| I've seen it. Funny how things here become so absolutely mundane living here that one forgets that to others back home it can still be seen as exotic and exciting. I wish I'd written that instead of spending so much time at this place. And I bet so will a lot of others too when they read just how unremarkable his experiences here have been and yet are published just the same. |

"In Korea, everyone is expected to become very drunk. This is essential for bonding among Korean men."
because they have no personality when they are sober? |

Yes, considering the fact the novelty usually wears out after a couple of weeks.
I love the picture titled "One of the upscale rooms". Now that's classy. Reminds me of Graceland.
He seems to believe most room salon girls have university diplomas. Right, just like every stipper on Ste-Catherines will claim they are earning a masters degree in sociology at McGill. Some probably do, but I suspect it's just a little white lie to create a fantasy for the customer, and get a bigger tip.
The ombundsman claims going to room salons is popular because it always people to get to know each other. Right...makes me wonder if blackmail is common in Korea.  |
