In 2003 during my fist month here, a Korean man in his fifties started a conversation with me which ended up with him both inviting me to join his church group and have intercourse with his wife as he wasn't able to anymore. I accepted his name card to try and not seem rude. Then I freaked out and left making sure I wasn't being followed as I was very close to my apt and didn't want him knowing where I lived.
In all honesty I was kinda lonely in my first monht, adventurous and horny as hell so I did hold on to that namecard for a week or so and I did consider contacting him and sleeping with the wife, but in the end thought better of it.
Good times. |

I knew this American guy once. Him being American actually matters, because he saw his lack of Korean skills as a matter of culturally superiority. After a decade on the peninsula he still couldn't read, could barely speak even the most basic Korean that most of us can speak immediately after arrival, couldn't use chopsticks and didn't really know anything about Korea.
When he wasn't going on about the return of Christ or how atheists were inhuman and had no morals, he liked to carry his laptop around with him (I'm assuming he has an iPad now) and shoving it in the face of every Korean he had to interact with. He always had Google Translate or Babelfish up and he'd translate English to Korean on the fly and make unsuspecting Koreans read it as key to doing business/talking with him. He'd make them type with it and translate if they couldn't speak English at all (and one old lady almost hit him over the head with it).
He also had a car and would offer to take people places all the time (assumingly for free). Since I met him at a GEPIK orientation in the middle of nowhere, Yongin, he was taking a lot of people a lot of places. When they arrived, he would ask them to pony up dough, often the same amount as if each person was taking an individual taxi. |
How does this matter? |

Here's a few:
(1) Bill, Eighty-something. You might find him around Itaewon. He's British, but joined the American army in the 50s, and was sent to Korea. Did his job in the war, married a Korean. I think he spent some meantime in the US, but has lived in Korea since the 70s or more. Double-hard bastard and likes a drink. And he's in his 80s, so older than almost anyone you know.
DOH: I was gun write a list. But I dun forgot who else I wuz gon rite about. |

As I said before, this isn't a thread for recalling freaky people. |

| I bowed to Hong Su Hwan a few days ago if that's anything. I bet at his age he can still kick most people's asses. |

| While taking a group on tour of Jeonju I met the grandson of the last king of Korea. Turns out we were almost neighbors in Southern California and that of all things, he had some limited popularity as a rockabilly singer. |

This happened last month when I was in central Seoul. I met a retired middle age Russian diplomat who can speak Korean, English and Turkish. He married a Korean woman in Uzbekistan. His brother used to be a communication officer with the North Korean military while he was serving in the Soviet Navy (Far Eastern Division). Both he and his brother can speak Korean, albeit a thick North Korean accent.
Anyways. It's very hard to find middle age ethnic Russians who can speak Korean in this country.  |
