| Definitely. They came to my house and boiled my rabbit. |

| Sort of...but it's seasonal, like monsoons and yellow dust, so why worry? |

| Yeah, probably, but there's nothing to be done. Accept them for what they are, or go somewhere else. |

 |

Is immigration grumpier than usual this year? I have been hearing all sorts of weird stuff, and experienced some of it first hand as well. Is it really more fickle, inane, inconsistent and club-witted than before, or is it just that I've noticed now because something happen to me personally?
Those last couple posts from parkenglish add weight to the notion that they're really, really losing it...is there something really deeply heavy going on behind that ordinarily taciturn facade? Do you think they might be suicidal, or experiencing a mid-life crisis, or marital stress, or maybe did they all simultaneously quit smoking? Wrestling, perhaps, with a painfully ingrown self-loathing homosexuality, like the Crazy Neighbor in "American Beauty?" Like, "Brokeback Immigration," maybe?
Or maybe they're just underpaid, over-worked, sick of it all, and sick of us...I guess if I was them, I'd probably have a mad hate on for all butter-soft trustafarians, too, and maybe start thinking all foreigners are scum.
What do you think? |

Which immigration office are you talking about?
I was going to the Daegu office on a near weekly basis around the end of the year. They seemed friendly enough and gave me an "oh, you again?" type smile. They couldn't help me really but point to regulations but seemed sympathetic. |

When Rochie lived in the area, he got good treatment from Daegu's immigration office - even after, hold onto yer hats, he told the biggest racist there to knock off the shite or find himself in the New York Times.
Better than some, they still resemble Sicilian bureaucrats.

| This time of year where many immigration officials experience their 28th day of the month with no pad wearing white jeans. |
