Koreans: The Most Misunderstood Visitors in the Philippines
August 3, 2007Living in the US and getting to know different people from different cultures, this article does indeed point out that most Filipinos do indeed misunderstand the Koreans. Koreans tend to stick together (maybe because of they’re not comfortable with English as much) if they’re going out to eat, mall, etc. and this may have labeled them as the article states.
But I beg to differ, Filipinos in groups are also tend to be noisy too, especially tourists. And for some odd reason, Filipinos somehow learn to somewhat discipline themselves and obey the laws more when they go to other countries.
This seems to be the first time that there’s a lot of tourist in the Philippines and that’s why other people may feel uncomfortable about this, but tourist being “noisy and undisciplined” is quite the norm.
