		<description>I was very disappointed a few days ago...I applied to a website were ESL teachers are needed in Korea. I am a filipino but I had a lot of experiences teaching English in China and Taiwan. 
They replied to my message but it was very demeaning. He told me that I am not a native speaker. In fact he even told me that I am not that good like the natives do. The question is.... Why do many Koreans studying here in the Philippines? they're population is even higher than us already. If they discriminate me, there are many ways on how to  say no. The're stupid . In fact, he said that in an unmannered way,. I have many Korean friends who came here in my house already, but he is not the EDUCATED type. The way he described me is the way he describes himsel!MORON KOREANS too.</description>

		<description>I've been living and working Korea for the last 4 years.  In the beginning, at the first place I worked at, I managed to make a staggering 1000/month.  (I almost went home after a few months)  But, I talked a few insiders at the larger more respected institutions and I decided to hop change where I worked.  Involved a visa change, but it did pay off.  I work a lot now, probably about 8 hours a day 5 days a week.  and I teach classes non-stop, about 10 a day.  I make a steady 6 million per month (=$6,000 / month) now, which has been my average for the last 2 years or so.  Also, almost my entire team of teachers make this much.  I know the smaller hogwons don't offer a lot, but for anyone wanting to teach in Korea, I suggest you look around AFTER you get here.  there are a lot of jobs that pay as much as the job I have here.  In fact, Korean teachers make even more, some of them make a mind-blowing $50,000/month (yes, DOLLARS) without even speaking english that well.  Anyway, 6,000 is still more than I made back home, so... just my thoughts on the subject.</description>

		<description>Mad cowed assemblymen.

WHO REPRESENTS KOREA?,  MAD COWS?, MOBS?. OR DUMMIES?
The Korean people want to be free from the mad cow riots. It reminds Rousseau’s statement. “Man is born free, yet everywhere he is chains.” In this social condition, he proposed an idea of a representative government. So the citizens send their elected representatives to the parliament to present the voice of the people to find solutions for the problems.
Now in Korea, the government is a representative democratic system.
Under the present circumstances, the opposition parties are boycotting the assembly to prevent the opening of the new assembly. Thus, the opposition leaders are neglecting their own duties to represent the people. In other words, they abandoned their responsibilities as the representatives of the people. Outside the parliament, they do not have a legitimate voice or a forum.  If they have a legitimate disagreement with the beef import issue, they should come to tell their opinion to the national assembly. They are just trying to paralyze the function of the government.
Thus, their very action is destructive and disqualifies their representation –A reverse course to the parliamentary system. 
It is questionable if the government authority has the power to dismiss the disobedient opposition members. If so, it should oust them and let the people have a new election for their own true representation. Otherwise the society can not stand in peace under the status of “misgivings.” Needless to say KorUSFTA benefits. 
BAN KI MOON, UN SECRETARY
Even if they have a disagreement with the beef imports, they should have convened the assembly even during the demonstrations.
More over, the national Assembly knew that UN Secretary Ban Ki Moon will visit Korea. They should have prepared in advance to receive him. Thus, UN Secretary Ban Ki Moon should have been respectably welcomed, as an international dignitary, and let him speak to the joint session of the government and the Assembly that represented the Korean people. But, they failed miserably as they violated their protocol in the occasion. Unfortunately, the UN secretary did not have a chance to speak proudly to his countrymen, Koreans, who were saved by the UN army. Thus, the Korean people scarred themselves, as if their representatives were ignorant derelicts. They seemed to have ignored their own status as the assemblymen.  They just tried to snub the Lee Myung Bak government.
However, the opposition leaders actually snubbed themselves as if spitting into each other’s face. What a shameful action?
They misrepresented Koreans’ image to the world.
 Koreans must know that South Korea was able to preserve its tiny territory because UN member nations sacrificed their lives to save South Korea from the communist aggressors.
 But they missed the great opportunity to express the Korean gratitude to the Secretary who represents the member nations.  Because of their misrepresentation, the Korean people be ashamed of themselves. 
The Secretary is a proud Korean citizen. Thus, the Korean people are considered to be honored so much in the international scene because of his statue. 
Imagine if these mobs had taken over the legitimate government in riots, what would happen to the people? Their suffering would be much worse than the mad cow ghosts can give.
GORBACHEV  KIM
Remember the procommunist demonstrators that your mentor Kim Jong Il is evolving into Gorbachev Kim. You do not have any other place to go now but Myanmar or Zimbabwe. Korea should keep up its pace according to the change of East Asian political scene. The denuclearization is both US and our victory. 
The opposition leaders and senseless demonstrators owe an apology to the nation. Especially, the undignified religious leaders should be ashamed of their not-so-saintly, subnormal spirituality, joining the senseless mad cow demonstrators against the very new government that you did not give even
a short period of honeymoon. Don’t you think you are cruelly mad cowed? – Think over! Where to go from here? 

       Wake up! Stay on the line of law and order! Eat beef; work harder, Korea will be beautiful for ever beyond the mad cows. It’s yours.</description>
