So, you started a thread to boast? What does the monastery say about the above collections?

If she had responded to someone biatching about life after Korea and said, "hey this is what I got out of Korea", that'd be one thing. But, she started a thread to brag about look at this and that. 3 tv's for a 2 bedroom? Good lord! We have a 2 bedroom too for just the 2 of us, but we sure as *beep* don't have 3 tv's. It also sounds like a lot of excess for an ex-monk.

dude, he's not an ex-monk. he was just giving an analogy. the ex-monk was someone he ran into whose feelings reflected his own after 10 years in korea.

You're right. My bad. I'm not on here often enough to know for sure who's who. I kind of thot that mole was a guy from the football threads, but when he said he met some guy in Korea I thot he had found his partner. My mistake.

Life while still in Korea: be a bitter douche bag who feels personally attacked when another person says something good about their own life.

Wait, that's just pegpig.

Douche bag? How fucking old are you? How am I feeling personally attacked? That makes no fucking sense. It just seems like boasting to me. fyi - I haven't lived in Korea for nearly a year.

I guess there is no "life after korea" for some people.


I admire those who has found a new home in this country, though I would agree with this poster. There is definitely life after Korea for me.

Now and then you can still find a good quote worthy of a sig here on Dave's. This is one of them.

What Mr rawiri said was also good and more applicable in this situation though.

3 televisions? yeah god man! what in hell do you do with such wealth! Rolling Eyes Very Happy

One in the lounge, bedroom and kitchen right? or toilet! haha. sounds good to me!

Anyway, life after korea is great. I dont miss much really. none of my mates are left there to miss. the only thing really is the bbq marathons, and the lg 25 sessions into the wee hours. aprt from that, you guys can have it. The only thing i feel bitter about is not leaving earlier, say 6 months earlier. really shouldnt have come back for my 4th year,. but hey, i did, its gone, cant get it back. I am now halfway through my teaching diploma. all the skills i learnt in korea can definitly be applied to what i ultimately want to do, teach. My life now is superb. Why just last night i went down to the beach, played frisebee and smoked up a storm. came home, ate chips and dip, had sour cream on m y nachos, paid 1 dollar for an avacado and woke up to kclear, and yes i mean real clear, blue skies and the birds were singin! but ultimately, its all about the food. and the herb, but more the food. I can never regret the time i spent in korea, but i knew there was a life back home for me. lovin it! oh and its rugby season. pity i dont have 3 tv's!

Well. This is evolving nicely.
Shame on you, Pegpig. You know me better than you're letting on.
And it's not the first time I've been mistaken for a female here on Dave's. Evil or Very Mad

I fully intended to do a post on home furnishings here shortly. But since it came up..
I definitely didn't come back here to boast or brag. I came to offer encouragement, maybe some advice, and to rag on negative people.
The 3 TVs was kind of a shopping mishap. I'm a sucker for a bargain.
It's not like they're big screen plasma TVs. They're actually kind of crappy, but they are new. ~WalMart~ <--subliminal plug

Shame on me. You're right. I do think you're a good shit. I'd tell my friends to their face though if I thot they were boasting - and I have.

Getting the sexes confuzzed? I still think tum is a she.
