You may have an inferiority complex if you don't even capitalize the name of your own country.

Hey ChinaBoy,
You can make $ 600 a month in China as an ESL teacher instead you make 2.4 million in Korea. Public school teachers in China make around $ 120 a month.

If someone make $ 32000 a year, that means about $ 2600 a month before taxes and that means about $ 1800 after tax and one bed room apartment cost about $ 900 a month, car insurance, cell phone fee/internet fee...etc...etc
You can't save even $ 20 a month, that's the life of someone who makes $ 32000 a year.

Right. Maybe if our only options are McDonald's shift manager and assistant teacher in Korea (or baby sitter or lecturer) then we should consider getting better qualifications and better jobs.

-10 is slightly uncomfortable. Live in Saskatchewan for a bit and get back to me. We think -10 is a nice day.

wasn't it minus 8 or 9 a few weeks ago in Seoul? That's cold. I know from cold. Once you get to minus ten-ish, it's just bloody cold. I don't care if it's minus 10 or minus 40. Cold is cold and heating is expensive!

Samcheokguy,
You mentioned my grammatical mistake, I should appreciate that, but sometimes my mood is not appreciation mood Wink , so I shot back.
I am not here to improve my English, I am here to entertain Laughing

I have no problem to live/work in English speaking country ( my speaking is excellent ), anyway I should appreciate your intention.

Have a nice day !
