The Koreans I encountered in Seoul were pretty great overall but as a big city veteran I recognized a lot of the behavior simply as the Korean version of big city anonymity. It wasn't much different from how any random person would be treated on the street in New York or Paris. Last year there were only about 12 foreigners in my city. This year there are around 70 altogether and for the most part people are fascinated by us. They want to find out more, to spend time and have cultural exchanges. Sure I still get the occasional ajeossi yelling at me for speaking English but it's pretty rare. The reason I decided to change locales last minute was that I realized I wanted more exposure to Korean life than I was getting in Seoul/Anyang. <br /><br />Errr I'm done rambling now. :-pAlexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14578743779311742562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188923502160270744.post-75125222839393074742010-02-07T23:59:38.890-05:002010-02-07T23:59:38.890-05:00I'm actually wondering if we should have chose...I'm actually wondering if we should have chosen a smaller locale in Korea for teaching. Seems like the people are a little more friendly down there.Kyle Crumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07783963171110291340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188923502160270744.post-28378074693604167822010-02-07T23:02:56.260-05:002010-02-07T23:02:56.260-05:00This is actually in Busan.
