Where's this Pohang again?

I did actually meet one filipino in POHANG. It was really cool because he was a sailor and had been to my hometown in New Zealand. He told me he stole some shellfish from there, but then apologised and bought me a beer.

yeah the traffic here is pure chaos, but I like the jeepneys. I am a big fan of customized vans though. I actually saw the introduction of production line 4wd's for suburbanites and the subsequent death of the customised van as a paradigm shift in conciousness away from secular individualism toward a more homogenised consumer society.

Keep on customising.

Just moved hotels for my last night in cebu. I'm now staying at the aptly named kiwi lodge. Its has a big bar area and many expats staying so will plug in tonight for tales of the Phillipines.

dogbert, Pohang is the city thats on the wrong side of the wrong side of the tracks, one street back from desolation row, a cul de sac off lonely street.

Princess, I'm now incessantly surrounded by exotic beauties but you're still the hottest hottie ever, not like that fat limey Hannah...... oops did I post her name. Dan when you off, and all the best for Thailand.
Have a great party at b's on saturday, don't invite the subway guy.

I've now put the finishing touches on my cossie for the festivities at Mr. B's on Saturday night...
I think I've taken "hot" to a whole new level...really kicked it up a notch with this outfit.

justaskdan...see you this weekend? watch your shoes.
wtf...focus on the positives in life (Long teas) and drunken road trips to Ulsan to support the all-mighty Steelers.

er the big word thingee, what I mean is customised vans are pimpin and should not be relics of the 70's.
Dan, didn't the stones pull outta that gig?

went out on the town last night. Tiger, you told me they could sing, but neglected to tell me they can dance.......and oh can they dance.
So am on an island off bohol now, good to be outta the ratrace, and am just about to get my feet wet.
Spoke with many expats last night and their 18 year old filipino girlfriends (isn't it wonderful that true love holds no age barriers ).
Such a small world as one of them was my old bank manager from NZ, no bull. He was well shamed, I'm so gonna get that mortgage with no deposit now!! assar
None of them wanted to come night clubbing with me as I think they were going to watch a ladies table tennis tournament. They were off somewhere mumbling about chicks and ping pong balls.
I have seen no young travellers yet......weird.
Phogan is an anagram of Pohang....mmmmm very clever I think.

Inexhile..... The stones are headlining with Santana and Niel Young on Sunday night. A bunch of other bands too.

I've seen the stones four times, I'm going for Santana and Niel Young and because I haven't been to a gig for over a year!

By the way I am teaching my last class this very moment. I gave them a test so I could come post this. That's it folks I am unemployed!!!!

Asssaaaa justaskdan! I wish I could say the same.

Big party tonight, and me with nothing to wear. Going to Juk-do to find something...

Today is Nov 1st in Pohang. That means big party at B's house. Everyone must take a candle. why?, I suspect B's a closet satanist, who smears himself in goats blood and dances in used kitty litter whilst holding seances in his loft. Give the brother a hug from me.
Here Nov 1st is all saints day, no its not a day to celebrate that one hit wonder girl band. Its the Filipino equivalent of Mexicos day of the dead. It seems everyone heads to the cemetery to offer gifts to there deceased kin. My hotel owner has kindly invited me to go along with her family to participate, I feel very honoured, I will buy them much rum.
Bohol is beautiful and the people are much more earthy. They are astoundlingly kind and ready to laugh any time, they put you at ease instantly.
Met the Germans: nuff said.

Congrats on your unemployment Dan, am envious of you seeing the stones. Gimme shelter is my favorite tune, as the malboro staff will attest to.
The all-mighty Pohang steelers and that belgium tosser have their last game away at Ulsan tomorrow.
sity la, sity la, pohang a bul she, pohang a bul she, sity la. woo oh, woh oh..............

teach wtf the rest for me princess.

Ok so Inex has been a busy jack the lad. The cemetery was amazing, because not only do you hang out and drink to the dearly departed, but you actually drag along a karaoke machine and belt out their favourite tunes. Inex did a stunning rendition of John lennons 'Jealous guy'. Seroiusly there was like 300 people singin different tunes at the same time.
Then off to halloween parties on the beach, again inex took all prizes as the suicide bomber of Alona Beach.
In between all this I witnessed a truly amazing sight. I was sitting in a restaurant when a tour bus pulled up. It was full of Korean honeymooners and their guide. They exit the bus and form a cue on the beach. The pose for photographs. They enter the restaurant, and.........bring their own food in!!!.....yes, fkin kimchee. I ask the manager whats this all about. He says they pay the equivalent of a main course, but prefer to bring and eat their own food!!!
A sample of the menu:
Fresh grilled blue marlin and seasonal vegetables = 4000 won
Giant coco prawns with garlic rice = 5000 won
T bone steak with home made fries = 5000 won
but no, the Koreans sat there and ate kimchee jigae. Is there any hope?

POHANG FACT: wilderbeast are not native to Pohang

Go the Steelers

[justaskdan]

Inexhile - food sounds good and the rest sounds like fun too.

Everybody else in Pohang, I need someone to teach 3 hours Monday Oct 10 from 5:00 to 8:30, I'll pay 70,000w plus another 10,000 for taxis.

Any takers PM me or email me. It's very important that I find someone!!!!

Native speakers only need apply!


Other than this little (big) problem unemployed life is grand.

Excellent Pohang halloween. We had an offical korean cop, a few ajumas, an ousted dictator, Bruce from Die Hard, the Scream guy, a monk, a dead raver(?), a dead Beckham, various vampires, a few clowns, and a confused minstral. There were several pellet guns present (Bruce had one taped to his back) which lead to several welts. The most fun part was walking into Kims Club to 'purchace more guns' fully dressed and then being harrased by the sojued up ajuma. Damn ajumas with their elbow sharpeners... The Koreans just didn't understand.
