Here’s another stupid Koreans in foreign land trick.
This is the first time I’ve ever heard of an island called “Kiribati”.

How about a stupid Korean tricks section?That would be racist! The Marmot could become the subject of an internet witch hunt. Not to mention the ministry in charge of blocking websites might try to get involved.

Stupid foreigner tricks, ok. Stupid Korean tricks, not ok.

How about a stupid Korean tricks section? Lots of Korean materials available to use.

Perhaps your stupid foreigner tricks section has been utilized in ways unthought of and the stupid foreigners have wised up-wishful thinking I am sure but still, the lack of a good laugh they provide is troubling.

Would you rather it be the story about western english teachers being the pack mules?
Frankly, yes. “My stupid foreigner tricks” section has been rather light as of late.

In defense of the hos and drug runners, though, at least they were providing some sort of concrete service, legality notwithstanding. This is probably more than I can say for myself in the years I was teaching English here

The darned strike-out HTML tag did not seem to work for “English teachers” . . .

Someone in charge of the Korea Herald “Premium” section website seems to think that foreign criminals and drug users English teachers are the scourage of Korea. Vampires are not the only creatures that fear mirrors I think.

Would you rather it be the story about western english teachers being the pack mules? I can imagine the howl of protests, if that was the story instead. Thank god it’s only the lawless Koreans, so everything’s cool - those damn ho’s.
