boring is in the eye of the beholder. I still have some curiosity left for Korea.

Well, look what happens when I wander away from the forum for 24 hours.

Quite a few good comments among the dross that Psy and Wylde are exchanging.

In my first two weeks here, I ended up in the middle of the impeachment demonstrations quite by accident. I hadn't a clue what was going on until someone I was wedged up against explained it to me. Now, I don't know where you all are from but where I come from, and quite often where I've been, you don't get stuff like that. I found it interesting.

With the wife, we wandered down to Dongdaemun (or, as I'm sure Wylde calls it - Ddongdaemun). Now, I don't know about you but back where I come from and in a lot of places I've been marketing takes on a noticeably more mundane tone than in the depths of the basement of the Dongdaemun Chain store.

Just two examples of how I've found this place interesting in the brief two months I've been here. You may not find them interesting and the aforementioned colleague didn't either. His loss I said. Personally, I don't know why he bothers coming here at all. I told him that you have to take and make your opportunities wherever you live. Labelling it boring is only an indication of your lack interaction with ANY foreign culture.

Sometimes it isn't boring. It can feel new or different at times. You can go to a new place or try a new food or meet a new character. But sometimes it is boring. It's the sameness of almost everywhere in the country I guess, though there is still a good bit of the country I haven't seen. Someone called Canada boring. But there is still a lot more variety. Just walk down many streets in Vancouver, Montreal or Toronto and see how many different restaurants you can find. Here in Korea, well, Itaewon and I don't know...

Funny that the Canadians, despite glorifying their country to death, are usually the first ones back to Korea. Wylde calls Koreans "trained monkeys" and no one censors this comment and I put out stats on certain people and they are censored...inept mods, please explain your double standards.

Boring? Not for me...I can eat kimchi all day long!

[steelhead]

for me its the weekdays, I work fairly long hours, and living in Mokdong(fucking boring) it can get pretty stale, and sometimes want to shoot myself but by the end of the week blow off some steam...........
get sort of refreshed then back to the grind....

Now that the weather is better, hopefully will be able to shake the cabin fever.....

my wife is one of those trained monkeys...

it was in reference to the uniform behaviour or koreans in general.. what i started commenting on was the zoo bit..

lets get it clear yaya...

whilst some things koreans do piss me off beyond comprehension.. that is MY problem.. not yours.. i love this joint (korea) and on daves i am able to vent my frustrations.

people can put shit on george bush left, right and center but when it is another.. oh yea.. spit the dummy..

korean are robots imo.. but this joint still rocks
