These assumptions are based upon, among other things, experience, ie to how many Korean maids as compared with Korean wives have we been exposed? They can, of course, as in this case, be proven to be incorrect and our assumptions are then open to revision.Professor Frederick ToatesMilton Keynes Related: If you saw a nanny in this BBC interview, what does that say about you? | Vera Chok Continue reading...
