"Quite a few of your English students are prostitutes," a friend told me today as she recounted a conversation that she had with her hair stylist recently. "The guy who cut my hair told me that many of your training center's female students come to him two or three times a week to get their hair done before they go to work."

P.S. No, I have not used their services. They come after people on the street, and are not subtle.
I hope you don’t get any ideas about adjusting your “fees”.
I’ve heard some of those stories. I’ve heard how some reach right down to certain parts of the body, which immediately gets a man’s attention.

Cookie... Cleanie....
Damn, that is aggressive.
English is the international language of business. Even when it comes to the seediest of all business.
That's nothin'.
I’ve heard stories about Karaoke TV (KTV) girls. Modern day geishas, more or less.
The same thing happens on nearly every overseas US military base. As we used to say, they are looking for the land of the “Great PX.”
The “Big PX in the Sky”...Serving Koreans for over 50 years!
Beat me to it. Back when I was an engineering faculty member there was a running joke that the international language of science is broken English.
Or is it difficult to predict?
NCIS did an episode about this a while back:

Shoulda seen that one coming..
ROFL!
Some are successful, many are not. I have know quiet a few guy that married Korean girls. They all ended in divorce after they get a permanent green card of citizenship.
On a serious note China will soon be the largest English speaking nation on the planet.
