Korean Job Discussion Forums

Yes, I went out last night with a large group of people. A few of us went to Hongdae. Quite busy considering it was Chuseok.

So naturally bumped into a few people while walking, mainly Korean guys, apologise all around - sorry, have a good night, high five, the usual.

Having a great time with the people I'm with. But 3am time to go home for me.

So walking past Tinpan - cant remember 1 or 2 - I had only been in there once before. But wanted a beer so went in. Big mistake.

Went straight to the bar waiting to get served. While waiting, this person is walking backwards towards the dance floor and quite "ajosshi" pushes through the people standing there - not just me but everyone else. He is doing his best 'I'm so sexy when I dance' routine while looking at his hopeful piece to take home (excempt for the hair style dude, so bad).

Anyway, I turn around and say to bad hair dude: hey, there is no need to push like that, you are not the only one here. (I didn't say it agressively - I am not that type of a person).

Well, bad hair dude does his tuff man thing and goes from the 'I'm so sexy when I dance look too I'm going to kick your arse look.

Obviously, I think this guy is a complete *beep*. At the same time a girl (I assume a friend of bad hair dude) touches me on shoulder and waves me down. I say, hey no probs. Just want him to know he is not the only one here.

I had a smile on my face so I am not there to be mister muscles.

Well bad hair dude is still doing his death stare - honestly, this guy is a joke - but then I realised why he is sooooo tuff. Because one of his friends is a walking wall. I mean 6' 6" and counting. Bad hair dude is like 5' 10".

Well, needless to say I didn't buy my beer. Wasted the cover charge of 5000won. And left.

Upstairs, bad hair dude is with his friends, and no fluff to take home for the night.

I just left shaking my head.

Yes, big mistake going in there - never again. Yes, you get these pathetic mucho wannbes anywhere in the world.

But, it makes me want to avoid places where foreign testostereon (spl?) mingle.

Bad hair dude. One day you will be doing you really bad I'm so sexy when I dance routine, and push into the wrong person.

Sorry, still a little bit tipsy so just venting.

Happy Chuseok.

Did he look like what's his face from Laverne and Shirley? I think Squiggy.

Tin Pan is a dealbreaker for me. As in, if a guy/girl mentions that they like to hang out there, they're off my buddy list.

I'm new in town but I've had a few of those experiences already. Korea seems to attract certain kinds of people for very different reasons. I came here to see the world and have an adventure. I've met a lot of people who seem to have come here because they couldn't cut it back home, or liked Asian hookers. Just gotta sort the wheat from the chaff and try to avoid the bad ones.

The only times I have have been threatened with violence since I have been overseas, it has been foreigners doing the threatening. I am now in Japan and avoid Ropongi (Tokyo's Itaewon) like the plague. It always seems to be midgets (5'10") that want to fight, why is that?

[DrOctagon]

Since when did 5' 10" people become midgets? You must be a giant. I came here thinking everyone was going to be so short from what the people were talking about on this board, but many of my high school students are taller than me. I'm 5' 9". Not all Westerners are tall, and not all Asians are short.

Sorry to hear that OP, some people are idiots.

I have seen so many people just like bad hair man, they would fight with their own reflection if they could.

I have even had a clown on this forum wanting to 'take a shot' at my boyfriend because I wanted to buy a North Korean football shirt. Madness!

Violence is never the answer, you did well to keep your dignity and not respond to him. People like him are not worth it.

right. some guys are wankers but it seems to be a bit more concentrated in korea. maybe some just got bullied a lot at home and act like the tough guy cos no-one knows who they are in korea so they can get away with it. i do love it when a whitey or a korean who is tiny acts like the big man but then realises his friends have gone home ( as happened to me last time i was in hongdae ). i've just come home yesterday and just sitting on the bus i saw at least 5 normal guys who would kick the hell out of most of the 'tough guys' in the part of korea i live in but they don't strut around looking for the trouble.
ha, got to love the knob-ends.

I was really hoping that bad hair dude would read this and tell me how wrong I was for questioning him pushing so aggressively into me (and others).

I was expecting to read how tough he was and how he was going to kick the blipp out of me because he is so tought and strong - and, a really good dancer

Well the long weekend has made me drink so I am typing this with a few beers under my belt.

But I am done and I am sure most people a bored with this like I am. Well, to a certain degree.

[Bibbitybop]

Sigmund, you should've come out with me on Saturday to Club FF. And what happened to Sunday?? You missed out man, there were 2 hot, searching women waiting for a single guy such as yourself.

[R-Seoul]

Great story. You went into a crowded bar at 3AM and were jostled by a drunk. The guy stared at you, you left.

Got any other fascinating yarns? The time you went to the park and a dog barked at you so you ran away crying?

Maybe a delicate flower such as yourself should stay home evenings with a mug of cocoa and a Mills & Boone book. Leave the partying to guys with big hair.
