Six years, that's not a sojourn, that's a sentence.
Good luck.

Honestly, it was great. There were the ups and downs, but it really wasn't bad. Perhaps I was fortunate, but, I did go through a lot of the same crap that others have gone through (i.e. late payments, shady bosses, etc.). I guess it's all how you look at it and how you deal with it.

Good luck Cubanlord.

Your help will be missed by the thousands of noobs who won't be able to read your responses.

Did you get used to the taste of kimchi?

Did you eat dog?

Were you ever scared of North Korea?

Which of Korea's 4 seasons were your favorite?

Was it easy to pick up Korean girls?

Did you ever find deodorant, or did you bring it from home?

I think you just summed up about 90% of all questions asked by noobs. Perfect. Very Happy

I did! It took me about a year or two, but now I really enjoy it! In moderation of course.

Did you eat dog?
Never! I still hold true to some of my values, one of which being that I don't eat pets.

Were you ever scared of North Korea?
In the beginning, during my first year, I was. But once I saw that it was a bunch of rhetoric, i.e. a child throwing a tantrum because he wasn't getting what he wanted, then I didn't worry about it. The only thing that made me worry was the exchange rate. lol!

Korea has 4 seasons?

Was it easy to pick up Korean girls?
No need. I am married to the best woman in the world!Why go for a burger when you have steak and potatoes at home?

Did you ever find deodorant, or did you bring it from home?
ooooo, great question. I brought ALL of my deodorant from home. There seems to be a dearth of deodorant in Korea.


Wow. I am currently over Pennsylvania at 37,000ft. with Wifi on the plane. This is cool.
