Admit it. Western people see asian people as a separation from themselves. I myself admit to this after traveling throughout asia. Asian peole are just so different from us, with the slanted eyes, dog delecaties etc etc.

Paradoxically I have a couple of very good asian friends in my home town before I came to Asia.. (Australians who are of asian decent).

Basically I went to a club the other day and out of the blue a k dude came up to me and started talking, In an Australian accent!! I was frikken blown away. Im sure most of you American guys are used to this with all the gyopos but for me it was a real turning point in this country.

Now I see Korean people - Quote: 'not by the color of their skin but from the content of their character'.

Embrace me korea, I am yours for the taking Very Happy

Damn dude you got a case of 'Korean people are obsessed with me'itis if I've ever seen one.

Either that or you're taking us for a ride. If that's the case, well done.

This is your first trip out of your neighborhood, isn't it? Are you sure your mom lets you cross the street alone?

How do you know this and who said anything about Asian in general?

I think your attitude is great. I, myself (not being Western), haven't been very succesful with male Korean friends for the following reasons:

1. They always speak louder English when other koreans are around

2. They say stupid things like, "Can you introduce me to Western girls."

3. Some of their nationalist language and claims is too much for me.

4. A bit childish for my personality.

5. They often turn out to be covert missionaries or VANKers.

I've met alot of other cool Asians of both sexes.

Have had Korean friends but apart from the more raucious adjoishis, most of them were boring as hell to talk to and overly sensitive (to me.) Sad but true, the conversations were just so dry.

Not theirfault or mine I guess. Just very different experiences and perspective on life.

Nice drawing, Captain Corea. (I'm assuming it's your creation.)

But he looks so angry and mean. Why? It looks like he's saying, "I'm here to punish foreign men for sleeping with Korean girls. Evil bastards."
