-
REPOST Alright, I don't have much time to type so I'll make short and sweet lol. I understand the cultural differences between S.Korea and USA. So I mean no disrespect from what I am about to ask. Im light-skinned African (born in America) I look what you may call 'Mulatto" The afro-sh curly hair and everything. and im about 5, 7" Being a foreigner, what should I expect in S.Korea. In what ways will I stand out? (besides the obvious things) I wont give me exact ago but lets say im part of the 'Younger" generation of people. Ages 13-25. Please give the cold truth. And also, I am overweight, I need to lose weight regardless if I want to visit Korea or not. What I want to know is how is weight looked at there? What are the average sizes available there? How does it compare here? What are some ways you may suggest that I can lose weight healthily and sufficiently? (sp) Add w/e else you may want to tell me. What to expect etc. Oh, and what is considered 'pretty' or 'expected' for girls? What is it that girls find attractive for guys and guys find attractive for girls? Thank you so much! please help me =)

Answer:
Ok from my experience i get a LOT of stares!!! I am white with a slight tan, about 5' 10" and I tower over most old people, taller than the girls/women, and about as tall as the guys/men. You may stand out more because i see more white people and less African american people. I live in Wonju which is on the small side of city size. If you are going to Seoul you have NOTHIG to worry about. There are sooo many different races, clothes, and languages walking the streets there! I have seen Koreans of all different sizes. Most clothes they make here are in the smaller sizes..you might find something larger, but i prefer to just order offline. The sizes here run in cm not inches. As far as losing weight it might actually be a little easier here. Korean food mostly consists of Veg. and rice. Most of their sweets are less sweet so i assume less sugar. You have to do a lot of walking to get almost anywhere. The fast food is less available, dont get me wrong it exists, but its not on every corner like it is in the states. I dont think they will stare at you because you are overweight...they will mostly stare because you are a foreigner. I asked one of my Korean friends why people stare at me alot and he says because i am a foreigner. I also (not to sound conceded) get told almost daily how beautiful i am. I consider myself to be an average american..part of the "younger generation" LoL. I dont really know what is considered attractive to them but im sure natural beauty anywhere in this world is an attraction. I also think manners and not smoking is the usual that is expected from girls. Hope i helped and if you have any more questions send an Email.

there are barely any person thats obese in korea unlike america when the population is like 15% obese? idk
i've been to korea, and i am also korean so here's what i think; since you are african american and taller than most asians, you will stand out you should expect korea to be not that different from america except there we ride buses/cabs/subways as our number one transportation and all the buildings are HUGEEE like some have 16 floors ! so those are a sight to see :] and the weight there is just like the weight here all the girls want to get skinnier when they already are.. the average sizes are the same as here and yea.. not much help for your other questions but hope i helped :D
