If so, where did you go on your first date? I'll be damned before I'll go to one of the only two Korean restaurants in the country. |

Yep. Two near the top of Parnell street. There's also a 'Korean bar'...Korean staff, Korean beer available, Korean customers and annoying music. |

If you go to a Korean restaurant in your home country, do they still refer to you as "waygookin"? |

I don't know, good question. Are you asking whether or not 'waygookin' is a discriminatory term? |

Is that because you believe they hate us, or because waygookin is a neutral term for foreigner? |

Yes, they do, because it means you are not Korean. |

Walking into people is a symptom of short-sightedness - so no, it doesn't count. |

Yeah: She wanted to be surprised, so I took her to the homecoming game for the school I was teaching at. Then we went out for dinner somewhere relatively nice and then stopped at two or three bars. By then, she was mine. We dated for quite a while after that. |

I met my wife in Vancouver. For our first date, we watched the fireworks at English Bay. |
