my foreigner friends in korea hate dave's esl. Laughing

they work for normal korean companies with normal jobs. traveling to mongolia in their vacation time and investing in the kospi last year, getting tips from their colleagues seems to be a hit right now for them.

they feel pretty accepted and have visceral moments as well. i imagine their feelings of acceptedness comes from both living in a diverse environment back home, as well has having a proper demeanor. also working in a normal korean company environment and having a good education helps a lot.


HOW MUCH DID THEY LOOSE THIS WEEK on the kospi?
HAVE THEY LYNCHED THE KOREAN TIPSTERS YET?
..are you in a fantasy world?

how many of these "foreign" friends are there?
do they ALL travel to mongolia as a group?
whats a PROPER DEMEANOR....?

when they travel to mongolia as a group,do they show proper demeanor?

why dont they holiday in the sparkling?
..are you the laundry guy?

hey jad,whats thisinterest in laundries and films about laundries made by asians?
do you work in a laundry?
do your parents have a laundry,and make you work in it?





Laundry was first done in streams, letting the stream carry away the materials which could cause stains, and smells. Laundry may still be done this way in some less industrialized areas and rural regions. Agitation helps remove the dirt, so the laundry is often rubbed, twisted, or slapped against flat rocks. Wooden bats or clubs could be used to help with beating the dirt out

It would be nice if people realized that even though we look Korean, Gyopos are essentially the same as Americans. I mean, I was born and raised in the US and my education was English. My educational environment was the same as, say, Bob Jones. Yet if Bob Jones says a stammering sentence in Korean it's recognizably more amazing, than if I say it, and some people respond, "Your Korean is weak. WHat age did you go to the States?" I am relatively fluent but people should realize that learning/utilizing Korean takes the same amount of effort for a Korean American as it would a completely Caucasian looking American.


Wake up and smell the roses: you are American.
