What I like about Americans
Even though there are many things I don't like about Americans totally base on my tortured stereotype, there is a few things I do like about them. It seems that they don't care very much about what the other people think what they are. In other words, they don't pay much attention to other person's view unless they get disturbed. Someone might say that is a little bit selfish, but Korean people sometimes cares too much about other people's subjective perspectives, especially for their appearance. When I step in my college, sometimes I'm not sure I'm in the right place. Most of the students dress really well like they are in the fashion show. Girls never carry back pack, and even boys started to carry tote bags these days. The clothes they wear and the bags they carry looks nice but very uncomfortable. I don't know to where this society is going. Is appearance really that important? I used to think that I'm not those kind of person, but this social atmosphere has been changing what I am. I started to look more often at mirror, take a look around if I were under dressed. I hope that I can overcome this problems and can live my own life without compromising what I am.

That's definitely something that has struck me about Korean culture: everyone seems very conscious of his or her appearance. I never saw so many people checking mirros all the time! I prefer the American style, but I'm a little biased because I grew up there :)
