1) I think tomato & sjv8603 should take a naked hike on the sandy riverbank in 장호원 together.

2) I think fat people are (as repeated a million times on Dave's by a certain poster whos name escapes me) "bad and immoral".

3) I never smell of BO.

1) I haven't taught ESL since 2004. (I hope to never have to change that statement)

2) I am auditing a Korean history grad class taught in Korean. (for fun)

3) I feel guilty if I read today's newspaper before I finish reading yesterday's

1) I have more books than I could ever read in a lifetime
2) For being over 50, I act and relate as someone much younger (I'm 37 in my head)
3) I'm posting this out of selfish reasons because I think it's one of the more interesting topics on this website and I like reading about people

1) I once saw a dead body in a pool of blood on the sidewalk in front of me.

( I was behind a double parked white van on a single lane city road. I decided to back up & drive around the corner instead of wait . In that time, the driver of the white van shot his ex-wife, kidnapped his daughter & shot his ex wife's new boyfriend thru the head, outside) I kept a copy of the next days newspaper.

2) I'm 40, new to ESL & have no plans to return to the USA for the next decade.

(First time outside the USA, besides the Caribbean & I'm gonna see as much of the world as possible before it's too late)

3) I NEED a haircut! Haven't had one in almost 3 years.

( As part of my 'bucket list', I'm donating my hair to 'Wigs for Kids to help kids w/ cancer & can't cut it til it gets to 12 inches) It probably already IS 12 inches, but I'm waiting til I lose 30 lbs. I figure being fat AND bald is 2 strikes against me that I DON'T need! So, if you see a chubby, long haired blond dude at a pub in Daejeon or Seoul, that's probably me. Cheers !!!

4) I'm wondering how many of the previous posters on this thread are still in Korea & how life turned out for them. Kinda creepy reading your own words years after the fact, I'd imagine.

Glad you are here. I am also in Korea, although not teaching. I work as an IT guy for a contract company in Pyeongtaek. One of the reasons I like it here is that it's actually safer than the states.

1) I have an MA TESOL

2) I'm happy

3) I'm currently on Dave's ESL Cafe

1. My high school guidance counselor called my mom into his office and actually told her that I was not going to be successful. She cried.

2. I daydream constantly about buying/living on a deserted island like Robinson Crusoe. I'm really trying to figure that one out.

3. I hate working, and I would do anything to stay home all day and lay around in my underwear.

1. I've been away from my home country (UK) since 18th November 2002, but I don't miss it and I've never felt homesick. However, I'm still proud to be British and think the place has many great things going for it. I'm just happy living where I am.

2. I can eat most things, but can't stand fish - or any seafood for that matter. Even the sight of a fish, dead or alive, turns my stomach. How could I possibly then put bits of these things in my mouth and eat them, even if they are dead and cooked.

3. I strongly dislike children. If I'm out shopping or whatever, I give the screaming, snotty little brats a wide birth. I will refuse to sit at a table near children in any kind of restaurant.

[wishfullthinkng]

1. i can't see three dimensionally because of a birth defect, i'm forever stuck in a 2-d world.

2. i've been able to make most people do almost anything that i've wanted since i was young.

3. i've had three fathers.

all true facts about myself.
