| Interesting..Ireland is smaller than Indiana, population wise and area wise. Also I always heard that California had the 5th largest economy in the world..I kinda figured it would have a much larger economy than Canada or Italy. |

So, the ROK = NY with only 38% of the population? Quite a shock - I was under the impression Koreans were the smartest race on Earth.

Mosquitoes the size of dogs that always manage to get into your room and bite you in the middle of the night.
Also men who stare at you like they've never seen a woman before. In Tampa it's the Mexicans, and here it's the Pakis. They sure know how to make a girl feel special! |

Of the ONE percent of non-Koreans in Korea only a tiny fraction of that consider this an 'adopted homeland' or anything approaching a facsimile. Take away the soldiers, the wanna-go-back migrant industrial workers and the two-years-or-less visiting ESLers and it's surely 0.5% or less.
Unless by 'a slew' you refer to Itaewon or Dave's, then yeah.  |
Ok...you're right. "A slew of alien residents residing in the <respective> foreign land". Better?
Cheers,
