No Kiwi,


Thats not it at all.

Try again.

Just pointing out that this is a completely meaningless post that has nothing to do with the thread, and nothing to do with anything. You do a lot of these Homer, often times it's when I've shown you the error of your ways and you can't be bothered engaging with the content of my criticism.

Rapier, you wonder how they do it? Well, huge population, and incredibly poor labour standards with no protection. Yeah, you can get a lot done by bleeding your workers dry.

Did you all know that till about 5 years ago when the banks lowered their interest rates that private loan sharking was a HUGE business here. I asked a Korean about it, the thing I was curious about was how you could get your money back if someone decided not to pay. I mean, how can you go to the cops if what you're doing is illegal to start with. He said that the cops will pursue your claim if you give them enough of a pay off.

He also said that in order to get top treatment for a child at a hospital you need to hand over a little white envelope with an extra 500 000won on top of the normal fee. Otherwise the doctor will be sloppy and just do the bare minimum.

In this county anything can become legal for a price.

Rather than saying "Corruption is prevalent in this country" I would actually say that "Corruption is a totally integral part of the very foundations of this country"

This board is 10 years behind the real Korea of today in terms of... almost everything. You deserve to reap what you sow in your little hagwon/uni/itaewon streets...
