Tiger beer, it takes twenty seconds to do a "SEARCH" for this exact topic:

You're no rookie at 3800 posts. You should know better. Confused (My god man, you were the op for BOTH threads!!)

If I was a mod I would just join the two threads and PM to advise you to please use the easy SEARCH function.

This sort of repetition happens all the time.

Let's continue the conversation rather than turn this into a chaotic chat.

It's nice to think we're building something here, even if it's just a house of cards Surprised

Yeah, but one catch. If it was done 3-4 months ago, its pretty obsolete to bump up the old poll again? (as our answers wouldn't be the same).

Today I get to do the 'less than 2 months' option Wink whereas four months ago I'd already had clicked the '6 months' option!

So therefore you can't bump up an old poll when its 'time' oriented..

Me too, but will be studying Korean, not music..
Want a roommate? Wink I don't want to stay in a 'Hasuk Jip' Sad but I don't want to spend more than 400,000 a month (including utilities) so it looks like the only option if I wanna be close to my School in Shincheon.

I've got 10 months on the contract. I just want to move from Ulsan. It's not horrible, but for a single punk who loves movies and tech gear and traveling - it's lame. If it still had the ferry to Kitakyushu I'd have no complaints.

So, if I have finally nailed the coffin on the student loan (8 grand remaining) I have plans to return to the states (Texas, actuallY) for a month or two to attend Dory Funk, Jr.'s wrestling school. After that it's back to SK for another year and then to Japan.

I would like to teach there and get involved with some of the indy wrestling there (like Saitama PWF, etc.). I'm too old and out of shape for the real deals (All Japan, NOAH, Zero-One) even if I had a good gimmick. I am not much of a rope man (though I can take mad bumps - and will do just that) and I have to work on that, but I couldn't develop in two months what folks have developed in several years. I also wouldn't be hitting too many of the indies back in the states - just doing the Funk family thing and for two months and whatever shows they would book. Obviously this would not be a career, but something to do for fun, and wrestling to die hard wrestling fans in some Japanese backwater, performing for all 100 of them, making enough dough to cover hotel and train fare strikes me as an enjoyable hobby.


So, in theory 1 year and 10 months, but for Ulsan it's another 10 months until wrestling camp "vacation."

You're assuming that no one has left or is new to Korea within the last 4 months.

Generally, if someones not interested in the poll or thread.. just skip it. Don't understand why so many people are complaining on this thread about everything you can possibly imagine.

JUST ANSWER THE GODDAM POLL! Ya complainers and whiners!!! Wink heh heh.
