Are you head-butting your keyboard yet?
You are so easy to rile up, you actually make this board fun with your ignorance of Korea and anal retentiveness.
Dare I say it, I like you!
Thank you, Butlerian.
Thutlerian. |
Ignorance of Korea? I suspect I know a lot more about Korea than you, my friend.
Grow up, kiddo.
Enjoy life here  |
Okay, how do I say "rectum" in Korean? Obviously if you know a lot about Korea you speak the lingo, non?
Please enlighten me. |
I speak the lingo reasonably well considering the length of time I've been here. Not fluent by any means but I can certainly get around. Try learning some useful Korean as opposed to idiotic words that describe yourself. |
You just won't quit, will you?
I am going to assume that you are calling me a rectum, not too sure, I don't really understand you colonizers that failed so I will just have to assume.
Here's a handy hint, a tid-bit, if you will: not being able to handle a joke and resorting to insults is unbecoming. Are you not a representative of your country in Korea? Is it not good manners to take a joke, and not have to insult some fine young bucks such as myself? And should you not be preparing for your uni classes in Daegu?
Unfortunately, I have a slack job and do not need to prepare, and probably work less hours than you. Oh but of course, you know more about Korea than I do, how could I forget? Enjoy Daegu, hahahaha. |
Handle a joke? I can handle a joke, my friend, but you appear all too often with your typical insults and frivolous attacks. So, it's easy enough to respond put you in your place.
Preparing for my uni classes? I do that in the daytime. In the evening, I'm free to relax. I don't even "have" to prepare in the daytime, but, unlike you, I respect my students and therefore I'm more than happy to devote some time to preparing for lessons and improving as a teacher. You should try it some time. |

Now you are making assumptions about me.
Well, I expect nothing less from the likes of miserable folks such as yourself, a pity really, I have some Bangladeshi friends that would have been more than happy to show you what real curry tastes like, but the likes of you are not worth it.
I can see why you like Korea so much though; the food here has more flavour than the food back in limey no doubt; not only do they use salt here, but gochujang, too. Must blow your somewhat limited senses away I guess. |

I've been lucky enough to travel to more than 30 countries around the world, so I've sampled plenty of cuisine. I've been to India and the curry there was amazing. I haven't been fortunate enough to go to Bangladesh yet, but it's only a matter of time... |

Wait - did you not say you are in your early twenties? Please list these 30+ countries, if you will.
I have friends that have been to a lot of countries, and I doubt that any of them have topped 30.
Well done, pal - I think you've just pretty much proved yourself to be full of crap. |

That world map was a good purchase then, hey?
So, in Trinidad & Tobago, what is the local cuisine like there?
How do you say 'thanks' in Dutch?
Which city did you go to in Tunisia?
And, pics? Proof? |

The only halfway decent beer in all of Asia is the North Korean beer and Tsingtao (a Chinese beer made by Germans).

I've heard Lao beer is good. Haven't tried it myself though. I liked Tiger draught beer (in VN). I think San Miguel and the draft is good, too. Tsingtao is OK, nothing special IMO. |
I've heard so much about Lao Beer, never had it either. Never once heard a bad thing about it though.
I like San Miguel too, but moreso in the Philippines. It's a 'cold' beer that tastes even colder in the Philippines.

Agreed about that. I lived in New York CIty for several years, and the mass majority of ALL bars had the SAME six or seven beers. It was bizarre because NYC seemed to have everything in the world except for variety of beers in their bars and clubs.
The West Coast however, damn, its plentiful. Oregon, California, etc...beer choices are unlimited. Every bar I go to out there seems to offer yet something else I've never heard of before.
-----
I'm gonna say that Germany and Czech Republic has the best beers in the world. I think they are some of the largest beer per capita drinkers in the world as well. |

My uncle has a business in Trinidad making commercials for companies there. Local cuisine? They have something called "roti" and I remember a stall selling shark hamburgers on a beach.
Thanks in Dutch? No idea - I went to Amsterdam for a holiday, not to learn the language. In Tunisia I went to a beach resort called Port El Kantaoui (or something like that), but I also travelled around much of the country, including Tunis, an oasis in the sahara, the ruins of Carthage.
As for pics? On a public forum? No chance. Let's talk again tomorrow - going to sleep now. |

You tend to bring that out in people. It's all their fault. |

| The poll isn't of much help as it's more of a representative sample of Dave's users than it is a reflection of tastes. If you had an alternate option for those who LIKE/don't mind the beer for each nationality (maybe fewer countries. Haven't met more than a handful of Welshmen in 3 years, for instance.) |

alright! commonwealth rivalry!
i like british beer, i like german beer. however, for sheer volume of varieties, i vote american. even a modest sized city like san diego has 3 or 4 microbreweries (though to be honest the only one I really like is Stone). plus there are some unique, American-only beer...California Common Beer or "steam" beer (the obvious example being Anchor Steam) is made nowhere else, yet we can still copy most of the European styles too.
I really like Stone as well because they revive some seemingly dead beer types. Sometimes...rightfully dead. Russian Imperial Stout!? I mean, gets ya drunk (11% alcohol i think), but feels like you're drinking motor oil! However, Arrogant *beep*, Ruination, their IPAs...top notch, bitter, hoppy stuff.
The west coast in general seems blessed though. I remember going to New York and being pretty disappointed with their beer selection...Brooklyn Brewery seemed like the only half-decent suds.
Man, I miss getting ultra-premium beer for $10 a sixpack. |
Speak for yourself, I'd kill for a good Russian Imperial Stout about now. Am brewing up a good Extra Stout right now, certainly not Imperial but should clock in at about 8% alcohol with a crapload of wonderful roast barley taste.
In any case the variety of beer in America is vastly better than in England thanks to the massive number of microbeers. The only country that comes anywhere close to America in beer variety sure as *beep* isn't England or Germany, its Belgium which is home to some absolutely amazing beers... |

| I think Europeans should not be able to count European countries as countries visited. It's like what.. about $200 for you to get to one? For Americans (and our Canadian sisters) it's a good grand just go get there. You should just count Europe as one country, like Americans already do. |
