So the Korea times publishes this article:

[/url]

And, after the Korea times publishes article after article about how shi$tty foreigners are, this guy tells everyone how he survived for 10 months, living illegally and ripping off his hagwon...

Nice...

I have never lived in Korea illegally...

Our Hagwon was even "inspected" by someone, btw, couldn't speak or read any English, and we had to pay a fine, AFTER I had filed all of my paperwork and the Hagwon had my Visa number issued by immigration...

Double standard?

WTF?

I thought this was going to be about some wanna be cool guy calling himself a DJ. With a stupid name like DJ Chewbacca or DJ groove with an ego the size of Seoul.

How many freakin DJ's are there these days. I bet 1/1000 have any talent.

I played music at a bar in China but I didn't have a wanker name or wanna be outfit. In the end it was a shitty job where you had to stay up to 6 am and didnt earn much cash.

That's becuase the clubs here have less standards for DJ's....back west, you need talent, connections, and luck to get decent gigs....here, a white face will suffice unfortunately...I've seen some truly bad dj's here.

Dj'ing in a bar as a human jukebox(put new song on, remove old song, move fader to the left then to the right.) is different from dj'ing in a club which is a hell of alot more exciting.
