Today I was officially offered an English teaching position in South Korea.
Wooooh! That's rowdy as! I'd love to do that when I grow older (for the country of which the language I speak is from of course).

I don't think he was being racist (lol), just that he doesn't understand why you would teach in Korea rather than China, as presumably you speak Chinese and English but not Korean as far as we know.
Although I think I remember hearing that Korean English teachers don't actually talk to their students in Korean at all, just English, so it's normal to hire people who don't speak a single word of Korean to teach in English in South Korea.

Also, while I'm not sure if this really is the case in Korea for China, but I can at least say that what surprised me last time I was in China was how Chinese schools place emphasis on learning Korean as well as English, primarily for the business prospects in Korea. It could be that alongside the English, the Chinese background might also prove to be really valuable, which must've given him an advantage during the process. I'm just guessing it's a two way street between Chinese and South Korean education systems, do correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, what on earth do you cut with a 14 cm long knife?
Some people deserve no second chances
I bought it mostly to cut meat. It is a pain in the *** to cut stuff like this with a small knife.
That being said, I also use it cut cut pretty much anything else because it is sharper than my small knife.
