That last one is chilling.
yes, the last one might be considered a crime in the west nowadays... depends how hard the teacher hit, i suppose. my dad told me he got whacked once here as a kid though.
I heard Cosby's starting a new show. "Koreans Say the Darndest Things."
One of the teachers I know was also told she "doesn't have a good face." At least you know where you stand.
Over Chuseok I met a 12 year old boy who told me "The Japanese are an ugly race. They have bad teeth and fat cheeks". He then asked me if there were "Blacks" living in Canada. I didn't quite know how to respond! He meant well...
They are hit pretty hard Peter. I've often seen red marks, like welts
