The one I did had me as the only non-European, unfortunately none of them actually LIVED in Korea, they just came for the course then went home. |

I have a serious amount of techno, most of it of the hard European style (mainly UK) and some American Detroit. I'll gladly pass some onto you.

But Scotland doesn't count as a real country, just an extension of England. And England is just a state in London. |

There are quite a few (real) students here from Russia/eastern Europe. It's a good deal for them to study here, so I understand why they do it. There hasn't been anything shady with any of my eastern European friends here, so I can do my share to try to dispel the stereotype. |

That is rubbish and you are completely contradicting yourself. Yes, Scotland is not an official lone country in it's own right but neither is England. If we are talking about a country, the country is the United Kingdom. The E2 visa accepts citizens from the United Kingdom....it doesn't just say 'England'. Scotland is not an 'extention' of England - never have I said I am from England......just like someone from Connecticut wouldn't say they are from new York......it's a different state, a different place. That's just silly. |

I hate to break this to you but the original was doused in satire as far as I can see it... |

I was just pointing out that 'scotland' is just as separate a state as 'england' is but they are both categorised as belonging to the united kingdom. I just didn't like how Scotland was referred to as an 'extention' of England, it's a rather silly point of view and would like to know why this opinion was put forward?! Surely if we were just an extension we would have the same laws, education system etc and we would have no need for our own parliament?
As for the topic of the thread, I have met a few Europeans. Although not as many as I would have liked to. I have met no Scottish friends here, some English and the majority North American. I see a lot of eastern Europeans when i am in Seoul and there seems to be a lot of Germans too. Speaking of Germans, my favorite restaurant in Seoul at the moment is Baerlin in Insadong! Very nice food and European feel to the restaurant. |

Scotland isn't a state at all. It's a country within a state or a country within a country depending on how you view the UK as to whether it's a country or a nation-state.
OP, plenty of Europeans about as people have said.
Samanthat87, plenty of Scots about. |

| I give up.....I was just trying to defend the comment about Scotland being an extension of England. State, country, nation state....whatever we officially are (it seems to change all the time) our country is not a part of England....we are a part of the United Kingdom, just like England is. |
