Eight years at the end of this month. Been outta Korea for a total of 7 - 8 weeks during that time.

No signs of leaving yet...

I can't believe this many people have been here over 5 years. Makes me feel a lot better. I was starting to feel weird being here for 3.

By the way, do you sometimes lie and say you have only been here a short time. I get embarassed to say I've been here 3 years when I can barely hold a simple conversation in Korean.

Shawn,

When are you going to pay your health club fees that you have been neglecting?

Do you think that you should be allowed to exercise there for free, when the Koreans have to pay?

One would hope that after three years that you break yourself from the selfish habbits that so many newcomers display.

Do you seriously think that you are so good for business that you should not have to pay?

Pay the owner, and if he offers to cut you a deal, refuse it until he offers it again.

Are you able to sleep at night?

Enjoy your weekend,
Austin

Did Hitler pay the wages of his regime's slave laborers?

Did he enjoy his weekends?

Nah, she paid for three months then never went. She text messaged me a few weeks ago saying she was sorry for not joining my class and her family is moving to a new apartment in the city.

Thanks for the comparison to Hitler, Dogbert.


I'll pay as soon as he treats me like anyone else at the club and gives me an ID card and has me swipe it when I come in.

Thanks for the morality lesson, by the way. Should I also call my ex up bought me a phone and paid my phone bill for the past 6 months and demand she accept payment?

That wasn't a dig at you, it was directed toward this board's own reincarnation of Goebbels.

That's why I responded to his post directly, not yours.
