You're one of those "I fixed it for you"- quote guys on BB forums, eh?

I don't think "hot" was what he was getting at.

I think the Angelina Jolie reference represented something else altogether.

ooohhh my bad. This is the first time I remember using the "Fixed it for you" schnizzle. I will take it back if it offends your sensibilities.

And you're also one of those people that says, "My bad".

No one intelligent says that.

The Angelina Jolie reference mostly stood for something else altogether, for the record.

But she's also hot. That has something to do with it...the package I was wrapping up in her name.

She will always be hot. But I guess it's a matter of opinion. She brings SO MUCH to the table I can't understand why some people don't find her absolutely dynamite hot.

whatever Very Happy

PS Im not a dude. Again, whatever

Wrong.

Follow the piles of vomit from the station on any given morning. Dodge the passed out salary man who is sleeping in the shrubs at Shibuya Station in front of the Koban with his legs sticking out, or step over him while he's passed out on the subway train (see YouTube).

Alcohol is an integral part of Japanese culture.

If you're Japanese, you don't go home after work, you all head off to do karaoke to sing and drink and smoke. After that, it's off to the Filipino and Russian female staffed snacks for more smoking, drinking and hiding the long snake.

Get home to the wife at 3:00AM, who is sleeping anyway.

Up a few hours later and do it all over again.

Then die on your desk at Toyota a few years later.

Korean girls are much easier to talk to than Japanese girls. Does Korea have an equivalent to Hitomi Tanaka?

Sounds uncannily familiar. Except no have the Toyota the Korea!^^

Everything you've attributed to Japan since page 1 is essentially the Korean experience. Nothing unique to Japan, and in all my years in both places are far more prevalent in Korea.

Gems such as these....

Let's be honest here, Japan is a very insular and inward looking nation. They don't care what is going on in the outside world and look down on other countries in Asia.

Finally, the Japanese are known for their intransigence and are probably the least accommodating towards foreigners

Japanese women are too fake and made up with their brown hair and fake eyelashes and piled on make up. Everything about them is fake.

Many Japanese guys, when drunk, see the white guy as public property for their amusement and take the piss.

Japanese women are extremely flat chested.


...when *contrasting* the two countries has been pure comedy gold!! Laughing

General consensus of the thread seems to be Japan wins by a landslide.

They dont call this place a poor mans Japan for nothing.

Korea loses in every category. Oh... they can spit more and piss on the street whilst trying to get a cab, so they have that to be proud of. Laughing

Japan lite is a better name. The Japanese are too clean and kind. I like people with some attitude. In Korea I can eat while walking down the street, in Japan a person eating and walking is a big no no.

Japan got me very interested in its culture when I landed in Fukuoka and every female it seemed was dressed similar to a night worker, or office lady, and they smiled and winked at me as I walked to the Korean embassy with my friends from the Hagwon. Must have left my mojo at the embassy because they all turned cold after that visit.

Korea got me interested in its culture when I was in the Dentist's chair and the cleaner practically smothered my nose with her chest.

If they do, they aren't going to show her to anyone. They aren't really into big boobs here anyway, like the Japanese are.

(Actually I had a lady in an adult class here that would have given Hitomi a run for her money. It was like the lady had two extra heads. Yes, that big, and on a tiny little body. I basically had to never call on her as it was very difficult to maintain eye contact. I'd challenge any teacher to not be distracted by something that extreme.)
