A creepy poem for igotthisguitar? Gladly... Only if she promises not to concoct conspiratorial rumours about me. I'll throw in a second verse if she quits the current events forum once and for all.

Yeah like WTF. Most women aren't foil hat wearing raving conspiracy nuts. They got better things to do with their time than clip net articles and randomly bold and underline passages that only have meaning to igotthisguitar.

Her man isn't puttin' it to her regular, maybe?

I did it. Thought I'd be in Japan for one year and then return, but having checked it out, I think I'll stay. The money is a bit better, the hours a bit lower, the work a bit easier, relations with boss a lot more hassle free. The xenophobia a lot more hidden so can't really work out the level, but it seems much less, and people are a gazillion times more pleasant and polite. Here people don't stare at you, they completely ignore you, it feels...so...normal...

Like someone else wrote...it's a no brainer.
Why anyone would stay in Korea when they could be on a beach in the Philippines or somewhere with comely lasses bringing them Mai Tais is beyond me.
As far as people who wrote they'll stick it out for their missus.... Rolling Eyes
Screw the wife....no woman is worth being imprisoned in the lifestyle Korea offers when you could be leading a vastly better one for the same $ elsewhere.

Yeah, cause we straight gals really get excited at the idea of having some comely lass bring us Mai Tais. Rolling Eyes

And with your "screw the wife attitude", the only one who'll be screwing her is some other guy. But hey, if you like threesomes that'll probably be fine with you.
