Reading back through these old posts made me think. First of the man I was chatting with in a local Korean bar the other night. He's is having trouble polishing his English, but admitted that he never leaves K-Town. I am starting lessons in his language so that's why I stopped in that bar on the way home (other than having an affinity for Soju tongue.gif ). I was taking yet one more opportunity to train my ear to the language, which he should be doing if he is ever going to feel comfortable with English. Maybe I will be able to get him to venture out into the rest of his city. cool.gif

But I was also chuckling over the description of FOBbinesss, because I realized its not the foreigners here that it really fits. I think I am going to start using that term for the Americans I encounter who never learn anything beyond their office and their front door step!

All asians stick together with their own nationalities. There are more Chinese immigrants in the US than any other race, so naturally they will be the most FOBBY.
