Correction: Your experience living there sucked.
I've admittedly only been in Korea for a couple of months. But I'm having a damned good time. |
Um, who would know more? |
i know much more about automobiles than the large majority of the population that drives every single day, yet i don't own a car nor do i drive in korea.
see how your logic is flawed?
however i do agree that occum's razor would indeed suggest janny would know more, but then she started typing and that theory went down the toilet. |
Sorry I don't. They are talking about living here. One has experience the other doesn't.
A corollary in your driving example would be discussing "driving in Korea" not knowledge of cars. Neither of the posters said they knew more about Korea. |

I can't imagine living in a place you hated for 8 years and then coming back on to a messageboard for that country and hating it some more once you had left.
I like Korea, and when I left for four years, I didn't visit this website once. What's the point?
And no, I don't get what Patrick whatisname gets out of coming back here either. |

Do any of you have friends who all they do is sit around and complain about things, and how nothing is their fault, and life sucks?
I don't, because those type of people are a miserable waste of space. But I get to have the virtual experience of it here at Daves. |
And yet, as cool as you attempted to make yourself look in that post you're here.
So that either means you a) have no friends ] or b) are worse than the people you deplore since you have have nothing better to do than watch people complain on a message board. I'm gonna take a page out of Steelrails' playbook and go with:

Thanks for the support, sane and thoughtful people.
For the record, I stayed in Korea for 8 years because I got married to a foreigner (not Korean) and it took a while to get his Residence Permit to live in Canada with me.
I also had a good job, a spacious loft apartment, and adopted a shelter cat. So my home life was great. I became unhappy when I stepped outside lol.
There are reasons why people who dislike Korea stay for a long time. It's called LIFE and it happens. |

Secondly....I keep coming back to Dave's because I can always read stories of pain and ridiculousness. Stories that I can relate to. It's fun. It's a personal thing, a preference.
Sucks I had to explain that to some of you. |

One that I don't get, and just pointing that out. For someone who professes to be so completely and utterly unable to cope with Korea, coming back and reliving it over and over again is....just weird. |

Raise up a flag for those that are weird
Who travel roads the conventional fear
Some can't imagine, and brandish harsh views
Regarding the things that they never dare do
My guess is the odd and reliably strange
Don't spend much time asking others to change
Like it or not, we are not all the same
No proof, no rebuttal, no inherent shame
When being bizarre, should you like it or not
Becomes your pillow your blanket your warm sleeping spot
No wish to confound and disturb the mainstreams
Cause yours don't fit their definition of dreams
Yet nobody said we should live to conform
Look for examples where greatness was borne
In almost all cases, regardless of age
The best and the brightest burn down that cage.
And so I must say, in Seussian splendor
One had on the buzzer and one on the blender
Stars in the sky have no qualms for to quibble
Picasso's ghost might stop by for a scribble
Roll over that stone, play that note out of key
Write your name in the sand, dip your toes in the sea
Leave every fool the mere privilege to be
