 |
|
I'm wondering what the majority of Africans that I see around HBC/Gyeongnidan/Itaewon do for a living? I've seen some small clothing shop owners and restaurant owners but I'm sure not every African I see is a small business owner.
So, if any of you are in the know, I'm curious as to what kind of jobs are available for Africans in Korea? |

| Some, so far as I've witnessed and heard about, are students. One was a student at some Christian University. |

-Fake Americans (English teachers)
-Various export businesses (used cars, etc.)
-3D workers.
That's all I know of. I am sure there are more. |

Of those I've met, the majority were import/exporters.
Bringing in large size stuff and sending out tech product to their native lands.
Even some service industry workers in currency exchange and travel. |

What are so many Africans doing in Korea? Anything they dammmm well choose while legal foreign teachers have to jump through so many hurdles it's ridiculous.  Further proof that Korean Immigration is a joke. |

So you are just assuming that they are all illegal? Nice. Always classy aren't we?
But I do agree with you. Why should people working with children need to prove that they have a criminal free past or that they actually attended and graduated from university.
The jokes on you immigration!!! |

1. They're on their way from Uganda to visit their uncles in Japan
2. They're corporate bankers from Nigeria, and are looking to transfer large sums of cash. They'll even cut you in on the deal, all you need to give them is your bank account information. |

I'm pretty sure the vast majority of Africans in Korea have no relation whatsoever to the EFL industry. But here comes wylies99 again with one of his/her ridiculous statements. Go back to your ongoing inventory check of supermarkets and convenience stores. Or is the wild paranoia keeping you mostly indoors? |

This made me laugh out loud. Especially with your "Ugandan named Jane who is a stereotypical African with minimal clothing and no shoes" avatar. |

Are they still using the same book in Elementary schools?
The claymation from the video is ridiculous.
and I'm sure you've noticed how they put Peter's (i think that's his name, or is it Thomas') voice at a higher pitch than everyone else. |

They forgot to spray tan the rest of Peter's face in the 6th grade look and repeat part. |
