first, I said "Hello" in Korean. He said exactly the same thing in Korean. Many people in both the East and West now speak some Korean. Anyway, I told him we were tourists from Seoul and explained why we always use the tram when we visit Japan. Seoul also had trams in the 1950s and 1960s (stopped in 1968). I told him that I used to take a tram downtown Seoul.
.
He said, "I've been to Seoul several times." "Can you tell me whether you have any recollections from Seoul?" I asked him. HIs response was not as usual. It didn't match the phrase "memories." He stated that he used public transit in Seoul, like as subways and buses, and found it to be extremely clean and pleasant. Soon after, he expressed amazement at Seoul's subway announcement. He provided a few examples.
.
To put it clearly, his tale goes as follows. The air conditioning on the subway in Seoul was freezing, and the voice announcements from the speakers were very loud. ¡°Be careful when getting on or off the train, since the door is closing. The train is leaving soon. Please stand back safely. The exit door to get off is on the left (right). When you get off, please double-check again to see if you left anything.¡± And so on. This is essentially needless advise because it is up to the person.
.
In addition, the subway may be guided in two ways: by text message on the voice broadcast or screen. In most situations, the instructions are read briefly once. In my experience, several cities had no announcements or screens at all. Some trains just mentioned the name of a station (Turkey, Bulgaria, Egypt, Russia, etc.). When exiting the metro, the door did not always open immediately, as it does in Korea. The individual who got off hit the button to open and departed the door (Britain, France, Germany, Brazil, etc.).
.
Surprisingly, there are three types of signal systems placed on crosswalks in Seoul. These include traffic lights positioned at eye level, a sound guidance speaker that announces that you can cross since the blue light is lit up, and LED panel traffic lights mounted on the crossing queue floor. I've never seen a crosswalk floor that notifies folks red and green while also showing traffic signals on the ground.
.
The same is true for bicycle pathways in Seoul. The majority of them are fitted with steel railings. I've never seen something like this in any place, not only Sapporo, but even throughout Europe. Most of them have simply painted yellow or white lines between the roadways and bike routes. They advise you to drive carefully on your own. A similar phenomena may be observed in a variety of settings, including subway screen doors. A lot of money has been invested in this field. Even richer countries, considerably more wealthy than Korea, have not done so. It's the ultimate waste. Unless the government intends to turn Koreans into "eternal fool" (children), the situation should be changed quickly. It must be comparable to the national level.
.
If you look at the trams in Sapporo, you'll see that some are modern and some are quite ancient. It is the same sort of tram that existed in Seoul in the 1950s and 1960s. So I feel more intimate. I'd want to use the metro again in Seoul, if feasible. When I looked across the world, I saw that even large and complicated cities such as Seoul still used trams. (*United States, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Peru, China, Hong Kong, Turkey, Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, and others.)
