More vacation (my company froze vacations because we're losing money)


Are vacations in your contract? I can't imagine they can do that legally if it's in your contract that you get vacations.

Basil and cilantro (why don't Koreans eat herbs?)


I saw some Basil at e-mart. It wasn't the fresh stuff, but rather the dried stuff in a bottle. Still though it was Basil.

There is a new Jewish Deli in Itaewon. Amazing. Kosher smoked meat,
corned beef, reubens etc., etc. See this months issue of PR for their
contact info. They also have real, properly made bagels.

Oh, of course vacations are in my contract, but they get around it by making the policy "voluntary," so I CAN take a vacation, but everyone else would hate me for it. Also my boss has to sign off on every vacation request, so he can just tell me he doesn't want me to take one right now. It's very effective, and very terrible.

Yeah, I've heard that with few exceptions work ethics in Korea are almost non-existent. Sure, they work a lot here, but the screw people over (especially foreigners) all the time. I like my boss though haha.

PR is one of those "what's going on", new restaurants, live music
magazines you can pick up in Seoul. The deli is called "Leo's Deli".
Their number is: 010-3711-6325

I wish for a pony. Do you think Korea can make that dream come true?

Her name is Lucy Lee, google her if you're curious but don't do it at work... Wink

Should I be ashamed of the fact that I recognize her?? Laughing


You really should get on the Tia Ling bandwagon. One of the greatest MILFs of all time. Lucy Lee went to jail and after she got out last year I checked her myspace she didn't look so hot...

Does anybody know how they make the bagels at Leos. Do they boil them and then bake them properly? Or are they imported from B&H?

Tia and Lucy both have bad boob jobs. The "California Asian" look doesn't appeal to me so much. I prefer them all-natural and a little bit more full-figured. I think some of the girls on Tokyo Topless are really hot, for example.
