I don't want this newspaper delivered to my apartment, ANYMORE.

Not only is it good for nothing, for I have wiped my but with finer paper.....but I can't get them to stop bringing it to my apt.

I called their offices in Seoul twice to cancel it, and they barely could understand me. I thought it was an ENGLISH newspaper...but who am I kidding? Most of their news is taken from US papers anyways, so........I guess I was foolish to think that!!!!!!!!

So I thought I had cancelled it.........NOPE!!!!!!!!! Still in my mailbox.

So I tell my K-coteacher to call, to speak to them in Korean. He does.....Still get it in my mailbox.

Tell him to CALL AGAIN!!!!!! And still.............It's THERE!!!!!!!

Put notes on the mailbox, in my best Hangul, on two different days, even changing the message to something simpler........saying CANCEL the newspaper........and GUESS WHAT?????????????

AAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Called again, and the guy asked me ten times what apt number I lived in, after I had to tell him in Korean. I hope to God it is not in my mailbox tomorrow, this is ridiculous.

If you know anyone who works there, and speaks English...can you help me out with cancelling it........I have a feeling it's never gonna happen!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate that paper now more than ever....word of advice, don't ever subscribe to it....You can read it all online anyhow, and it's not even worth reading most days....so save yourself the money and the headaches to follow with trying to cancel it.
