But the polioce have always been apathetic and ineffective...and there wasn't a crime wave.
Whats changed exactly?
is it the economic recession?

The police here were very hard-handed until around 1982, when they became creampuffs.

Because of the past, they've had their wings clipped permanently.

How many Koreans did you ask EPIK?


I asked your mom!


I hope you noticed she was Canadian when you asked her her opinion of you as a westerner... Laughing

What a clever little retort that was EPIK.

So, just how many KOREANS did you survey to come to the conclusion that EVERY KOREAN thinks badly of you and of the western brother and sisters that work with you in unified exploitation in Korea?

An insulting post has just been deleted. The next one earns the offending party a permanent unpaid vacation from our community.

Koreans should have mandatory criminal background checks to live here.


Thank goodness the Korean E-2 Teachers and F-4 Public School Teachers do!

And guess what non-English teaching foreigners don't!

Nice try.
