I mean, do you even read this stuff before you post it?
How can anyone read that and hit "Submit," rather than thinking, "Wow, I sound like a pretentious prat talking down to the rest of the community, many of whom have been here a good deal longer than I have and know a whole lot more than I do or ever will," and hit delete? |
Hate to say it OP, but that was my exact reaction.... 95% "hate".... get over yourself... Making fun of a place hardly constitutes hate. |

Two words: Honeymoon period.
I've never known anyone to live in Korea for over 2 years and not have absolute contempt for the society and culture. With so much xenophobia and anti-Americanism (including support for Osama Bin Laden and 9-11) it's a de facto Axis of Evil country and I have personally written to Mr Bush expressing as much.
In terms of getting laid and earning bucks, no question it's totally worth it, but being here for any other reason is indefensible.
I'm 100% uninterested in anywhere in Asia that wasn't a former British colony and this ought to be the position of all who possess wits, taste and decency. |
Yes, but you're a complete arse.
Or your online persona is that of a complete arse which still makes you a bit of an arse. |
