Seemed like a logical progression and we get to see both sides of the story.
Things I have seen?
Foreigners drinking themselves into a stupor on a nightly basis because its so damn cheap.
Speaking loudly in bars and restaurants. The other day I was in Outbacks in Itaewon and there was a table of foreigners who were incredibly loud.
feel free to add on your own gems. |

Dress like slobs at work, I cant imagine many people turning up to a job back home in attire thats fit for Ziggy the local bagman (brizvagas people know who I'm talking about)
Hang around people they dont really like to much, just because they can speak english. |

| Appearing at the jobsite in wrinkled, ragged clothes best suited for working at the county landill, putting minimal effort into their jobs, stealing from employers and fellow workers, running up massive debts they will never be able to repay, behaving irresponsibly around children........oh, wait, you were asking about things people have seen foreigners do in Korea. I was thinking about people living in America. |

driving 250 kms to buy groceries.
Not exclusive to Korea, but certainly more pronounced: taking the generosity offered to them and feeling no need to return it. |

How do you know they don't dress like this back home?
Maybe that's the reason they're here? Maybe they look and dress like slobs, and one from the frozen land up North would hire them? |

| Make the assumption that if one person acts one way, that everybody does as well. Man, those Canadians are fucking assholes! |

| What have *I* done in Korea that I wouldn't do at home? Wild badgers couldn't drag it out of me. There aren't enough blushing emoticons in the world. |
