7. Being a bunch of cheap leeches. When I go out with Koreans I always have to be careful to make sure that I pay my full share and don't accidentally mooch off the Koreans, with too many foreigners I have to do the opposite...

Not knowing how to behave when around Korean friends. eg going on about how bad korea is and how excellent america is, etc.Committing faux pas that you've already learnt offends Koreans....

Dressing like crap.
Constantly trying to take over your K-friends or G/f.
Sex starved jerks going all out to impress your Korean g/fs.
Insisting on being the one to order and speak korean when its clear they don't know jack about the language.

etc etc

Being arrogant, inconsiderate, irresponsible, and possessing a truly staggering sense of entitlement, all despite being marginally competent (at best) in their native language (but not feeling the least compunction about teaching it).

Deep unresolved personal issues that would best be amended with a pistol or noose.

1) Trying to teach newer waygookin how to speak Korean when their own Korean is horrible. "Yeah, one is Hannah, two is dull... and to say please you just add juicy-oh..."

2) I drink from time to time, so I'm not opposed to it or anything, but it seems like EVERY time I hang out with other foreigners, it has to be at a bar and we have to get drunk. I know Seoul isn't the most happening place ever, but I'm sure there are other ways to have fun.

Some of them are too darn loud and get told to be quiet everywhere they go in Korea. You don't have to scream like banshees to have a good time, do you??? If I am with a group of foreigners and they get all rowdy, they embarass me, because I am on the quiet side of the fence. Most Korean men don't like loud, boisterous girls either. A few years ago, I was at a bar in Hongdae and a group of foreigners in there got really rowdy. It was someone's birthday in the group. The guys stood up and took thei shirts off, screaming like idiots. Some girl started giving a lap dance to one of the guys, and the bartenders were looking like they had just seen the shock of their lives. Hey people, Koreans don't act like banshees when they go out. When in Rome.......

Having a very flexible idea of what constitutes an agreement to do something or be somewhere at a certain time.

This is the second thread I've seen you mention bartenders' reactions to foreigners' antics. Princess, it makes me wonder: would you date a barmaid?
