The first half of the video is pointless. But it gets kinda interesting when the guy throws the bike at the garbage truck.

is it me, or is the foreigner community in japan even more full of weird dumbasses than the one here? I've only been there for a total of 2 weeks in my life, so I can't say, but sometimes I get that impression.

I didn't watch the video but I lived in Japan for a short time and met a few very kooky Gaijin.

They had found themselves little jobs in country towns and had completely withdrawn from society. They never socialised, didn't have partners and didn't really do anything. Just worked and lived. Thing is they had been doing that for years. Kind of opting out of life I thought.

I always have to chuckle to myself when people prattle on about the "feaky Waegookin" here. Sure, there are a fair share of freaks here, but in general the expat population has nothing on other places in Asia. I visited some friends in Taiwan once and the foreign teacher/expats there were ten times worse. Waaaaay more violent and aggressive, massive chips on their shoulders almost to the point of being sociopathic. And don't even get me started on some expats I've had the misfortune to meet in places like Cambodia and Vietnam.

I am just a little bit more than shocked at the level of disrespect you guys are demonstrating for the high quality of low class dysfunctional waygookin we have here in Korea. While the title holder may reside elsewhere, I'm sure a representative group of our losers could hang their heads right down there with any group from any other country.

Please, gentlemen. A little more respect where it is due.

Question is...
does the country create the character of its expats?
or is it that a certain type of character is drawn to a certain country?

I would say in certain SE Asain countries it's the former rather than the latter. But really, what is there to differentiate between here and, say, Taiwan? It struck me as having a lot of similarities IMO.

Bunch of pricks. Good on the garbage man. Wow, harassing homeless people and throwing their bikes around - yeah, that's real cool, man. Notice how he totally pusses out when someone stands up to his bullying ass. I hope the cops hauled him off to gaol.

What a loser (the white dude). I like the garbage man. I'll buy him a beer if I ever see him.

We know the answer to that one. Certain nasty types of character are definitely very much drawn to Thailand and Cambodia unfortunately - not many here thank god.

Yeah and a minute before he was asking his mates to dare him to fight the old man. Tough enough to take on an old man but a total chicken faced with someone close to his own age and weight. And notice how his mates hold up their hands in horror as if he was an innocent victim? Contemptible.

well obviously he wasnt thinking when he throw the bike infront of the garbage man trucks.. I mean come on!! you think that guy is gonna be a wimp?? JESUS I knew it soon as he did that that he was gonna get a beating.. garbage men are not doing those jobs becuase they are wimps!
he probably though all japanese were simple office workers etc..
man those kind of STUPID waygooks are the kind that get beat up often!
I wish the garbage man smacked him more times.. he was never going to fight back.. TOTAL BUNCH OF LOSERS!!!

You're right, it's the garbage man who deserves a beer. I was hoping he'd smack that stupid cap off his head.

it's funny how the buddy with the camera is just laughing at his friend while he's taking a (minor) beating. obviously the jackass has done this a number of times before and his friends are sick of pulling out of the messes he creates.

i have had friends who don't get backed up by other friends in a brawl... because they're usually the ones starting them and then getting their asses beat.

i think this video has been a supporting argument for the beauty of watching dudes who try to cop that 'urban redneck ashton kutcher' look get the crap beat out of them.

do you drive a truck to work? no? then stop wearing trucker caps, goof.

of course the country has a say in who it attracts. Korea appears to me as the best country for making money, so the people that come here, for one reason or another, are interested in money. I went to a small private school, and need to pay off my loans. I heard Japanese girls are a lot more sexual (i know i am generalizing, but bear with me) so the males that go there are going to be interested more in girls than money...
you get the point....
