Update on Obama in Haebangchong: Foreigner scumbunch strikes at nothing again
Featured, Rant 15 comments!By Mizaru
Here we are heading into a new summer and as I walk into a local expat watering hole to attend a birthday party, the talk at the bar revolves around how last week’s perfectly pitched baseball game was marred by a bad call at first base for the last out of the game in the bottom of the ninth. I find that foreigners who come to South Korea to teach English (amongst other endeavors) and hang out tend to believe in the “we have the technology so we have to use it” aphorism. I didn’t bother with the instead of that: to see if someone saw a greater truth that maybe we and technology have turned the corner on and can’t see anymore. That perhaps there’s a more powerful perfection in the umpire blowing the call, but then admitting it with an earnest apology, and then the pitcher matching that with an effortless forgiveness.
turning to fall in Dublin but I live in Seoul, South Korea in the sweet sounding neighborhood, Haebangchong. It’s a neighborhood at least half populated by non-Koreans, commonly known to all as foreigners, and it often wears the nickname, “The Ghetto.” Its crowded main street begins at the Yongsan U.S. Army base’s uniformed gate then left past the store over-packed with small and huge kimchi pots and then drags upwards.
