Original

I don’t like Weihai. There is so many Korean people there for work. The Weihai government there really like to invite the korean people there for work. My ex-company built a factory and golf country club. I worked there but Weihai city is very small and I worked so hard from 4am-8pm. The Korea factory workers have to work from 7am-4pm. So I had to start to work before other Korean workers because I had to prepare daily report before starting work. So at that time it was so hard.
