Go to the CIA factbook. Compare stats with Korea.

Do some basic history and talk only about positive things that make your country look good, with no potential for controversy or offense. Show them the clean streets, the famous buildings and landmarks, the more impressive festivals, the natural wonders, the theme parks, the animals... you could even show them your house back home. Pictures help.
I know people who have done culture presentations blaming the blacks for the downfall of South Africa or comparing America to Korea while showing obvious favoritism-- DON'T do this. |

The urban dictionary entries about "oil check" all use American English (butt, ass) whilst the OP used British English (arse). He we correct. Regardless of what Americans may do, *we* don't stuck our fingers up the teacher's arse  |

It's not 'arse, butt, or oil check'... it's the Hershey Highway.  |

Um, I dont know how the rest of you spent your childhoods but I dont really recall spending any time trying to stick my fingers in someone else's ass. Nor did any of the other kids I went to school with.  |
