Korea is not going to be too comfortable for us whities right now.
''There are calls for a British citizen whoās being treated for Covid-19 in South Korea to be deported after he broke quarantine guideline, possibly spreading the virus while travelling through the country.
The man, said to be in his thirties, travelled to South Korea from Thailand. He was examined at the airport but showed no symptoms of coronavirus. He was told to spend 14 days in self-isolation.
Instead, he reportedly visited four different cities, coming into close contact with 23 people over five days. He developed symptoms during that time and went to a test centre where he was told, once again, to self-isolate until he received his results. However, he is believed to have played screen golf at a games centre right after.āā

Disagree. Everybody is still super friendly, no harassment whatsoever
Ever since I first visited Taipei 4 years ago a Male person older than a teenager has and will not sit next to me on Metro, I normally smile to them, an Asian look of embarrassment is the same as Western.
UK would become a ruck but doesnāt happen here, shame really I enjoy a bit of physical violence.
My guess is that theyāre picking up on your bad vibesā¦

I always thought maybe my evil smile 
I havenāt noticed anything different on the MRT. For years people have charged towards empty seats next to me, then done abrupt u-turns and scuttled away. Nothing has changed in that regard.
Apart from the only fools on the train not wearing masks are more than happy to plonk themselves down next to me.

It was one of the coin shops on Guling Road. Iād been there before a few years ago and the guy behind the counter was really nasty. This guy was just freaking out. Many of these shops buy and sell items of questionable provenance and Iāve noticed a certain suspiciousness whenever Iāve walked into some of them. I suspect one reason they donāt welcome outsiders is because they are fronts. There are a few that are super nice and friendly and of course they get my business.

Iāve seen guys walk in with bags of stuff to sell. Nothing wrong with that, but some of them were in a hurry. And the people involved were all hush hush about it. A few places have told me that they have nothing for sale even though the shops are full of things. And then thereās the sale of (in my opinion) fake coins from China as well as counterfeit stamps. Thatās a huge business. There are private collectors who are not too savvy but do spend a lot of money on this stuff. Perhaps itās one way for them to show off.

Most of them donāt deal in rare and precious coins either. I suspect that many, if not most, are fake.

Yeah. When I go by and look in the windows, it mostly looks like junk to me.
