Well, I guess it's one way to practice your English. Too bad for you that no one in the thread is pointing out specific errors because the entire writing is so shoddy.
Good game, though. maybe the folks in your native forums are more gullible. |

Why should someone say "hi" to you just because you have the same skin color?
What is rude is complaining about a country before you even had a chance to experience it. |
not because of skin color: just because being "non-korean" puts us in the same boat, methinks. |
No, from the looks of your OP, we're not in the same boat. |

| Heh. Everyone's jumpin' on this guy but the truth is Korea is pretty ghetto fabulous. The last thing I want though is another person comming up to me to say "hi"... WTF man I already feel like a freakin animal at the zoo with old guys coming up and feeling my arm hair and ahgeemahs poking my tattoos. |

yeah, i now think i'd rather not be approached by other whities here. coming to terms with the aborigines is already enough of a task. |

I love the way the posts in this thread re-hash all the classic troll topics such as
'why don't other waeygooks say hi to me on the street'
'Korea is smelly / dirty etc.'
'Koreans are rude / weird' etc
etc... |

yes, somehow i think that an apology is in order here: i spent pretty much of my life confines in nevada, went to la for education, traveled once to arizona and new york, but never went outside of my country (except canada) for pleasure or for work. i should have read the other posts first, before posting my own. now, a two weeks later, i gut somehow used to function in korea, take the subway without getting lost, ordering food by phone, etc.
i came here to assume my position totally unprepaired. frankly i had a hard time to locate korea on the map before i took the job. anyway, i'm still working on myself, and still bitching about korea, but hey, i should be thankful for the great opportunity this is to explore the world and make $$$.
i'm sure i'll laugh in a year or so, thinking back about now. |

Construct your posts carefully and you will have fewer critics. Prove you can actually type proper sentences and paragraphs. Everything you say may have validity, but if the grammar and spelling is terrible no one will respect anything you say.
Seriously. |

Almost everyone I have met in Korea have been pleasant and reasonable. I don't know where the wankers that frequent this board live but it is not the same country that I live in.
If you want to live in your on paranoid world then by all mean do, but don't infect the newbys that are trying to find their way.
I'm sure you have saved enough money to buy some amazing house and have a wife who puts up with you blabber but that doesn't mean that everyone else should listen to it.
I'm amazed by the people that have taken so much from Korea but complain about the most unimportant things.
Go read some books and keep you racist comments to your self.
I like beer. |
