Why is it not ok for me to sport my baseball cap while teaching when the other teacher that I work with gets to wear his cowboy hat while teaching?
Seems very unfair to me.

I know I'm not but I'm not sure about him. I have never seen him without his hat on...ever.
They were ok I think with me wearing it but a couple of the other teachers started wearing theirs as well - backwards and sideways though. I couldn't believe it.

It's very simple zack style: they are hounding you out. They are making your life style unbearable and soon you'll be begging them to let you quit with your dignity intact.

I guess so. I mean this is the Philippines so things are very strange anyway.
Man some of the people they hire at this place as teachers really make you wonder.
Doesn't matter. In a couple of months I should be heading to either Vietnam, China or Thailand.

Shave your head and the problem is solved. They'll allow it then, I assure you.

When I shaved my head and showed up to work one morning at Wonderland, my supervisor told me I had to wear a hat every day.

Really? Are Koreans that freaked out by people who shave their heads?

I mean, when I was living in Germany, I did it because I didn't want people thinking I was a skinhead, but in Korea? Really?
