We went to some African restaurant in Seoul to try it out. Suddenly a guy with a camera introduced himself that he is recording for some TV show about restaurants with foreign food in Seoul.
He asked if he could record me, but to praise the food and say how amazing it is. They like to show foreigners praising food on TV here.
Anyway my stake was burned so I had to lie about why this is a good thing and why it is so amazing.
Not the point of your story, but nationalism is fucking stupid. There’s good shit in/about your country, there’s bad shit in/about mine and vis versa. Where you happened to be born shouldn’t matter; when in doubt, be honest…
