From my understanding, Asian countries don't hire outside for professional positions like nurse. For Korea specifically I read that for a foreigner to be hired in a non English teaching position, the company would have to prove/provide explanation to the government as to why a Korean citizen could not fill that role. I don't think they're lacking in Korean nurses, so there's no way that visa would be approved. (Now it can definitely be argued that there are qualified Korean teachers fluent in English who can fill these teaching roles, but they are fixated on teachers being from an English speaking country, mostly for appearance sake I think)I agree, her nursing degree would get her a better pay in some parts of Asia than in the UK.
Hi ahh Naomi was raised in Florida amoung Haitians and Afrcan Americans she knew nothing of Japan till 5 years ago when her sponsors got her Japanese family to finally accept her family before then they did not accept them cause they were Black she has more in common with her Haitian side than her Japanese side that's why there's growing resentment towards her because she supports BLM and she's seen as weak for talking about her mental state.Yes, she should have done her research because this is the same ole', same ole' story. These countries can have racist attitudes the blacker you are. This is a fact; they do discriminate, there are no equal right laws even based on xes or race, etc.
Until the Koreans who are black who were born and raised in Korea speak out and get involved with changing how their country perceives them, then nothing will change. But like many Asians, these black Koreans are probably afraid of standing against the status quo; they probably want to save face. I don't even think Naomi Osaka ever used her platform to bring awareness to racism that black Japanese people face.
Black Americans, black foreigners, this is not our battle; not our country. This the fight of the black Koreans who are growing up there and who are becoming the future, the youth, the now!

Teaching is the easy option to be able to make decent enough money to travel Asia on your time off and even have some leftover for the savings account. The 1 year contracts are attractive to both parties as its not such a long-term commitment. If you're of the mindset "I'm just gonna make money and travel and ignore the bµllsh!t" it can be a great plan. BUT if you go the hagwon route you have to be upfront that you're not one to play around with paychecks, or they will try it. They have no business plan or principles except making a buck and saving a buck.
Cambodia is a hell hole. Stay Away! Nothing to see. Angkor Whaaat??!Literally just posted this! It's so true. Plus, places like Thailand, Cambodia, etc. seem more interesting, anyway.
Ok, if she just graduated and is on her GAP then that makes sense.I think she’s British from her accent.
I agree, her nursing degree would get her a better pay in some parts of Asia than in the UK.
Maybe because of Covid and how stressful it has been for the past year and half she opted out.
She just graduated, it also sounds like she just took a gap year to enjoy life and traveling before starting her “real, adult life” in the UK.

Naomi was born in Japan and has citizenship; I am unsure if she has given it up yet. She, herself, says she relates more to being Japanese than American. Her speaking on BLM is fine; everyone and their grandma does in the USA. However, I have yet to see her do any similar racial interviews in Japan in Japanese to a Japanese audience. Even she is afraid of breaking face.Hi ahh Naomi was raised in Florida amoung Haitians and Afrcan Americans she knew nothing of Japan till 5 years ago when her sponsors got her Japanese family to finally accept her family before then they did not accept them cause they were Black she has more in common with her Haitian side than her Japanese side that's why there's growing resentment towards her because she supports BLM and she's seen as weak for talking about her mental state.
Naomi was a simple example; I'm sure there are other black Japanese who could also use their platforms to educate and innovate their country's laws and perceptions on race and equality.damn is she even old enough to drink? It’s never too early to do the right thing but the poor child has enough pressure and mental health struggles and folks want to put everything on her back.
i. you know what they say...She isn’t very bright. There’s a video of her getting her hair dyed blond in Korea also.
i feel like the hype is dying down. this kpop craze will be looked back as cringy. even koreans know their country is boring and not culture rich like china or japan. seems very american.The interest in Korea is interesting. I think it shows the power of the media, like K dramas and K pop, etc. because if it weren't for those things, I don't see Korea being as popular of a destination as it is. The thing is, as with all things media and entertainment, these shows and music videos present a very polished and unrealistic version of the country. To each their own, though...
I’d rather go to vietnam or thailand over east asia. cheaper.Literally just posted this! It's so true. Plus, places like Thailand, Cambodia, etc. seem more interesting, anyway.
