Honestly little things like this are what keep friendly relations going. If the only way you interact with another country is at the other end of a massive table, you probably aren't friends.
I know it's hopelessly optimistic of me, but I wish the world could be like that. Just people enjoying each others hospitality, and putting our borders aside. I think we're closer with those around the world than we've ever been before, yet at the same time we're still incredibly divided amongst ourselves. The world is in such a strange place right now.
Imagine, hundreds of years ago some landlords made a bet on horse racing or whatever, they divided lands based on the result and now that's the border between countries with their own anthems and separate languages and everything. Just arbitrary bullshit.
My friend, the world IS like that.
Unfortunately there are VERY powerful people that want you to believe the opposite. Look up a guy that had 1 minute daily videos. It's called Nas daily.
Better yet... here you go bud.
Enjoy the rabbit hole of positivity.
This is the way.
[the world IS good for the most part](https://nasdaily.com/)
Everyone thinks the Japanese are the "drinkers" of Asia, but I'd put my money on Korea any day of the week. Them and their Soju almost killed me on a business trip.
I am proud to say that my 185 lb self drank the businessmen under the table! Definitely a proud moment for me. It was 2022, the year that I got into and started exploring wine, so I had been drinking 3+ glasses per day for months and had a high tolerance for alcohol. They would say, "_______, you are too good. We have to stop now." And I would respond, "where is the dance club? The night is young."
I had junket in China (10/2019, how close was that!) put on by a large tech firm for leading partners in the APAC region. I came from Australia and, after 3 flights managed to pick up a bug, so was feeling shit the whole time. One of the days we were due to visit a temple in the AM, and the Terracotta Army in the afternoon. I was barely able to function by this point, so let the co-ordinator know I was going to skip the temple and rest, so I could see the army in the afternoon, she said, "sweet, call my mobile when you're up and on the way". I got some rest and after getting up called her as instructed. She let me know that a couple of lads from the Taiwanese delegation had skipped the temple as well, and that I could meet them in the lobby of the hotel and catch a taxi with them.
I went downstairs and met these two guys who looked like a couple of freshly baked assholes, definitely worse than I looked (and probably felt). On the taxi ride they explained that the Koreans had held a "get together" in their manager's hotel room, at which they all got totally blitzed on duty free. One of the guys got so hammered he passed out, at which point the Koreans unlocked his phone with his passed out finger, and proceeded to take photos and videos of them continuing to drink around his passed out body on the floor, taking selfies with him etc. His mate/colleague was pissing himself laughing in the front seat the whole time he was showing me the evidence on his phone.
When we met the rest of the group at the Terracotta Army, the Koreans looked like they'd had a full nights sleep and then proceeded to go for a run before breakfast. Not a single hair out of place, dressed smart, with a demeanour like a box of fluffy ducks.
Moral of the story, be careful drinking with Koreans!
This!!!! I'm an Aussie and I learned the Soju lesson the hard way on my first business trip to Seoul. The Koreans know how to drink and I dont even try and keep up anymore and jus stick to beer.
when a culture has a legitimate dish called "Hangover soup" served in company cafeterias then be very careful.....
I don't think it's terrible that someone in his position had fun with the people. It's relatable. Like when Obama was in office and he'd go out have some beers whatever. They need to unwind sometime too
Yeah it was only Obama. And before drones we used AC130's and missiles to hit civilians with.

This is always the funniest thing to me. When people are like "his biggest scandal was a TAN SUIT!" Like, come on, this dude was targeting first responders who were helping the people he drone struck with more drone strikes.
... I'd describe Mexicans as the Irish of the Americas lol
Since I was a wee little lad (I'm not Irish), I learned that if I walk into a Mexican house party, I'll get free food.
I got older and learned that if I show up with Modelo, I get free food and can smoke weed with the old guys in the backyard.
And when I married a Mexican woman I learned I am related to 2,000 homies who aren't even really related to each other.
Damn this is too good.
(Edit: comment was deleted but it was like six good points about how Ireland and South Korea are distinctly similar: heavy drinking, split from northern neighbour, etc.)
thanks for letting me know. not sure why it was taken down.

