Korea vs America

     As I mentioned before, I was in Korea for my church's world mission report. I thought it would be fun to write down some differences between Korea and the US. I've sorted the list in the viewpoint of Korea, with good, neutral, and bad differences as categories.
Good

• Ice cream is cheaper.
• Ice cream is generally better.
• More traffic signs are lit. For example, chevron signs light up at night.
• From what I observed, there are better soccer fields and basketball courts.
• English is used a lot. I was surprised at how often signs had English and Korean.

Neutral

• There are no shower curtains. I put this as neutral because shower curtains are both good and bad. They are good because they prevent the whole bathroom from getting wet from the shower. They are bad because they get moldy.
• Most car windows are heavily tinted.
• Rice fields are everywhere.
• Coffee cafes are everywhere. I had some awesome coffee in Korea.
• People almost always park backwards.

Bad

• Koreans use washcloths as towels i.e. the towels are small.
• People pull over randomly and block traffic often.
• Pollution in Seoul is pretty bad, but there are places in America I'm sure are just as bad.
• The light switch to the bathroom is always outside of the bathroom. There were no exceptions. I assume this is because the shower has no curtain, so water could short the light switch. In any case, I put this in the bad category because people can turn the light off when you are in the bathroom.
• Many roads are too narrow.

     So that's all I could think of at this time. Keep in mind that I haven't been to a lot of places in either the US or Korea, so my list might not be 100% correct. I hope you enjoyed reading.
