| Instead of Surrey and London, you might want to look at Kent, which is less expensive but some areas are counted as Greater London and are (barely) on the tube/train lines that go directly to London |
Kent is full of travelling folk thesedays, I second the recommendation about Brighton, great place. (shame about the wanky football team)
My Korean friend who is studying in London now claims the most authenic Korean restaurant in London is next to the British museum. |

Next time U see koreans in the UK, first make a big fuss of refusing to sit next to them on the tube. then ask them how long they've been in your country and when they will leave. Maybe congratulate them on their use of knives and forks too. If you see one with an english girlfriend, be sure to tell her off for diluting the bloodline.

Right. Be as much of an ass to strangers as other strange asses were to you.
Excellent advice. :roll: |
Well I don't think he was being entirely serious, but he has a point.
One of my co-workers is always telling me how awful and people in my country are (she's never been there) and how it's not good for us to be in Korea. And in the same breath she always asks me for information about how she can move to my country. |
EXACTLY
anything that helps Koreans put 2 and 2 together is a good thing.
I once tackled this subject with a K-woman. She'd just been passing a few comments about foreigners in korea, then had a long convo about how she liked Canada, there were so many koreans there, how great it was, and how she wants to go back. Her diatribe was usually littered with ideas about how to get a boyfriend with the right passport to suit her requirements.
When I aasked "how is it ok for you to go and live in Canada and the USA, but its not Ok for foreigners to come here ?" she replied "because America is a country for anybody". |
Who has not heard this one from a Korean anti-foreigner?
Double standard or what? |
