Did you buy a car yet? Have you even thought about it?
Or are you going to spend a spectacular summer in one of the most beautiful parts of Korea twiddling your thumbs, mooning for model trins and posting all manner of inane crap? |

| ...when you go to the nearest 'big smoke' for the day and see another foreigner as soon as you step off the bus. In great excitement you smile &say hello & they look at you like you're a weirdo, mumble something & disappear into the crowd. Musta been all the hayseeds in my hair.... |

Clerks are rarly behind the counter in most stores.They are in the back room doing whatever they do.
There's a layer of dust on all the products in the store.
There's a dog restaurant that has a dirty old sock stench.
Everyone in the town thinks you're an American soldier. |

-I lack a proper field of vision in my left eye so driving in Korea would be fatal for somebody.
-I like posting inane stuff and living in the middle of nowhere is fun. I know there are other people in Gangwon and Jeolla going through exactly the same thing.
-And I went to Japan and bout a very nice 3 unit JR commuter train.
AND
I live in a town of great scenic beauty. I have enjoyed the great scenic beauty. I have walked all over the scenic beauty. I have ridden busses all over the scenic beauty. And 8 months later
-I can't &%^$ the scenic beauty or even go on a date with it
-I can't eat the scenic beauty
-I can't talk to the scenic beauty
-I can't have a cup of coffee and watch people going by in the scenic beauty |

The biggest known secret is the best jobs are in the sticks. Particularly public schools. I once worked in a city with a hogwan Ding Dind Dang.
Moving to the country is the best thing I did. More laid back people, more vacation time. Never having to look over your shoulder. In Korea public transit is awesome. |
