OP, there are some teachers who live in Seoul and rarely have contact with the REAL Korea. English is spoken everywhere they go and if they eat Korean food it's by accident. I've met foreign teachers who live in Itaewon and they had never even tried Korean food. It's possible for them. They live in a bubble and wouldn't know what to do in the rest of Korea.
As for the rest of us, well, we're in Korea where few people speak English and you have to travel to get anything except Korean food. If you live outside of Seoul, odds are you will be in Korea, and the bubble will burst. It's the reality of being an expat. |
I know what you mean. I worked with English teachers like this in Thailand. Guys that had been living in Thailand for years but couldn't speak or read a word of Thai. I understand the reality of being an expat, and I have no problem with that. I am not planning on coming to Korea and living in a bubble. |
