If you've checked out the blog I used to write when I was in Seoul last year, you are probably already familiar with my views on some "losers" who escape their crappy life in America and come to Korea to feel better about themselves.
Pathetic guys who can't get a girl back home suddenly find themselves married to a gorgeous Korean woman. Socially awkward individuals are not bullied anymore - they in turn bully Koreans.
Average Joes become loud and wealthy (coz you make relatively good money here) idiots who think they own the world – getting wasted every week-end, initiating fights, desperately trying to get laid, insulting poor Koreans who have no clue what’s going on, and screaming stupid shit on the street at 5am.
That's of course a very small percentage of the foreign community in Korea and I reckon that anyone coming here will, like me, meet amazingly cool people. Actual travelers, free and open-minded citizens of the world!
The experience of coming to Korea is such a rich one because not only do you learn about Korean culture, but also you mature, grow and learn from really awesome people!
But still, I would suggest taking a look at this Yahoo group called "rhymes with jeju" because some serious immature discussions have been going on there (especially lately). And I am speechless; I just can't believe some of these people are actual teachers!
