I saw this on a Recruiting site. Got a good laugh.

Public Behavior

� Do make sure you are not loud or boisterous in public.

� Don�t make excessive physical contact. This includes back slaps, shoulder touches and hugs.

� Do ensure that you are quiet when on public transportation. Talking on a cell phone or listening to loud music is not appreciated.

Actually good advice for all immigrant labor.

Don't let your skin fool you, thats what we are (generally speaking).

The one I like best is the talking 'rule'. I have witnessed numerous instances of loud Koreans when they are in other countries, as well as their own. Yet we are not allowed to talk because 'Engrishee' is considered a noise to Koreans.

Double standards indeed.
