Okay the mob mentality persists. His question happens to be legit. Once one poster spots what seems to be a troll, everyone steps on the bandwagon.

I'll be happy to help this guy out. Join a gym in your area, find a co-teacher who happens to be single and can help show you around. That's how I started my first week here.

Sorry this is a bit late. There is an outdoor court in Jangchung Park, asphalt court, so don't bring a leather ball. Take #3 orange Line subway, get off at Dongguk University, get out of the exit which leads to Dongguk University, and the Park is in front of you, to the left of the Police Station. The basketball court is past the trees and the croquet pitch. Crowded sometimes in the evenings with people walking their dog, riding bikes, and playing basketball. Occasionally you will see Russians or Mongols in the benches.

If you want to make new friends, an idea is to get a group of Russian and Mongolian kids and teach them how to play basketball once a week say. In fact anywhere you see a court and kids playing basketball you can offer to teach them.

It's tough.

Different people try different things.

One option is to attach a big picket sign to your back and play guitar in front of the Itaewon Burger King on weekends.

This thread is gold. I can't remember the last time someone came for advice here and started off by insulting all and sundry present.


All he needs to do is shoot steroids and refer to himelf in the turd person.


Joe Thanks, you're stupid!
