I don't fancy living with a bunch of rats in my apartment or hauled down an alley way and kicked mercilessly or thrown into jail.
I don't think anybody does, but has it REALLY happened to anyone who didn't deserve it?
Re: the rats
Would you sign a 12 month contract on an apartment, even a a "free" one over internet without even checking it out if it were in your home country? I doubt it. So why do it from halfway around the world.
Re: hauled down an alleyway
If you are staggering around drunk with a wallet full of cash you're likly to be mugged anywere in the world, I would guess in Korea you're safer than most places, given the fact white folks aren't assumed to be richer than the locals.
Re: thrown into jail.
Just because the laws may be different to what you think they should be, you still have to obey them.
Hey, Joe,
