It tastes good, but is it really good for health? |

The women ... hey, they're the main reason for me wanting to do a second year here.
Soju and bars open all night are the other reasons. |

talk golchi? Spicy Chicken on a stick for 1000 won, my favo winter treat.
Hotduk? Yummy cinnamon pancake honey thingos 500 won
Cheap ciggies.
Buying a bottle of spirits from the corner store at 4am.
Cheap taxis.
Crazy tax rates.
Pocari sweat....Really! I try to skull down a big bottle of it if I can before I go to bed when I'm wrecked, it really works. Unless of course you've gone and got yourself bent on the dreaded green bottle, then there is no cure for pain. |

[1] Ciggarettes for 2 bucks a pack
[2] The police. I am actually friends with cops here instead of getting hasseled by the man.
[3] Bulgogi restaurants on the beach.
[4] Marbled beef. I know a lot of it is American import but it is grown for Asian market and hard to find in Canada where people want lean beef.
[5] Cheap insurance. I pay 90$ a year opposed to $350 a month for basic motorcycle insurance.
[6] Bars that close when you go home.
[7] Beautiful friendly people who don't steal your motorcycle helmet when you leave it on your bike all day, let alone your bike going missing.
[8] Live squid for sale.
[9] Taxi's that cost 1.50 and they tip you.
[10] My girlfriend. |

Damn, you're sharp! 
First time I'd heard that one, but hey! I didn't mind being lost in Paradise....
Better than over at the University of Spoiled Children. |
