Asian Stereotypes

I think it's good be an Asian person sometimes, or more importantly Korean. The general view or misconception of Koreans are that are extremely stubborn and proud. Personally this trait might have emerged because of a natural demand for determination. A small advice is to never make a Korean or KAD annoyed, irritated or angry since that most likely will result in that stubborness and determination getting activated.


Many Asians, if not most Asians are born with double eyelids and small round noses. Because of this the most common surgical procedure apart from liposuction is double eyelid reconstruction and nose operations.

Or so I've been told... (which means this observation could be totally incorrect)

I think Korea might be more concerned with Korean stereotypes and achiving ideal beauty , at least compared to Sweden. But Sweden isn't totally free from stereotypes however I think that Swedish ideal beauty is something else than Korean ideal beauty.  This could possibly seem a bit provocative and biased, I'm totally aware of that fact. Hopefully you'l forgive me for this...


Now that I start to think about it, I remember what foreigners generally say about Swedes and more particularly Swedish women... Swedish women is supposedly known for dressing unladylike, and in comparison Korean women are far more feminine and ladylike.

But whould you expect women to wear short miniskirts and high heels in - 25 C degrees? Not many I suppose and hope, followed below is a list of some Swedish designers;
  • Acne
  • Odd Molly
  • Filippa K
  • Svea
  • Cheap Monday
Swedish clothes and designers naturally seems to be more focused on making functional clothes with consideration to the Scandinavian climate.

Today I was finally able to install Korean keyboard, but still haven't quite figured out which key produces what letter... But that's at least a start.
