This is not a rant or looking to start bad mouthing korea...just the "facts" according to the gospel...the korean times...foreigners' views.
I'm sure we can all add something....both positive as well as constructive criticism.

| I think he expressed himself fairly well. Not being white, he probably suffers more anti-foreigner sentiment than whites, yet he remained polite about it. |

They aren't from India.
I noticed one negative they stated was motorbikes on the pavement. Where are they supposed to go, on the sidewalk? |

None of whom are more than a generation removed from India.
Just saying. |

What I find amusinng are the comments by 'Komerican' after the article. Komerican calls the author Japanese and says this whole thing is part of a leftist English teacher agenda.
Almost like a teenage Filipina netizen going after Lee Jun Ki.  |
