EunYeong laughed a lot when saw the property prepared to make the photo.
> Is it really for the image of a typical Korean?
>> No, it is a picture of a Korean, how it is imagined by Russian youth. It is not a true image,just a stereotype.
What do Russians still think of Korea?- Koreans are wearing eyeglasses and want to look cute on all photos. [and instead of saying 'cute' Russians use 'kawaii']
- Koreans are eating rice, noodles, and dog meat [do the dogs exist on the peninsula?- asked my friend]
- Koreans produce nice technical stuff. And Samsung computers are pretty good ones! However I prefer HP [comment by another friend of mine]
- One young man started to philosophise: I love Korean cars. and when I think tat the cars are good, this type of thinking automatically transfers to the country itself, I like the country as well. I really want to get one of the Hyundai, KIA, or Subaru cars... [NO COMMENTS]
- "When I think of Korea first that I imagine is a triangular hat" [the one that Chinese and Vietnamese farmers were wearing centuries ago???]
There is
nothing wrong with not knowing much about others. But should you agree that
when you personally face the ignorance towards your fatherland, a very
unpleasant feeling of frustration strikes you, provoking outrage. Don’t blame
those being in the dark about your country. Better change the situation by first
asking about their origin, provoking their reactive interest in yours. Learn
from each other, crash stereotypes, spread the true word.
