Just a random utterance from my ignorant, racist coteacher this morning.

An hour later I had a returning student from England. I asked her 'what did you miss most about Korea' and she said 'the bread'.

Thoughts? Laughing

What does this have to do with coffee and foreigners? I don't get it.

If she thinks mix coffee = real coffee, her remark sort of makes sense.

I went to Zen hair salon the other day. When they asked me what I wanted to drink and I replied, "Coffee," they took the time to ask me how I wanted it: with or without sugar, with milk or with cream or black, hot or iced? Yet when they brought out the 'coffee,' it was undoubtedly Maxim Mocha Gold coffee stick.

shtick, more like.

Most foreigners dont like spicy food.

Most foreigners cant use chopsticks.

You could write literally masses of these comments.

Every teacher at my school is an instant coffee connoissseur.

The coffee can be quite good in Taiwan. I drank Luwak coffee there. Good clean stuff.

Korea oes have offee. i just brewed and drank some. I'd say 2 out of 3 supermarkets carry it, but not little mart-uhs. Expensive though.

Yeah, that's ridiculous. Sometimes I think Koreans just enjoy hearing themselves talk. Funny, because I had a Korean friend once condescendingly explain to me "the beauty of silencee" that is an aesthetic virtue in some Asian paintings we were looking at, and that foreigners can't understand.

I've been told that "foreigners don't like to travel."

I've also been told that Korean waitresses are better than foreign ones because Koreans don't have to write down the orders on a piece of paper.
