Yep, she's a cutie Laughing

I forgot to mention that I've become addicted to Binch biscuits. They go down a treat with a nice cup of tea.

Btw, are you guys sure this is the Rush and Cash babe? Doesn't look anything like her to me.

Yes. I am very sure. I have been following her career ever since I saw her make a guest apperance on "New Non-Stop" She has many looks. Here is a link to some images on Yahoo korea. You'll see that it is indeed her.

Sorry, but she (Han Chae Young) looks like

a nose job
a boob job
eye surgery
and spindly legs with no definition

I think Kim Junghwa is much better... she's all natural.


I agree with Cedar in that I also think that Kim Jung-hwa is better looking than Han Chae-young.

So, what makes life in Korea worth living for you?

Oh SHEET, I'm tempted to put a new spin on this threat:

Top five things I hate about Korea:

1. They don't sell my bras in my size ANYWHERE in the whole country (alnatural of course).

2. Not enough blonde haired blue eyed good looking Brad Pit types (darn!)

3. Korean food is just awful.... I miss good roast beef, lemon pepper trout and flamin HOT cheetos. Frito Lay, where are you when I need you Crying or Very sad .

4. Korean men are just not buff hunks.... too lean.

5. Expat men are just too ..... well... ugly looser fat types who think Korean women are ALL that.

bras- try leMille in COEX, They carry Western sized D cups ( though they're labelled something like H)

Roast beef- heard good things about a place called Suji's in Itaewon.

The men situation- I hear ya.

Peppermint, thanks gf. I need larger than D cup though. Confused

Roast beef- heard good things about a place called Suji's in Itaewon.
I'm going there in a few weeks so I'll have to check it out.
The men situation- I hear ya.

True story. I met this GREAT looking guy who would put Brad Pitt boy to shame. He's over six feet, six pack abs, great bod, incredible blue eyes, golden blonde hair and he could have any female he wanted with his late twenties self. We got to talking about him being stationed in Japan for years and taking trips to S. Korea. I asked him if he liked much about Japan or Asia in general. His response, "there weren't enough blonde girls and I don't miss anything there. I'm happy to be home." His next door neighbor told me he has girls over and parties every weekend. Guess the good ones go home..... Crying or Very sad

Suji's has bit the dust. Crappy food makes for a crappy business

I think you'll find that the dating game functions very much like the free market model. If you're having a hard time finding a suitable partner, the first thing to do is take a good long hard look at yourself ...

I'll never forget what my coworker's boyfriend said to me when I first came here to Korea. They are both from Canada. He said, ".... these other expat guys here are all a bunch of d!icks. They only think with one head. I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to beat the sh!t out of them." Say isn't it a good idea to listen to advice like this when you are a newbie here. I think he gave EXCELLENT advice.

I'm hanging out with Korean females these same guys only WISH they had a chance with...........ooooooooooo the jealously (it stings) and I see their faces now that have turned from dirty racist looks to looks like those poor puppy dogs I see at the street markets waiting their turns to be butchered. Oh well!

Lemonade,

For all the K-girl heralding that Ive read on these boards, my experience is that the guys in the ROK never ever turn down a bit of 'home 'grown'.

every non asian, not fat, attractive (ish) girl ive seen at bars and clubs has more white guys on her than flies on shiit. i find it BETTER to be a non asian here...its a novelty! the point is to not be a sloppy, ugly mess....in that case, its not the k-girls or the discerning tastes of the men here...its you (im speaking in general, not directing it at you...especially if you had some brad pitt all up on you).

I didn't move to Korea to meet Korean women, I moved to Korea because I met a very special one.

Anyway top 5 things about Korea I love:

1) My gf- I moved here because of her. We're getting married soon.
2) Low tax - I used to get so depressed looking at how much of my paycheck went in tax back in the UK.
3) Korean beef bqq- One of the only things I like about an otherwise awful food culture.
4) Brilliant cheap and efficent public transport- Something every country should have. Cheap taxi-bus fares. It is really cheap to travel around the country.
5) 24 hour beer available and a general huge amount of freedom

There are a load of things I dislike about Korea and a whole bunch of things I could say I hated but I'm doing the five + things for now. There are also a load of other positive things, that stuff's for another thread.
