for me,, 1500 plus students waving hi to me ever since I first walked into this school!!! I feel like a rockstar here...the teachers at my school tell me that my popularity is extraordinary. All students alike swarming around me just to get my phone number.. I love my job and I just hooked up with the most beautiful Korean girl ever!! Life can'
t get any better than this.

You'd have to be the most obnoxious person ever to set foot on Korean soil. Your posts reek of some attention seeking little man trying to feed his ego.

I have a feeling this phenomenon will pass once they get to know you.

I have a feeling you're a reincarnation of a former user on here....... Stop trolling the boards and go stroke your backwards ego elsewhere.

Ah yes the "we are celebrities" theory. After people clue in this tends to become the "we are zoo exhibits" theory.

The novelty will wear off soon. I believe a lot of schools or the system in general is starting to realize how difficult it is for westerners to live here. I am starting to feel like my school is doing whatever they can to make my time here as comfortable as possible. Mine may be an isolated case, but that's how I am interpreting my situation right now.

I wrote all this for nothing. I just looked at your incognito name and realized that I read some of your previous posts and had this feeling of.............

Unfortunately, you're still small potatoes. No paparazzi, million dollar mansions or the cover of Vanity Fair. "Hi. How are you" is not adulation but the basis for 3rd and 4th grade intro lessons Laughing

when I taught at ps, my 6th grade girls all did that to me (and I'm female). they totally made me feel like a rock star, it was awesome.

then a year after I left there, I was in Lotte Mart one Sat p.m. buying groceries, in the produce dept, and lo and behold, here is a group of them, now middle schoolers - maybe 8-10 of them - and they saw me, and got all excited and came over, and we chatted for a bit, they were squealing same as usual.

but the best part was after they left, I realized all the anjummas working in that area had stopped and were staring at me. when the girls left and they saw me looking at them, they all bowed to me.

I smiled for weeks, I swear.

that was one of the most awesome moments of my life here. I'll never forget it.

Is this the same poster who told about the time he needed to fart, and then sh** his pants in the bathroom on the floor of the first grade classes? I thought so... Wink



anyway, I felt like a rockstar too, when the younger kids kept asking me for my autograph the first few weeks.


well, then..... and then when the teachers went out for dinner, and the soju started to flow. one thing led to another, and well..... the science teacher got in the family way, and I'm changing my visa to an F series.


on a related note- how can someone so beautiful one minute, like to look like Cousin IT from the addams family the next? and yet, it's oddly a turn-on. which is how she ended up in a family way in the first place... Wink

her English name is now BLAIRE- as in a combination of Blaire from the facts of life and the blair witch project! Not sure which one I like more in the bedroom yet. Cool

Hey! Who's unit are you calling xtra tiny? I've got a 166 megahertz CPU with 48 megabytes of RAM running Windows 95. Now the last time I checked, that was top of the top robotic I/O if/then/else logic functioning. Laughing Looks like your tiny unit only reads the last post of a thread. LOL!
