{{/usCountry}}Another questioned, “Is it difficult to socialise for someone who comes as a vegetarian to Korea? Since eating out in BBQ restaurants is a big part of their culture…does that make vegetarians feel left out when wanting to hang out with friends or colleagues?” Yadav replied, “I just don't hang out with them when they go and eat BBQ, so I don't know the feeling of being left out, haha.” A third expressed, “I have the same eating habits.”
However, a few were amazed by her fluent Korean. One wrote, “Your Korean is so good.”
