OP: I'm from Duluth. Korea is at least as safe as Duluth.


Hey almost brother!

I spent three great years in Duluth. Grades 1,2 and 3 and fine years they were.

I'm just the opposite. Twin Cities for grades 1-3, Duluth for grades 4-12. Then, of course, back to the Cities for College.

Once again, big, big thank you everyone.
Homer I'm not a DUDE, I'm a CHICK. But thanks for the supportive words.
I should have checked this board earlier. I would have felt more comfortable.

Duluth ? You guys are lucky. I'm from Shoreview. It's got to be one of the most boring places in the world. 25,000 people. Seoul's going to be crazy.

Damn right we were lucky. Had the lift bridge to fuel our childhood dreams.

Shoreview's, what, 30 minutes from downtown? I thought you were from Wabasso or somewhere on the Range. Yes, Seoul will be crazy. And you'll meet a lot of foreigner fruitcakes. Just like me.

And you realize you're posting on a message board at 8 o'clock on a Sunday morning, right?

Haha I know 8am. I was on here at 4am earlier. Last night was the big going away party. Crazy ending up on a computer drunk talking to strangers in another country. Hopefully I don't become one of those foreigner fruitcakes. Wink

Bomb Threats Cause Jitters
With anxiety growing following the unprecedented impeachment of President Roh Moo-hyun Friday, a series of destructive acts and threats targeting lawmakers continued to cause alarm over the weekend. In all this confusion, a number of people also attempted self-immolation, putting police on heightened alert.

Trust Real Reality to step in and spoil the party. I agree with the Saffers on this one - Korea is safe, despite having had my face kicked in and cash/ARC/pride stolen.

Lots of Southern Africans posted. What does it say about where we're from?

Well, the way I see it, it says that we're from a craphole. But that's just me, Mr. Diplomacy.

Drunk the other day and got really upset when I couldn't find the keys for the security gate. Also, the dogs were quiet all night long (Then figured out we have no gate here and the cat was not going to make a sound).

Uh... cool! I get drunk every night! Some people call it culture-shock because they're idiots (in fact, there's a new Korean ESL site that mentions this), but it's nothing like that. More of an "I like having fun, and so should everyone else" kind of attitude.

Have seen lots of drunk guys all over the place, (don't know how to paste pics), they don't seem to get robbed. Or do they?
