10. Goes to college with no career plans in sight and racks up a lot of debt.

9. Learns that he/she can�t get a job with no career plans so goes to Korea

8. Loves Korea so much and posts about it on Daves

7. Six months later posts again about how much he/she hates Korea and is never coming back

6. Leaves Korea and gets a real job and realizes that working an actual 40 hours a week sucks

5. Posts on Daves how he/she is desperate to come back to Korea

4. Has been smoking pot so posts again on Daves about how to beat the test

3. Comes to Korea and immediately finds other westerners to hang out with/makes no attempts to meet any Korean friends

2. Continuously makes plans to study Korean and after two years only knows five words other than food words.

1. And the number one characteristic of the typical Englishee teacher:

Blogs about cultural differences and becomes the resident expert on Korean culture although he/she only hangs out with western people and only eats at western restaurants. His/her biggest preoccupation is wondering when the new Taco Bell is going to open in Itaewon.


Sound familiar anyone?

11. Thinks he/she is the only one that doesn't do everything else on the list and is somehow much better than every other expat.

None of that applies to me. Sure, I shop for western products, but only the healthy ones that aren't part of the Korean diet. The only western restaurants frequented on a fairly regular basis (a few times a month tops) are the veggie-friendly ones in Itaewon.

I don't think you realize just how many qualified people teach here. Sure, Korea sure as heck set the bar low, but don't lump the majority of us in with the slacker crowd.
