I told this to my students today in Korean.

Well, at least the North Koreans had the decency not to patronize us the way the South Koreans do.
If this was written by South Koreans it would have read to include:
"we don't wish to harm ...people with mental disabilities, foreigners, single moms, low income house holds, handicapped people..."
Hate to say it, and I don't mean this is my usual sarcastic way, but in South Korea:
Foreigner = Low Social Class.
You see this assumption in the media and government policy all the time.
So good on the NORKs! |
Generally this may be true, but I think more in terms of the S Asians workers working here. I don't think they group ESL teachers in with that group, do you? |
Definitely higher than the "brown people", but still regarded as sub-professional and transient labor, even the "visiting professors".
The NORKS must be laughing their heads off right now.
They're probably just sitting around a big table going "How can we raise the Sh*t today!" and having a hell of a good laugh...
Wonder if the NORKs read Dave's? |

Sounds like an average day at Incheon. |

I would think that if there were a massive exodus out of the country, we would have heard about it either through the media or elsewhere, like blogs. There'd be a buzz.
That the airport is busy is not evidence. How does your friend know why those people are at the airport? Did he interview them? How does he know it's not normally that busy this time of year at whatever time of day he was there?
Without evidence this is just conjecture. |

No, it's overrun with people desperate to escape the coming horror. It is. The airport is now being blocked/controlled by the military checkpoint. All your base are belong to us.
If you have privates to pass along before your departure, please just post them here, someone will take over for you asap. |

You don't even live in Korea anymore, right? Do you have a day job? You post a lot during what should be your work hours, and your posts are usually full of random nothingness. Is your life that boring? |