What's wrong with Cambodia? The temples are the main reason I would want to visit and their annual water festival.Cambodia is a hell hole. Stay Away! Nothing to see. Angkor Whaaat??!
Here is some perspective for others that want to explore Asia.
Laos- Not much to see. Last time I was there they were trying to build a corniche to attract tourism. They still had a lot of land mines.
Vietnam- Beautiful country and awesome food, but the vibe is a little different than Thailand. People are more serious. Very cheap and luxury travel well worth it.
Thailand- is the friendliest and since it is the most popular you will have plenty of westerners to hang out with......which makes it super fun! It can be like the movie ....The Beach.
Philippines & Bali- Same vibe as Thailand and affordable.
Omg, you do not get treated like a celebrity! Don’t go there expecting this and exploiting poor Thais. You FEEL like a celebrity because the USD is very strong and you can easily afford things LIKE a celebrity!
The Big 3: China, Japan and S. Korea.....they are very different countries, cultures, food and people. It is like saying L.A, New Orleans, NYC....very different tourism vibes as well!
I suggest booking a tour your first time, because there is a lot to cover. I really like all 3!
The last 2 are Nepal & Tibet- Love Kathmandu! Both super affordable and good for Jewelry shopping at local prices....jade, gold, traditional tea trays, etc..........and, mountain hiking trips. (Mt. Everest & Annapurna)
If you can only go to 1 and want to party, beach, spa, food and shopping Thailand or Bali.
Between China, Japan & S. Korea.....pick by what food you like best. All 3 countries have a lot to offer Tourism wise.
Or maybe they just personally find the country to be cool and interesting? Why would you come to this weird conclusion?Is it a fantasy that you'll be well-loved around other CoLoReD PeOpLe?
She also has Korean bf she is so proud of. There are group of black girls who grew up on kpop and k. Dramas and are in love with the thought of going to Korea and get a Korean guy. She can’t go there to be a nurse as she don’t know the language, so she through that to the side and went to Korea the only way she couldSo a trained nurse went to Korea to be an English teacher ... why?
Yes, she should have done her research because this is the same ole', same ole' story. These countries can have racist attitudes the blacker you are. This is a fact; they do discriminate, there are no equal right laws even based on xes or race, etc.

I don't understand what you mean by this comment. Fighting for rights takes times but there is a whole generation of black Koreans who are in their 20s and 30s who were born, raised, and lived all of their lives in Korea. No, changes won't come over night but the notion of it, I hope, is being thought of and spoken of in Korea as I type this.Easier said than done. Unless their father is Korean, I don't see any changes coming around the horizon.

Her first advice is not to work at a Hagwon.
She went to Korea with her two best friends and she is a nurse.
The goal for all three of them was to take a year off work and travel across Asia.
Her next piece of advice is to choose your recruiter wisely and do not settle.
She was living in Shihen and far away from her two best friends.
The expectations on foreign teachers are really high.
They expect you to teach people to be fluent in English in two months.
The pay is really.
Schools closed down because of Corona Virus.
In Korea, having a E2 Visa only allows you to teach English with your contracted job.
You can't have a second job.
When she got days off, they called her every hour to continue teaching students English via telephone.
Which meant she was working way more than the normal requirement.
At the end of the month on payday, she message the boss because she did not get paid.
The boss send a paragraph reply about not being able to pay up because of Corona Virus.
She did some digging and found out that there is a labor law that protects people i these kinds of situations in Korea.
The employer is required to pay up 70% of your salary even if you did not work.
She lets the boss know very nicely about what she found out about the law.
Boss said the money will be in her account on Monday.
She was paid US$800 is way less than the 70% requirement,
The other staff was getting their full pay.
The boss manipulated her by saying that she would take care of her like her own mother.
She had to finally ask herself why is she staying in Korea when she is not getting paid by her job.
She told the boss that she is quitting.
The boss told her that she would pay her.
She still had three months left in her contract and decided to stay.
She list a bunch of reasons not to work at Hagwon.
She can't understand how they have the audacity to bring her to Korea to work and then not pay her.
