I'm new in town and would like to have a conversation with someone that doesn't include the words "what?" or "I don't understand."

Where do you folks hang out and how can I get there. Koreans have been great so far, but after eating a pizza tonight with enough onions to choke a plow horse because I couldn't communicate to the pizza guy "no onions" I need a dose of the mother-land. Canucks too. Or Brits, Aussie's, Kiwi's, etc. Anyone that speaks english.

Thanks, and hope to meet some of you soon.

Stephen

���� �����ּ���. Yangpa bbea go ju se yo. = Onions take off.

I know there are others who are better than me at speaking Korean, so if anyone else has any suggestions, they're probably better than that.

You can say ���� ���� �ּ���, or ���� ���� ������. Not really any difference. Sometimes you just gotta mix it up.

Not sure (my Korean is just survival level) but the first looks like "Take the onions off/away" and the second like "Don't put onions on/ Don't apply onions". I use the second (romanized, apologies to the purists, as: X no-chay massay-oh) all the time, but never about onions.

Of course none of this answers your question 'bout where the foreigners hang out in Pohang. I don't know. I think there are some bars downtown or perhaps they're all on the trail of the chicken man - you could search for the Pohang thread and see if any spots are mentioned by name.
