Yeah, I know. People think surreptitiously taking photographs of regular citizens who are simply going about their daily lives is the height of humor. Things have really gone downhill there lately.

Nah. You didn't have a career plan or set any goals. That's why you left Rolling Eyes

You left because you were hanging out in Walmart everyday?

What about those who left after they planned it that way and intend on staying gone for their career, oh master of assumption?

You can say whatever you want about me, but I noticed all of these "America is better, Koreans are stupid, blah blah blah" posts. Sometimes I get home sick but then I remembered what its like at home. So this is a friendly reminder of what our so called pinnacle of Western Civilization is really like. Adjoshis don't have anything on hillbillies, junkies, skinheads, red necks, gang bangers, and of course just good ol' plain white trash. I had a career but I was not happy with what I had trained and worked for. Just enjoy the funny picture you pretentious clown shoes.

I don't think anybody is saying individual Americans are better than individual Koreans. America has superior institutions and a superior political tradition that both are falling into misuse and decay. Korea, however, has never had these to begin with.

I get the opposite feeling, the website makes me miss America and WalMart. Look at how much individuality you can see. People willing to be themselves no matter what. I've seen some pretty weird looking people at WalMart too. It's fun.

This is why I go to Target. Both are big box stores, but Target is usually clean, while going to WalMart is disgusting and I feel the need of a shower after leaving that place. There aren't a lot of Walmarts in the larger urban areas, at least around me, so it's usually not much of an option anyways.

There are more than 2 places in the world: USA or Korea aren't the only options.

(dear Commonwealth people PLEASE stay out of it!)

That's why I heard a lot of people back home call it the "Gay man's Walmart"

They even went so far as to say that its red and white interior are supposed to be a subconscious implication of pink.

Not that I care, it's a nicer store. Prices are slightly higher than Walmart, though.
