As for admitting that SR is incorrect...well no. I have seen a group of kids taunt a street beggar. He was in his sixties and obviously 'not all there' if you know what I mean. They were running around him and throwing ramyon at him and he just stood there with a dazed smile on his face. I chased them off and escorted him up the street to get away from there. And this was a KOREAN ADULT. So yes, they probably see you on the same level...unable to speak the language properly and therefore unable to complain...I AM NOT CALLING YOU A STREET BEGGAR, BTW just so you know.


Exactly, we (foriegners) are seen on the same level in this country as a sreet beggar.

Noone has said it better in this thread yet.

Why did it take so long for you to get there?

That site is full of banned posters who couldn't abide by the TOS here. And I do believe another thread that referenced this site was locked, if I remember properly.

Heaven forbid! Really? Wow, they must be awful people then.

Not really a TOS violation. It was a serious question. I doubt somehow it's the first time you've signed up here.

Really? Why, have you signed up several times? I don't undestand your reasoning, please do be polite enough to explain your groundless accusation (which has no place in this thread and is something a reasonable person would have pm'd a moderator about on most adult forums) and reason for derailing this thread! oh, I know what could be fun, why don't you derail the thread even further by hypothesising who it is exactly that you think I used to be.

Or at least try to get it in before the invevitable thread deletion / locking / multiple banning or whatever.

I wont be replying because this is just too absurd and below me, but please do go ahead!

Jebus. I'm kinda with the opinion of the crowd expressed in the link I provided on this one. A lot of loonie toons abound here! Ta ta.

That statement of yours sue is loud and dramatic. However, its also innacurate and pretty hilarious.

No foreigners are NOT seen the same way as street beggars in Korea. That is also not what Urban was saying, you just missread his post.

Now, YOU may wish to believe you are perceived as a hobbo by Koreans because of our foreigner status. Thats your call.

Personally to me thats just an oversimplification and its kind of entertaining so by all means carry on with this type of posting, its cute and fun.

Just do not confuse these humorous posts of yours with the reality of foreigners in Korea and you will be all good. Laughing

I see a lot of kids behaving ridiculously on this thread. Arguing on the Internet. Grow up.

Street beggars are Korean, they're a step higher.
