Korean Girls

An interesting phenomenon, often commented on, is the attraction of Asian women to western (mostly white) men. This is a pronounced phenomenon here in Korea, but even more so in Thaiand. I didn't see it in China, but we didn't see much there. Even the oldest grottiest guys seem to be perfectly capable of getting hot dates. So, young guys have it pretty easy. Being attached here, this doesn't affect me very much, but its a bit of an eye opener. John, our fellow teacher, has multiple dates a weekend. Almost any single guy here doesn't seem to stay it for very long if he doesn't want to. Anway, its a bit embarassing for me, mostly because I'm not used to it, but the Korean school girls can be quite forward. This is a bit strange since Korean women and society are usually very modest and conservative. But, it doesn't seem to have been bred into the teen just yet. The other day we went out on the lake, and I had to outpaddle a group of crazed schoolgirls. They were the most brazen I've ever encountered, Corie and I were actually quite worried by them, but I've encountered less extreme versions before. The older girls are less forward about it, but they still giggle and stare. Not that this is really a bad thing, its obviously flattering, but, like I said, its a bit embarassing. The same does not seem to hold for western women. Why this is, I'm not exactly sure. Something about social standing no doubt.