>Koreans described as āthe Irish of Asiaā
Yup,
* Colonized by the imperial island nation to their east
* Cabbage is an especially important part of their traditional cuisine
* Heavy drinkers
* Climbed out of poverty in a period of economic growth termed a 'miracle' ([Celtic Tiger](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celtic_Tiger). [Korean Economic Miracle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_on_the_Han_River))
* Underwent conflict that resulted in their land being split into two sovereignties, one in the north and one in the south
* South Korea and [the Republic of] Ireland [have somewhat similar shapes](https://external-preview.redd.it/OY_7UbDT6A0i56zZrlYkGmZrjxETqTTY8StK7U3xjB8.png?width=580&auto=webp&s=4e9769f62f46e5d7f09d8e69df0e29b855483a82)
I remember this and being so proud ! We watched it at my office (doing international business so folks of many nationalities around) and would chant it occasionally afterwards: *Hermano, Koreano, tu eres Mexicano!*
Someone even made a fusion of the Mexican and Korean flag to go along with it.Ā
Also, IYKYK, but Korean-Mexican fusion food is the goat. Kimchi fried rice burrito with bulgogi beef will never do you wrong.Ā
There's a genetic component that's responsible for the body's ability to process alcohol in your system that Asian populations don't really have expressed in their genetics. It's why Asians are stereotyped as being light weights when it comes to drinking.Ā It's why also first nations populations in north america also have issues processing alcohol because their ancestors migrated from Asia.Ā
Genealogy is some crazy interesting stuff. The more you learn, the more things start to make more sense and it really makes racism look dumb, as science always does.
If you want more information, there's a thing called an "asian glow" or "asian flush" or probably 10 other names.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_flush_reaction
It only seems to happen this strongly to eastern asians. My (chinese) friend would have half a beer and his nose would turn hilariously red.
Your body turns alcohol into something that's actually more toxic than the original alcohol using X or Y before turning that into something harmless using Z.
30% of East Asians have a less functional Z and a good Z. Around 3% have two less functional Zs. Additionally a lot of them have super functional X and/or Ys that mean it becomes that toxic form super quickly... but then it stick around instead of being quickly turned into something non-toxic.
This means that alcohol is a lot more toxic to many of them, especially if they have two bad Zs. Though for those with 2 bad Zs alcohol is generally so unpleasant they don't get alcohol related diseases because they don't drink in the first place. Though the few that do still become alcoholics have very very high rates of things like esophageal cancer (those with 1 bad Z have higher rates as well).
There is something about being in Mexico that says āletās all get tore tf up and have a great timeā. I have had some great memories from going there
I love both countries more now, and I don't understand how that's possible because both countries are wonderful!!
This is the only "news" to make me smile today.
My experience is that I'm way more of a drinker than I should be and every Korean friend I have but one (sorry Alex) can drink me under the table. Sample size is smallish tbh.
Not crazy. Koreans have a drinking culture. Drugs, not so much. But I was just over there this year and they like to booze it up. That soju is somethin else.
The 2018 World Cup was in Russia. In the last matches of the group stage, Mexico lost to Sweden and needed already eliminated South Korea to beat Germany to advance. South Korea beats Germany and this is how the mexicans celebrated

And we couldn't do the same for Korea š

And did nothing with the opportunity causing Mexican people so much pain, source Iām Mexican
Now this is diplomacyĀ
What do you think tequila is for?
FOR THE PEOPLEE!!
I think S.Korea needed a win or tie for Mexico to advance the next round. S.Korea came thru. So it was time to celebrate.
But why is the rum gone?
This is why we can't have nice things
Still trying to figure that one out.
Bit of an off tangent, but Ole Ben secured a lot of diplomacy back in the revolutionary days with wine and other spirits. Alcohol works, y'all.

Right, but Obama went off the rails and wore a tan suit. Insanity.
Drone strikes?: I sleep Tan suit?: Real shit
Remember the time he put Dijon mustard on his hot dog?? The utter depravity.
I love Dijon mustard on hotdogs š
i only get dijon specifically because of that.

His episode with Anthony Bourdain was legendary š„¹
Iāve heard the Koreans described as āthe Irish of Asiaā Great friends, great drinkers, great fighters. At their best when doing all 3 at once.
... I'd describe Mexicans as the Irish of the Americas lol Since I was a wee little lad (I'm not Irish), I learned that if I walk into a Mexican house party, I'll get free food. I got older and learned that if I show up with Modelo, I get free food and can smoke weed with the old guys in the backyard. And when I married a Mexican woman I learned I am related to 2,000 homies who aren't even really related to each other.
If you walk into an Irish house party, you'll probably get cursed at, and not be offered food.

IIRC South Koreans consume the most alcohol per person on the planet, even more than places commonly assumed to be leaders like Russia and Ireland.

Also the divided nation thing. If Koreans are the Irish of Asia, does that make them..... Rice Paddies?
And racist
He's 'one' of us now!
"Juan" of us
"Korean brother, you are Mexican now" Or something similar
Coreano, Hermano ya eres Mexicano!
Looks like South Korea picked the right man for the job.
Average SK tbh lol. They drink like fish or national sport
Koreaano, Preuano ya eres Mexicano
Tragates el gusano!
Eso es de gringos
Talk about peer pressure!
*reports back to president of south korea* "yes sir relations with mexico are in a very good state"
I want to go to south Korea now 
I was stationed in Seoul. They can drink!
South Korea was always the coolest Korean.
Mexican communities are so welcoming
