My friend made a video about the town we lived in rural Korea! It's hilarious and 14 minutes long. It's a great laugh. THe guy at the gym was always a riot to hang with! This is for all you noobs looking to seek the woods.... perhaps you want to think twice!

Dude, I get it!! Ironically I miss it sometimes when I'm bogged down in MA TESL work.... no regrets in going though.

You walked down the street. You went to the market. You went to the gym. You deskwarmed. You went to work. You took all your clothes out of your closet for some reason. You did your washing. You went on Facebook. You did your washing.

I'm going to do a video about my town.

I woke up.

I responded to some emails.

I did my taxes.

I taught some hakwon.

I watched some television.

I spilled some makgeolli on myself. Then I changed my shirt.

I smoked a cigarette.

Then I came to Dave's and skipped through half a video on youtube.

You owe me ten minutes.

Why some people are flaming you is beyond me.
I thought the video was a bit insightful and quite amusing.

Your small town in rural Korea looks more developed than my neighborhood in Seoul. I'm looking to move somewhere rural.

I wish there were more vids to come. Well done Smile

Well, I suppose I can relate to it as I lived there. It was kind of boring, but, it was reality!

As far as owing anyone 10 mins of their life back, let me know when your school gives your weeks sitting on end during break back, and i'll return your call.

I really enjoyed living in that town, granted, it was boring. The Mr. Baek at the gym was great. Always a laugh. My friends had a less than fantastic experience, but like you say, it's all about being open minded.

I thought it was pretty funny. But, this is coming from someone who is hoping to be in Korea for the first time in August.

Maybe I will find this topic in a year and complain about how horrible this video is Confused

Your place looks nice. And to have such a celebrity at your gym? Oooh lala!

Uh, it looked like there were only eight or so kids in that class during the first part of the second video. Heaven!!! Way better than dealing with the thirty or so students that most city schools have per class.

I'm not going to make a video, let's just pretend I did.

Today I woke up and turned on the tube, then I went to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth in the bathroom. Then I talked to my boss and booked my continuing flight and requested to be paid in Euro next month. Then I went to the US Embassy Website to register my exit, where I found the answer to a guy's question about severance pay at the end of a year when it's not in the contract. So I came to Dave's ESL Cafe to post the answer to the question and a link to the source. Then I checked my mail and got the receipt and itinerary for my flight. Then I came here and refreshed the forums, and posted this post. Now I'm going to go to the embassy website and register my departure. After that, I'll go get some breakfast.

Hope you liked it!
