If she was American I would have laughed.
Surely not Korean? I can understand about never having taco but never having pizza or nacho? I refuse to believe!

Also... Hapy happy Taco Bell in happy happy Korea! :v:

They put tuna in the chicken to save at Taco Bell the first and last time I went there I had a chicken soft taco that tasted like a tuna soft taco. Pulled out a piece and it was absolutely fish. Eccccchh.

This is the taco you should be having in Seoul. Or the other one, but it's not as big.

These are the largest tacos you'll get in Korea at a restaurant with the most filling.

The al pastor Tacos at Takorea in Daejeon are the best in the country. The owner is from Mexcio city and imports his ingredients from LA. He even makes his refried beans from scratch.

If she were Korean, she almost certainly would've had nachos, and she certainly would've had pizza she thought was good, without realising it's terrible.

If you're not afraid to leave the sleaze of Itaewon behind, Don Charly in 경리단 is worth a try. There's only like six seats in the place though.

Well, like yeah. Of course she thought it was good pizza. But you and I both know it wasnt. I never said she didn't have pizza, just no good pizza.

I'm pretty sure this girl aint lying to me about being Korean. Maybe, but she plays it off well I guess.

But it went well, we didn't get into vatos (when the gently caress do they open?) but we went to tacos amigos and everything was cool. Thanks Cameron, her first trip to Itaewon was magical.

Makgeolli rules, like really hard. Some of it though is poorly made and tastes like sour mushrooms or something. You gotta find the good stuff.

This though is not good, second worst food I've ever had in my life. Friend made me eat all of it, rock scissors paper to see who ate every piece. Cant really beat a Korean person at rock scissors paper. At least not enough.

And it gets in your skin and you smell like piss and feet, just nasty nasty stuff.

Isn't hongeo just an excuse to get wasted? Maybe she's just an alcoholic. Or she misses natto and is trying to fill the nastiness void. (Full disclosure: I like natto, but only with ketchup. Which is worse.)

Also, many thanks to GF and Brimmy for answering my annoying questions!

It probably is. Eat a piece then gulp down a shot of soju to wash away the awful taste.

Anyone here tried Maehwasu though?

Don't underestimate that awful taste of diluted ethanol mixed with saccharin that is the modern day soju.

I prefer baijiu over soju and if I post that in the China threads they'll lynch me (maybe Pro PRC Laowai will buy me some drinks). Seriously, soju sucks, praise be upon the rotting rice.

Who would leave Japan to live in Korea? Is she Korean-Japanese?

An honest question here - not a statement that Japan is way better or anything. Just the economics of it alone confuses me here. Is she single? I've heard time and again that Japanese women are not impressed by their choice of men.

Prolly the same answer as all of us. Gotta get paid, get laid, get made. I've known a couple of Japanese teachers around here and in our broken 3 language conversations it seems like there ain't no jobs for recent college grads where they were from.

Yeah pretty much. If you're under 30ish in Japan you are fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucked.

E: Also all the Japanese girls I know mention that they get treated better here, both by society and by men, so they like that too. Actually every Japanese girl I've ever met has wanted to get the gently caress away from Japanese men ASAP. Korea's a relatively easy way to start that.

So that answers my question pretty well, but I have a new thought: being Japanese in Korea must suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
