West vs. East

kimchicheeseburger:

This insightful visual summary truly captures the differences between Eastern thinking vs. Western thinking that I’ve experienced in the last 2 years in Korea. I wish I’d read this when I first came to Korea. I mean this in the best way, because I think each have their strengths and weaknesses.

Blue = Western. Red = Eastern.