She has other foreign friends who ran into the same issue about not being paid.
And when they took it up with the authorities, they were told to go back to their countries.
She found a better job in a better area and decided to say on in Korea.
She regrets allow herself to be treated like sh!t for three months.
First, teaching at English-Centers is horrible. But, this is where they place you without proper credentials. No teachers degree, no professional ESL experience, etc. They are basically tutoring centers and the owners want to make lots of money.
English-Centers are for people ‘who want to make quick money’ to travel Asia! Lol!
Looks like S. Korea pays monthly just like China. This is kinda intimidating for an American used to getting paid weekly or biweekly.......and, you are doing tons of hours ‘upfront.’
Don‘t know if this girl is American....just read the cliffs.
Why is she teaching....anyways? Asia is dirt cheap!
Her nurse salary should be able to afford her the Asia travel without teaching ‘emperor syndrome brats’ at some Korean English-Center!
This is is not because she is black. You hear these horror stories all the time.
It is a shady Recruiter or English-Center problem.
Unacceptable teachers apartments, firing you before your contract is up so they don’t have to pay for your ticket home, shortchanging salary, unwanted overtime, and even arrests and deportations due to illegals schools and therefore your work visa is fake.
She is very pretty. Hope she enjoyed her Asia travels. Fun times!
They even had teachers died and the schools refused to cooperate with the authorities.
What the lady’s channel?I have nothing against Korea, I just find it weird how most black women travel there, if travelling to other countries were as equal as travelling to Korea, I wouldn't have said anything but it's just mostly Korea I see. Especially when they said they had bad experiences I knew of one who travelled to Korea, didn't enjoy her time, wasn't the right place for her mental health left then went back a year later, still didn,'t like it then left and went back again then she left and decided Korea wasn't for her and stopped going. Another one I know she had a korean male best friend, guy said if it wasn't for him she wouldn't have that many views (most of her subscribers were black people who wanted to go to Korea)and subscribers, she didn't believe.
He was hitting her on videos, later xesually assaulted her (his mom was very nice to her tho) she left Korea, continued videos without him and she lost a lot of subscribers and the guy gained subscribers on his youtube channel.
It'sMeNeisha, she made another youtube channel tho "Arneisha" and is currently using that one. She deleted the video explaining what happenedWhat the ladies channel?
what's his new channel?It'sMeNeisha, she made another youtube channel tho "Arneisha" and is currently using that one. She deleted the video explaining what happened
I'm sorry I can't remember all his information was in the video's comment section subscribers shared which she later deleted but what I do know is his channel is very weird (he has this government trump supporter vibe)what's his new channel?
silly tea...that must be terrible to do all that work and still not get your hard earn money...many negative experiences in korea for foreigners...it not all sunshine so I would never put myself in that situation.
Those temples worship demon idol gods of Lucifer. You best stay away from them if you don't want to serve devils.What's wrong with Cambodia? The temples are the main reason I would want to visit and their annual water festival.
I really find that weird to go to another country for only a man. That's just sounds desperate and lustful at the same time. Instead of just letting God choose their help mate, these women lust over men to travel out of their way for a man to seek out their flesh. I think that is just wrong and crazy in so many ways.She also has Korean bf she is so proud of. There are group of black girls who grew up on kpop and k. Dramas and are in love with the thought of going to Korea and get a Korean guy. She can’t go there to be a nurse as she don’t know the language, so she through that to the side and went to Korea the only way she could
What the lady’s channel?
ETA: spelling error
foolsIt's definitely a fantasy...they too busy watching kdramas not knowing that some koreans treat foreigners like sh!t especially the negroes...
...this could have all been avoided by doing research...they f*ck silly caucasian people over too...been trashing hagwons for decades...has nothing to do with being black...met an Australian guy who was fired from one because the company wanted them to have a North American accent (parental preference).
Notice the people that rated me down for speaking the truth on here. Don't think I don't know that many of you are into witchcraft. You serve Lucifer by doing so as well. With the satanic pentagram that you witches uses to do your rituals. Only fools would rate the truth down.Those temples worship demon idol gods of Lucifer. You best stay away from them if you don't want to serve devils.
