Okay, this weekend we have company. SpiderJelly is visiting again. We'll be going out to eat and drink, see some touristy things probably, do some shopping. There is the Southern Sons Cocktail and BBQ place having a soft opening on Saturday that I plan to stop by, we'll be getting good makgeolli and going to the new best pajeon place. Find me on Kakao and we'll tell you where to go, or if you want to offer to lead an excursion that would be great too. I'm pretty awesome, but I'm sure he'd like some diversity in company. I'll toss the idea around of getting brazilian steak house for lunch on saturday too. If anyone knows of any other events going on, let us know.

Bugblatter posted:There's an extension for Chrome called Media Hint that lets you access the US Netflix/Hulu/all the other major streaming content providers from any country. You don't lose any speed using it, so everything will stream HD. Only wish I'd found it before subscribing to a VPN, as Media Hint is much better and free.

TreFitty posted:FWIW, I wouldn't trust any extension that offers free VPN traffic to view many gigabytes worth of transfer. Either they're stealing information from you (logins) or doing the same thing as Google when you use Chrome (watching your habits, looking at cookies, etc.) Not knocking Google Chrome, by the way....it's the best browser, so I use it. You misunderstood, it's not a VPN. It's just a hack that lets you get through the regional block of most of the streaming sites. Will probably be repaired on Netflix/Hulu/etc. ends eventually, but for now it works.

Media Hint on Chrome requests access to all websites. That's enough to ring alarm bells. Their privacy policy seems pretty legit.

I like to sit back and watch TV on a couch through my PS3 so a VPN is a better and more secure option. Anybody have recommendations? On a related note: What's TV like in Korea? Is it mostly variety shows with celebrities and comedians eating food? I can't imagine it's any good given the saccharine nature of most K-dramas that have gained worldwide popularity, but is it tolerable enough that one might use it to practice listening comprehension?

I was just trying to get laid. Hahaha. I have to say the 'marrying' part was easily predictable, but waiting at your house? That's just bit too much. Not discriminate gender but those type of girls are common in Korea. A blue eyed white Amurican (Although you don't really have to be caucasian, it's generally preferred.) prince on the back of white horse coming to 'save' (aka marrying the girl and taking her to Amurica) the girl, that is. Some non-Amuricans take advantage of this to lie and then marry the girls and then demand money for divorce and such. My advise is to just stop meeting the girl. She may be persistent at first then might give up after a while. Might talk on your back but oh well. I just knew something was fishy when you mentioned that she said Pizza Hut was the nicest place she's ever been to or whatever. But seriously, don't marry her.

Yeah dude, this right here screams low self esteem. I wonder if crazy eyes is a thing in korea. But ultra clingy quick moving thing isn't 'just korea' thing, the answer here is the same as at home: sever that poo poo. Good luck resolving your new stalker situation.

And watch your back at night. She could be the type that could go 'well if I can't, then nobody else shall have you!' Jokes aside, bad call taking her to your house or letting her know where you live. You'll be lucky if she doesn't come to your house in the middle of the night to start screaming so that every neighbour can hear her when you reject her. You gotta watch out for stalkers these days. Maybe this is a lesson.

Just spent a good amount of the night talking about Galaga with a Korean bartender and watching him play Super Mario RPG on his phone. I really like this country sometimes.

You took her to Vatos, didn't you? Now she thinks you're gonna whisk her away to Manhattan so she can be Korean Carrie Bradshaw. Then again, most of the girls in Korea I think we would want to whisk away are already living the high life somewhere, so who's to say? Certainly there's no shortage of ones dying to escape this country that no one would think twice about for one reason or another. Also, Super Mario RPG on a phone? Was that some kind of hack? Because I spent hundreds of hours playing that game as a kid.

Nah wasn't open so we went to tacos amigos or whatever. Probably should have backed off a bit when she started crying over tacos. Whatever, I'm going for it. And yeah, totally crazy eyes. Seminar thing hasn't even started yet and I hate everything and everyone. I've turned into the bitter self hating foreigner.

This one has not been bad at all by Korea standards. I am still miserable, as I am any time the temperature rises above 10 C, but compared to the last two it's nowhere near the same level. I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Keep in mind it's still June. You'll probably be hating life just the same as you always did once it's the beginning of August. She really cried over tacos? Sounds like some kind of imbalance. I wish I could introduce people to mundane poo poo and have them weep tears of joy.

So she starts crying and then is like "do you think I'm good enough for America!?!" She cries over loving everything though. This is like, one time she cried with me out of a dozen.
