Leaving on the 10th. Going back to Tax land aka. Canada. The only good thing about leaving is that I get to play my PS2 again, and I can get Chorizo without having to pay such a high price for em @_@ |

Beyotch, pulllllleas-eu. As for me, don't post here much anymore, mostly on the other board. Almost five-year veteran (not much in teh scheme of things, I know), but have relocated to an S.E Asian island paradise. We rented a house here for $1500 bucks a year, my wife is working for a large IGO and I am taking a break, having worked my rectum off for the last two years getting my MA. In the meantime, the weather is a constant 28-31 degrees with humidity mitigated by the sea breezes, I walk around town, speak the language, enjoy food that utilizes a variety of ingredients and does not include kimchi, bark or pigfat boiled in gochujang. The locals do not condescend to lecture me about manners or the correct usage of eating utensils, I am never refused service on account of my race, but on the contrary am a preferred customer at pretty much every local restaurant, bar, shop and service I deign to utilize. Moreover, the people here, whose culture is older and more significant than that of Korea don't choose to lie about it by exaggerating the number of millennia for which it has been around. When I go to watch the football on a Saturday night, I do so at places where people come to enjoy the game, watch it for more than the sheer fact that some ordinary local gets ten minutes on the pitch and everybody identifies my team shirt as belonging to Chelsea because of the color and not the fact that the sponsor is Korean. I have a few job applications in for positions in areas totally non-related to ESL and would rather boil my own face than face having the fingers of the evil spawn of the most downright rotten and xenophobic people on the face of the planet stuck into my arse in a frozen classroom whilst the pumkin-headed assistant teacher I work with (who is lucky teachers don't actually need to be talented in Korea) justifies the school's latest plan to fleece me of money I earned fairly and squarely. Oh yeah, and nobody has raised the issue of the mixed blood of my son making him dirty or unclean, on the contrary, here people think he is the cutest thing they have seen. I would sooner swing by my neck from the rafters than go back to that c#nt of a place. |

Since when did 'shirt' and 'constant' become beeped-out words here?
edit, holy cack, the words in question are sh1rt and c0nstant. Has the world gone mad, or have the Mormons taken over Dave's? |

You can add 'con-sis-tent' to the list of censored words. I have no idea why. |
