Yeah. I've noticed that the Korean naivety towards foreigners that I felt when I arrived here 10 years ago has worn off a bit. I think we used to be seen as quite exotic and rare birds......but now we're just part of the furniture.

No, the dorks and losers still get attention.

Less so than before, though. Perhaps those that stopped getting attention moved to Southeast Asia or something.
