I think it is like John Kerry said "It is like Tony Soprano giving a talk on law and order.

I think the issue with the school is that this is very much a "Don't ask - Don't tell" society.

Yes, my students told me that many establishments have already gone out of business because of the recent crackdown. They had read this in the paper.

I was in Gecko's last night and it had more women in there than I have ever seen. They kept coming in in pairs, my guess is that some are working undercover. All of Itaewan was swarming with police and MP's last night

Words from two of the most eloquent posters around.

One can speculate that perhaps he wasn't the most attractive or charming piece of work in his neighborhood. It's safe to assume that he wasn't subtle about his intentions. Korean guys pull it off, so to speak, every day and night, but this guy obviously had a different ptofile. The hypocrisy of the sanctity of the Korean marriage is verified when the statistics show that 70% of Korean married men have extra-marital sex. So the waygook was simply doing what the locals are doing; but he was busted. Clearly, he wasn't discreet.

You've only got part of the story here.

A massage parlour in Taejon was raided and they got the "guestbook." One repeat appointment was to the university dorm. When this hit the papers, parents were screaming for blood, asking how a uni could allow a dorm-living student to order massages. What kind of school were they running?

This put the pressure on the uni to find the guilty student, and when it came out that it wasn't a student at all, rather the American ESL teacher, there's wasn't much they could do besides fire him.

I read it in the papers.

According to a friend, who'd know about such matters, this guy's fatal mistake was bringing the girl back to his place. Even if you live on your own, and pay your own rent, it's "common sense not to bring them home- where they could steal your stuff, or harass you later. That's what yeogwans are for!" (his words not mine)

Whatever you may think about the rights and wrongs of this or the hypocrisy of society, whether Korean or other, his contract probably includes a clause about criminal behaviour resulting in dismissal without rights. However prevalent it may be it is against the law.

Thanks for the extra info King of Kwangju. The paper I read obviously didn't publish all the details.

hey all, for starters, i know the guy and the situation. lets get the facts straight. he wasnt married as one poster suggested, he wasnt "a repeat" offender, just dumb enough to use a credit card for payment which was what they traced, and the other was that he was caught in the raid which was done after it was made illigal, though the actual act was commited BEFORE the law was passed. all in all, he didnt do anything illegal, he is a stand up guy so leave the judgements of his charachter to yourselves please and also who cares what he did, many a man has done it before and will continue to do so. i think it was harsh that he got asked to leave knowing so many of his korean counterparts could almost have certainly done exactly what he did. anyway, hope this clears a bit up for some, laterz

crazy
