Personally, what I like most is the free advice, therapy and counselling I get. And how I can brag about my experiences. And it has helped keep me a step ahead of the psychiatric ward at times.

Posting here as afforded me the opportunity to ridicule the deeply held religious beliefs of others...quite a thrill, that...

A veteran of many wonderful years of marriage to a Korean lady, of the rural ajuma persuasion, I also enjoy hearing distressed confessions of difficulties in mixed-culture relationships...misery loves company...

I have definitely learned a crap load about Korean culture for starters and also I'm smarter when it comes to looking for jobs.

I have learned what schools to avoid and what to expect from schools and that a contract really doesn't mean anything to wonjangs. This site has helped a lot for sure in getting my last job.

About the bragging, I never do that!! Wink

So in conclusion hopefully nobody can use me again!! (nervous laugh Smile)

I learned about a microbrewery in Youido.
By the way, there's also one in Jong-Ro 1 Ga (Chong-gak)

I've learned that most foreigners in Korea are kind, open-minded, decent people. And let's not forget hard-working.Without this board I'd still be in the dark.

LOL sure why not? Well maybe I'm not proud of a lot of things, but who else out there is telling crap like it is as much as me? I'm proud that I rarely embellish or b.s on the board.

Word up: BB sounds serious, but rarely is. It just isn't so easy to detect. That's why people take him seriously.

This board has helped me pass the time while languishing in front of my screen during mandatory office hours.

This board has helped me have prim little tantrums when I needed to.

This board has helped me make friends, and in some cases, get into romantic situations.

This board has helped me eat vegetarian meals with other people.

This board has helped me find a job. Very Happy

This board has helped me practise cruelty and laugh at other's misfortunes.
