At least it vaguely alludes to the currently typical Korean (unrealistic) view that the Norks ain't so bad, but aside from that, what are they trying to say-- that foreigners need to grow a set? Or that Koreans are oblivious to the dangers involved? Ok, um, so what was the point of the article?

So, do illegal-immigrants get their voices heard too? *BOGGLE* In any event, I'm sure that living in South Korea is way more dangerous than being in India (the only country in the world that still has the plague) or in Pakistan. ㅠ.ㅠ --Remort A 42-year-old Bangladeshi who runs an Indian restaurant says, “When I heard the sudden news of North Korea’s nuclear test, I became concerned about safety for the first time since I came here.”

And everyone in that story conveniently said exactly the kinds of things that Koreans tend to say (taking into account the bad translation). I'm betting some reporter went to Starbucks for the afternoon, then made the whole thing up. Not a single attribution in that story?

I guess the foriegners living in Korea do not buy much stock then.
