Thats true. LA/cali gyopos are not the same as everyone else.

I'm a gyopo and I have a dislike for LA gyopo's. Some of them might be cool, but all the ones I've met try to act black hiphop.

I want to meet those Korean guys and gals who do the clowning in L.A. Is that still around? I saw a documentary on clowning last year...it seemed so energizing and free...and how everyone did it, it wasn't just exclusive to one particular ethnicity.

A good friend of mine is married to one in New Westminster (BC) and it seems the gyopo community around the Lower Mainland (greater Vancouver) is spread a lot more thinly than most places. When they do run into each other there's more surprise if they don't know each other, or they're more likely to think ya - hanguk saram. There aren't many areas apart from a small section of Coquitlam where you could expect to see mostly Koreans wherever you looked, so they tend to take more notice of each other.

Most of them seem very friendly and nice. One of my friends makes regular deliveries to Korean clients in Coquitlam and describes them as 'nice idiots'. But the only one I really know is my friend's wife, so it's hard for me to say. I've certainly never seen or heard anything bad from the Gyopo community in Vancouver, apart from some of the students around Robson street being lazy slackers.

The generous insight provided on this thread thus far seems to summarize pre-collegiate Gyopos. Regardless of region, I think the overall disparities stem directly from education or lack thereof. [/quote]

I find that they are just like any other western citizen other than looking like an Asian person. Some Koreans speak English fluently and smoke herb (when not in Korea) and those are the ones who grew up in Australia, America, or Canada. Many are ultra cool, because they are well cultured.

The only one I've known well was a housemate in college from Junction City, KS.

I would think there would be at least one from Junction City teaching in Korea. Any Korean-Americans from Kansas out there?

All the kyopos I knew in Korea had one thing in common- they were all cool people. Some were very Koreanized, some were very westernized, but they were all good people to be around.

Never met one with an axe to grind, the way so many of the kyopos here seem to have. I wonder why that is.

Imagine if you are from Ireland, and you see a bunch of Korean guys going to Ireland, talking about kicking Irish women down the stairs, taking every turn to talk about how Irish men beat their wives, get drunk, make unfit husbands, Irish women are good for nothing but sukking dikk, and how Irish smell like beer, and Irish eat like red faced monkeys, why can't Irish people be civilized like their English neighbors, whose women incidentally know how to give a blowjob like no other, how to manipulate Irish people, how Irish women like a thick Korean dikk that an Irish woman can feel more than skinny Irish penises, how Irish men don't even know how to play soccer, how Irish people are backwards and eat lucky charms cereal like its first class food, generally being a.sses of themselves.

then I think u get the point. it really has nothing to do with employment opportunities, because let me assure you, a kyopo has more available than just english teaching.
