They come over here, they take our jobs, why can't they just go back to whereever the hell they came from? Wink

Numbers of foreigners in Seoul are definitely on the increase.

Well if no newbies came then there would be no one to replace us. But then again we might get more pay or maybe less.

I totally agree..Its due to increased unemployment in the west. More and more people are prepared to put up with the hardship posting that Korea is.
Expect jobs to become scarcer, and employer abuses to accelerate...

more newbies = injection of fresh ideas and culture. be positive~! you have experience, which translates to more dollars.

What kind of foreigners do you mean?

I reckon,

The majority of Koreans have little or no problem with white foreigners. They think we're a bit glam and cool.

The majority of koreans do have a problem with non-caucausion foreigners. They see them as a necessary evil who do some of the 3D's jobs.

I can honestly say that anytime the topic of non-English speaking foreigners comes up, Koreans are negative about them.

They are probably negative about white people too (when we are not there to hear it!)

You can always move to a small city. There are only two waygooks where I live. I enjoy freaking out the locals when I walk to work.

73k foreigners ain't bad considering there are 8 million koreans there.
