Isn't moving from Korea back to Korea town in the States the 5th Circle of Hell? Egad.

Well, I went to LA K-town to ease the reverse culture shock. If anything makes LA hell, it is the fact that it's just one big Mexican slum according to many here. Still, I could've gone to worse places (Canada and its horrendous job market being one of them).

TMKATM, you're the only one that can help me now, and I demand a full, definitive, and complete answer immediately.

What is freedom?


That's a tough one.

I'd like to say freedom is the political sturcture of former commonwealth countries after every last royal has had their dome cut off, but that's not it.


I think this is it.

Living and doing right by people, without any Anglican [or my case Roman Catholicism] contagian motivating your actions, positive or negative.

Wagoo,

What is your obsession with wanting to become a mod?

I have a suggestion. Why don't you type out a letter to Dave Sperling outlining your ideas of who should post on Dave's and on what forum.

Make two copies. Send one to Dave for his consideration.

I think you know what you can do with the other.

nice work, dutchman. i didn't realize people were reading my posts so carefully. i wrote that in first person (present) to make it more accessible to the reader. it's a true story ... promise. i was a little drunk one night here in the states reminesing (sp?) about my korean tour when i remembered that experience and just wrote it out like it had happened.


Um...well, if no one else will say it I will...that's weird.

Good point.

I wouldn't be surprised if this were the biggest EFL on-line community on the web.

Rapeir - Forumosa.com is pretty good but many of the posters aren't EFL'ers. Still, I agree a good source of info on Taiwan.

Waggo, you're a nut, tons of people who no longer reside in Korea post on here, and they add to the flavour. There is a compelling bunch of whacky characters on here, and it seems to hold quite a strong appeal, to which I only say "Good".

This has developed into a community, a good one. It's about more than exchanging hard facts about Korea. Hell, I had been here two years when I found this site, so I hardly ever use it for info. I come here for the characters, and Matko is top of the drawer. You're not, keep working on it.

Hello Kiwiboy!!...who through you a biscuit?
Dont take out your frustrations on me just because you come from a nation of rugby surrendermonkeys.

Matkos a dullard... You dont have to be SherlocK Holmes ..he lives in a different country and he's on here all the time making on average 15 posts a day...To me that says...lonely,no friends and no girlfriend(and if he does have one she'll have a face like a clumsy beekeeeper).

You only reason you love him so much is because he's on here as much as you and hes your pretend buddy.
