That is all I have to say about it right now pretty much. No other drink makes me as psychotic as soju does, be wary when Koreans persuade you to drink that evil stuff my friends, be very wary.

The crap that happened last night, the loss of my camera, ARC, and bank cards - don't touch that vile stuff is all I can say. Best advice to newbs ever I think.

PS - Is it spelled 'wary' or 'weary'? Not sure. I blame soju, and Jesus of course, for dismembering and defecating on my fragile neurons and disrupting my sensitive synapses.

wary.

"soju is like vodka. vodka with AIDS."

I agree, soju is pretty nasty stuff. Personally I don't drink it very often, except maybe on a special occasion or family gathering like last night.

Speaking of last night, we were drinking beer, Korean wine, soju and whiskey. If that's not a strange combination, I don't know what is.

Oh, how could I forget a man who asks a Muslim kebab vendor if he has any pork kebabs? You will always hold a special place in my heart.

The best thing that i can say about soju is that at least it isn't that chinese soju. Sorry about you losing your stuff. that sucks. It might turn up. Koreans are pretty honest in that sense. If you lost your things in the It though probably not.

Yeah, last night one of my coworkers handed me a beer glass full of soju and said that I must drink it. Everyone was cheering me on; I told him I'd only do it if he matched me. He didn't like that too much but peer pressure can be a bitch! Not feeling it as bad as I thought I would this morning...

What you pay for is what you get. Soju is dirt cheap, that says it all.

My rule with the stuff is only with food over dinner. After that it's back to the beer.

I have a saying about foreigners who say they like soju. Don't trust them because you don't know what else they're lying about.
