When I worked at a PS years ago and we would go out for the school dinner, it would eventually split up with all the male teachers and female teachers heading off to somewhere different. The head teacher of the school, who was female, would always accompany the male teachers. I was told later that it was an attempt to thwart any plans for getting hookers.


Usually for "round two" or at least by "round three" the male and female coworkers split into groups. Strange that the female would insert herself into the male group, never seen that before...

Like I said, she was THE head teacher of all the teachers, not just grade 6 head teacher for example. I think when she left, she went on to a vice principal post. She was single, in her 40s, never been married and a full on man hater. There was nothing the male teachers could do to stop her because she outranked them.

If I were a Korean citizen ( which I'm not ) I would only be concerned if there was tax money involved ( which does not appear to be the case ).

However, as an Occidental, "I am shocked, shocked to find prostitution in this place". ........ "Here Sir, here's your partner". "Oh, thank you".

Imagine all these costs getting passed onto the Korean consumer in the prices of the products they buy or less returns for shareholders if you hold stock in these companies. Imagine if a lot of these women couldn't hook for Guuchi and expensive trips anymore. Imagine if they had to get a real job and work like everyone else.

But on a serious note, I'd book some hotels on Agoda and other sites to go up to Seoul for a few days and there were always a couple of floors reserved for hourly rates with a "business club" attached in the basement. You'd go in and out in the evening and see women coming up from the basement with their ajossi of the moment going to their "floor". Had a couple of them talk to me briefly with ajossi in toe telling me I'm handsome. But, never met them. Ha ha.

Most gross scene I ever saw was being awake due to insomnia. Went to Mini Stop nearby and see this really good looking 25ish year old woman at 3 AM. I was considering going over and asking what's up. But, then out comes this bald 60ish ajossi with the biggest frown on his face smoking a really long ajossi cigarette and her holding his hand smiling away in toe. I almost threw up. I understand liking money, but is your dignity really worth that much? Think I had a nightmare or something. Surprised

As far as the big corporations it's just part of the income statement; a cost of bringing in revenue. If you don't entertain you won't close the deal. Not just Korean corporations either, I worked for a US-based multinational and our expense line in JP/KR was noticeably larger to the accountants back home. They complained, but the fact is if you don't spend the money you don't bring in the revenue.

To your point, YES those costs absolutely get passed on to investors or consumers. But the cost of your employees also gets passed on. You can view these girls and contract employees. Employees take the money they earn and spend it on purses and plastic surgery, increasing corporate profits.

It's all part of the economy.

That's an individual choice. You could trade your dignity grinding out a 50hr week as a low level grunt at Samsung, arguably more work for less pay.

This was out in the boonies in Paju. Most of the girls looked like you could push their face into a batch of cookie dough and make gorilla cookies


That took me a second to work out.
Bravo...bravo.
That was an exquisitely circuitous way of calling someone ugly.

The rise in spending could be because the girls are asking for mo' money now. I ain't saying she's a gold-digger, but...

Nice. Everyone uses the 'shocked part' but few bother to come with the follow up.

How we doing tonight?
A couple of girls less than I thought we would be...22...22 year old girls.

Who does that make the naysayers and finger waggers? The Nazis?

But everyones having such a good time...
Yes. Much too good a time.

The voices of the naysayers has been drowned out by the chorus of pimps,hos,and johns.

Maybe Korean men having a good time is WHY the police here aren't angry pricks abusing the citizens, and why the citizens aren't pent-up dicks killing each other...

Things can't be analyzed in isolation guys, they are all connected. Idea

If Koreans had free access to guns, Korea would be one scary place. Seoul would make Manila look safe at midnight.

This year our vice principal and head teacher are both female, and they've been coming to the λ‚¨μΉœν™”νšŒ meetings. I asked the male teacher who is in charge of organizing it, and he told me they essentially invited themselves.

As a "foreign philanderer," you just don't understand the unique culture of respecting elders.

Perhaps. We don't actually know that though. Koreans guys don't have the backed up semen problem that Americans have...

When you are busy getting drunk and laid who has time to kill people?

You have no idea where the "I'm shocked!" quote comes from and how every sentence I wrote relates to that, do you?

That's true. I interpreted it in my own way. I have no idea what most of the posts on Dave's mean, they seem cryptic.
