On the other hand, there is little written by foreign teachers about the irresponsible behaviour of many of their fellow Weygookin � the all-encompassing term Koreans use to refer to any citizen of an English-speaking country.


I noticed this too. Annoying.

The writer of the article is a prime candidate for one day becoming a runner herself.

She whines about "the long hours, unapproachable boss, fighting for exact dates of a too-short vacation."

The day some real runworthy abuses kick in she'll become a foghorn and go running for the hills.

She tacks on at the beginning of the article all the bad elements in a few short throwaway lines. These "reasonable man" tactics are to gain credibility so that the reader may become ripe for the slaughter when she delivers her main thrust.

To my mind, anyone who can't see through this article is criminally dimwitted and as atonement should tear up his degree.


"ripe for the slaughter?" Relax! This intention of this article was to show that there are some people who have had an enjoyable, fulfilling experience in Korea. You make it sound like a James Bond villain-esque plot! Calm down and less of the conspiracy theories.
