I can't be bothered to read every swingle post in this thread, but have lower income taxes and (for most people) free accomodation been mentioned? Sure, some items are more expensive (fruit, veggies, gas, beef), but I used to pay well over 35-40% income tax back home. Here I pay barely 5%.

I save a lot more in Korea, no doubt!

Wow, doctor bacon, I just read the 14 post you have made on Dave's. I would just like to say "Welcome" to the newest, most obnoxious poster on Dave's. But, you are probably just a sock anyways.

Perhaps, but I agree with his assessment on the lack of interesting architecture, specifically residential.

Poll question:

Do you like your trolls obvious, obnoxious and consistently trollish?

Or do you prefer the more subtle approach, that is, where they will turn the shtick off & on, and the delivery is a bit more, oh, patchy, shall we say?

I choose the first one. It puts me more at ease knowing they are a troll.

Although, sometimes it is fun really trying to figure it out.

A patchy approach tends to annoy me too much. Too tedious. Too long.

I prefer a lighter, breezier approach--an almost princessy style.

But I don't want to stay off topic here so let me say that:

In Korea, talk is cheap. Yeah.

He usually has what I have in a restaurant too. He remarked how our feet are the same length when we put them together, too. But his are just wider. I wear 230/235 shoes and he wears 255/260. Same length though^^ How cute can you get? A fortune teller says he is Fire and I am Gold too. hehehe kekeke


That makes me go: hehehe kekeke.
