10. Foreigners in their cities means less of a drive to go to the zoo.

1. Eyes and hair that come in more than one color
2. Our big di..s
3. Some of us leave tips for cabbies and waitresses even though we don't have to
4. We give them reason to practice their English skills on random people
5. Most of us will at least attempt to understand and adapt to Korean traditions


Ok, well all I could get so far is five, but I haven't been here that long yet, and I have to go to work.

1. our looks ("oh, you handsome!")
2. our exoticness
3. our fun (most of their experiences being in ESL class)
4. our respect (they want it, or at least want us to respect them greatly)
5. our fame (they can tell all their friends they saw a waygook)
6. our shopping bags (what is in them must be treasure!)
7. our money
8. our passports (a lot of Koreans say they wanna move abroad, a surprisingly number)
9. our backs (it explains why they keep saying hello to it)
10. our patience (they don't have any and take all of ours)

1: Someone who will listen to their speeches about how great Korea is.
2: Welcome! Someone they can outdrink with soju.
3: Fat ugly foreigners make them feel more beautiful / handsome.
4: Great! Someone we can unload these American groceries on at 4X the real cost.
5: The joy of making a Korean exclusive society, "Sorry, no foreigner in this bar allowed."

Schools can offer the worst conditions and salary imaginable and know that some idiot from Cape Breton will be desperate enough to take it.

[apieross]

we send our soldiers to die in their stupid war;
if we do not read enough, we believe that Japan brought only misery;
if we do not travel enough, we believe they have a great culture;
if we do not search google for "ugly Korea", we think they had always been wearing great dresses and engaged in great types of dancing;
in peace time, we grant them great loans (like 58 billion $ in 1997, because, if we did not, the hole system would have collapsed because of mismanagement;
they think we think they have great TV;
they think we think they built the 11th biggest economy without Western help;
they think we think they have great architecture;
they think we do not realise that, outside of Korea, there language and script is just about useless.

We become great spouses to Kpeople who have trouble getting married and might become a burden on the economy! (oh, and then give allowances to in-laws)
