And if they aren't women?

Be careful when drunk in Bangkok since your lady friend might not be a lady.
No way Japan is foreigner friendly. It is just Korea lite. |

I didn't either. And I was merely conveying what Koreans say about foreign English teachers. Love it or leave it. |

I don't think many ESLers care what the average adjoshi thinks of them.
Most of the fellow F-series visa people I know, pull in about 4-5 million a month for a 30-35 hour working week. Personally, I'd consider that successful. |

Take home is the only number that counts.Remember if a hogwon that paid 2.3 claimed they paid 3.0 Million a monthbecause they paid airfare (200K) severance (200K) and housing (300K) they would get flamed for it.
Plus Korean money isn't dollars so it is even less valuable. Just another discount to calculate in.
Real numbers not best case numbers.
*Also a lot of recruiters for part time jobs don't want F visa people cause they can quit easily. One is just as likely to get hired for a part time job (private /hogwon/ company) without an F visa as they would with an F visa. It might be illegal but right or wrong the law is often ignored. Young pretty non male teachers are what is in demand . |

You have to wonder though if Korea is ever really going to be as foreigner-friendly as Japan or other countries.
Sometimes it seems that the forthcoming demographic tipping point will force a sea-change.. but then I realise the xenophobia here dates back millennia. |
Why do people look at Japan as some paradise for foreigners? It was basically like Korea in terms of xenophobia back in the 80s and 90s and while better than Korea, it still exists a lot even today.
I found this after a friend had problems finding a place while in Japan:

Sounds just like here, although here is probably a little worse. |
Korea was a racist [Mod Edit- profanity] until recently. I think Japan is more racist nowadays. I never see those right wing black vans chanting against foreigners here. Also, I and others have never had problems renting here. You get your key money back here or at least are suppose to. I paid a couple of hundred thousand won to the real estate agent. Have any you been refused a place to rent?
There are some bars and clubs that have "no foreigners" but there seems to be less of these signs than in Japan. It's cool to visit, but living there, nah. Add in low pay and they can go eff themselves. |
