I seem to not be able to find much time to write a post and explain what is going on around Korea or at least in my neck of the woods.
Its currently, 2pm on a Sunday and my wife is sound asleep with a bit of a cold I myself am not much better I have had the aches for 3 days and should have stopped working but decided to push on through. The weather is so damn humid its unbearable and there is nothing really to do since my wife just sleeps.
The world cup has hit Korea like a mad monsoon and the sight of Go Red Devils is everywhere. Sadly, I have no desire to cheer for a team whose country has done nothing good for me. I watched both their games with my friend Mike and his family and of course with my wife. I hoped for Argentina and was happy when Korea lost.
America has no loses, and no wins. Korea has lost!
Since the world cup is only played every 4 years I have got caught up in the spirit of things and am anxious to see how my team America will do against Algeria next week!
Before you continue reading and are dismayed that I would so callously flaunt Korea I will tell you the recent events...
1. My wife terminated her job which will be officially over at the end of the month. She still hasn't received pay for her first month of services. She has gone above the call of duty which at times has neglected me, herself and has done more for this job than they in turn have done for us, especially her.
2. I didn't get paid for the second time since I started work for them. I am supposed to be paid on the 18th regardless of the situation. This means I wait 50 days for a pay check for working 20-23 days depending on the month. I won't work this next week either due to being sick, not paid or because I want to quit.
3. In Korea nobody takes care of each other, its dog eat dog world and besides that the primary motivation is money. My friend went to Thailand and was telling me about the poverty he came across. In Korea there are rich people operating their own businesses and standing next to them are people out of the 1930's looking like they live in a hooverville. I am astounded by the treatment of people here and I am shocked that drinking a vitamin C bottle and going to work is the cure when one is sick rather than taking an actual sick day.
Work before health WTF?
My wife and I are slowly losing our health and meanwhile my bank is on freeze, my teaching is shoddy and no one cares about my wishes so I say FUCK KOREA.
I really hate this country I don't care what other people think about me or Korea but I really hate it here. I should up and go but I can't yet.
Hope you like the new post
