I don't get it. I really don't. Why don't you guys try out a different country like Japan, Vietnam (have never been but have heard many positive things), Argentina, Brazil, Poland or anywhere else!?
Why is it always, Canada sucks so I HAVE to work in Korea?
Are you all from Alberta/Manitoba/Saskatchewan?  |

I will turn the question onto you...So why are you in Korea?...Since you are so high and mighty to the rest of us living in Korea ...
You know, the only good thing about your posts is that I get to see your avatar pic again...
basically, what I am trying to say to you, is that your random posts on Dave's exhaust me... |

Korea pays the best.
Korea does some mad advertising in Canada.
Koreans used to think Canadians were polite, well behaved, and a better option against Yanks. We're showing them otherwise. |

| Well, if I had to do it again, I would perhaps go to Japan. Japan would be my first choice, in general, but it is expensive. Korea is nice in many ways, and it pays more, but it doesn't have a real government yet that is developed to handle services for foreigners. Latin America doesn't pay enough for someone with student loans. Europe is all right, but you need to have a EU passport in many cases to get a job, but some people do get nice jobs in Prague. |

| To think everything I used to hear from Canadians was that Canada was the greatest country on earth, that it scored the highest on the U.N. living index, blah blah blah, and yet floods of Canadians were leaving their country every year, often to endure hakwon hell in Korea or elsewhere. |

Canada hasn't ranked at the top for a few years now, but that was an 'interesting' connection you made.
Canadians were flooding out of the country? really?
I guess our youth had no military machine to join. |
