I know what you mean. I have a 15 month old and he gets into everything he can get his hands on. What I do on those I hate Korea days is go out with friends for a bout of drinking and ranting, nothing helps like shared experience. But I don't get out much so I listen to alot of music, play NHL 2000, play with my little guy or even take my bike out into the counrty for a few hours. Downloading stuff like Southpark or the Simpsons helps to.

Well remedy to the 'I hate korea days' is simple.

I like to watch romantic comedies and eat ice cream.

This is closely followed by dancing around my apartment to 80s pop anthems.

For me personally, even though I don't have too many of the "I hate Korea" days, when I do I remind myself that the reason I am staying in this country is because of my fiance , and that thought's all I need.

I check my bank balance and remind myself that I'm half way through this odyssey. Then I get some chocoloate Haagen Dazs.

I've been here 10 months and I have never had an "I hate Korea day" yet. However, I've had some "I hate the hawgwon days".

Dealing with life when Korea kicks you in the teeth:

Go spearfishing
Go bass fishing
Cook some gourmet non-Korean food
Knock back a bottle of good merlot
Have a roll in the sack with the little lady
Go for a jog in the mountains and then take a nap out in the woods
Call a good old friend from back home: this one really brings you back to earth from this Korean unreality.
And one of my favorites: fight back. The retarded neighbor kid keeps leaving his bike where you park your car? No problem--just pitch it down into the ditch next time. Some Korean guy giving you the death stare? Just look his wife over and smile. Be a di-- on your own terms. The dancing promotion girls down the street at the store opening have their music cranked too loud? No problem if you have some nuts--just go over and remove the cassette and throw it in the street. What are they going to do? You're a waygook freak--who cares? The pimp? What's he going to do? It feels extremely good to not give a F---.
The above examples are extreme and true, yet for the most part I'm pretty well-adjusted--but now and then, it feels exceptional to get a little mental.

I think I've definitely been here too long. Hardyandtiny's comment actually made me laugh out loud.
