Founded upon the mistaken belief that all free radicals exhibit a tendency to malfunction, Walter Steinbuerger began the 'Expat-Canada' column in the Albertan Daily. The long columns of generally genuine articles were viewed as a hallmark for Canadians. "A new market approaching the dawn of a new, NewFoundler" wrote Jack Horzsky, "with all the makings of novel news." What was he talking about?

The 'new Canadian,' is what most think, who has just stepped into the limelight of Seoul and stood against the DMZ without guns. "That," says Whinbrock, "is the beginning of our new image."

He's one of the random crazies of this site. Came over here from Taiwan a few years ago, and like DemaratusinTW, seems to indicate that being an expat in Taiwan messes you up way more than here. Read his post history. It all makes no sense and is clearly the result of a nutter who thinks he's smarter than everyone else.

I find it hard to believe that Taiwan could mess anyone up more than Sparkling Korea.

Maybe Alpha-Epsilon and DemaratusinTW aren't a representative sample, but they do give our own freaks a run for their money.

RaceTraitor is actually from Taiwan and used to go by the name 'Demaratus', which is why he's up on this. He was a real pro on the board over there, couldn't spell, and praised the lifestyle and jobs here in Taiwan.

His last claim was that the Chinese assistants who help you teach were all "sweathearts." Then he up and ran off to Korea, and there to hopefully find his niche. Claimed the jobs in Taiwan were just great and debated anyone who thought differently.

He has about as much sense as the DemaratusinTW who frequented this board, which is kind of ironical. The two are the same in intelligence.

But it takes a lot of intelligence to be there in Korea too, RACETRAITOR, and I'm glad you've found your niche. This commnentary/news illustrates what it takes to be there and how Canadian expats have made their grade.

Oh, ok. Thanks for the info. I quite enjoyed Taiwan when I went there on my vacation for 4 days. The people were very friendly and laid back. I am not sure about teaching there but I certainly got a good first impression. Cool

Yeah, this is the sort of weird belligerent billshut that DemaratusinTW used too, only Demaratus always called me Adolphus. It's interesting that Alpha-Epsilon and Demaratus both have delusions of me being some dude on another website with a different name, different writing style, and different opinions.

And for those of you who don't know me well enough, I've never been to Taiwan in my life.
