If so, where did you go on your first date? I'll be damned before I'll go to one of the only two Korean restaurants in the country.

Yep. Two near the top of Parnell street. There's also a 'Korean bar'...Korean staff, Korean beer available, Korean customers and annoying music.

If you go to a Korean restaurant in your home country, do they still refer to you as "waygookin"?

I don't know, good question. Are you asking whether or not 'waygookin' is a discriminatory term?

Quote: aarontendo, the post directly above this.

Is that because you believe they hate us, or because waygookin is a neutral term for foreigner?

Yes, they do, because it means you are not Korean.

Walking into people is a symptom of short-sightedness - so no, it doesn't count.

Yeah: She wanted to be surprised, so I took her to the homecoming game for the school I was teaching at. Then we went out for dinner somewhere relatively nice and then stopped at two or three bars. By then, she was mine. We dated for quite a while after that.

I met my wife in Vancouver. For our first date, we watched the fireworks at English Bay.
