What happens when you get a real bad Korean driver and send him to a foreign country to drive abroad and still not adapt to their laws? Well I tell you what happens, 10 Koreans die abroad at once.

What a way to go. Sad

I wonder if they were tourists or some of the thousands of South Koreans living in the Philippines.

I know those roads cause I go fishing up there with my mates. Lot's of people die on those roads. I'm fine with all the Koreans dying though.

why do people post things like this w/ the heading you chose?? it's a tragedy that the people were killed and says nothing about Koreans driving the van or being at fault for the accident due to their negligence.

Thanks Underwaterbob. I had to read that three times before realizing that it doesn't say squat about the driver being responsible for the accident.

I was slammed from behind on the New Jersey turnpike in bumper to bumper traffic. I pulled the car over and the car behind me followed suit. No surprise, the driver was a Korean woman, in tears. "I have no insurance, no insurance." She paid me in cash on the spot.

I can see why you'd blame the Koreans. Not to say that it was the cause of this accident, but their driving style really doesn't match up with the roads in other countries. Or rural roads that are particularly windy and random.

For example, when I went to Jeju-do earlier this year I went all over the place in a rental car. We came across quite a few wrecks and it was obvious the wrecks happened because of Korean's lack of driving ability on country roads. They drive like they do in Seoul, which means swirving to pass people and changing lanes at the last minute. It doesn't work so much on a forty-five degree turn on a mountain road.

I saw this happening a lot in Jeju-do, and I saw three or four cars that had flipped over trying to make hard corners while passing or doing other Seoul-like things. I wouldn't be surprised if that bus in the Philippines was just trying to pass somebody, then again, it could've been because of the bad conditions on the roads.

I managed to take this lovely gem of a picture. Sums up Korean driving mentality in a nutshell:

"Oddly enough, most people will be happy when you die, as well. "

"loser"

Koreans in the Philippines for the most part disgust me on a variety of levels. We had a Korean family live next to us for a year. Mother, grandmother, kids.

They kept giving my Filipino wife kimchi because as they often said, "Philippine food is garbage food only for pigs." My wife would just through it in the garbage.

They had a Filipino lady working there as a housegirl. They never paid her because they charged her for the lunch they fed her. She was there from 6 am till 8pm 6 days a week, and they not only fed her only one meal a day, they charged her her days wages for it.

When the husband came there, he would get drunk, and try to grab my sons' nannies boobs when she had our son outside playing. She was 17.

In my city, some Koreans opened a bar. Korean only. No one else allowed.

In the Korean store near where we lived, Filipinos were treated as criminals. They owner would regularily frisk Filipinos on the way out. There was also the Korean price, and the arbitrarily higher, everyone-else price.

The neighbours claimed to despise seemingly everything about the Philippines....yet they lived there.

I often saw groups of Korean men arrive for packaged sex tours. If you've evern seen a pack of starving dogs, you'd know what I mean. No pretence of nicety there.

On the golf course they were a freakin' nightmare. I have seen them break open a hamper and have soju and snacks IN THE TEEBOX on a par 3, not letting anyone through. After following them for 10 or so holes, I just backed up to the pro tees and let fly.

I've had several years of Koreans in the Philippines. you think they're bad here? Try there. I'm fine with what I wrote.
