I Beg to Differ

In today’s Korea Times there was an article about the amount of foreigners entering Korea, but this paragraph in the article gave me a laugh:

In the past, children pointed at foreigners and said, “Look, mom, there’s a foreigner!’’ These days, it is not remarkable to encounter foreigners on the street. A growing number of foreigners are coming to Korea, and the percentage of those who come to study the Korean language is increasing as well.

Sorry to burst the Korea Times bubble but a lot of children in Korea still do yell, “Look, mom, there’s a foreigner!”. Not that I get horribly offended or anything, but that is just the reality here that the article seems to convey doesn’t happen anymore when in fact it does, regularly.
