Two Main Groups of Foreigners

I have a lot of experience talking to foreigners in Korea or reading their stories in books or online. There is a book called Faces of Korea with sections written by foreigners from different countries about their experiences. I'd recommend this book. I read it around two years ago. The stories I most remember are the stories written by the Nigerian, the Australian hotel singer, the Russian English teacher and the Australian (I think) English teacher. There are also sites.

One can login with one email address and have a number of blogs.
