Have you tried having your co worker call/text your phone? Two of my GI hood rats had success with that.

Even amoung the sex tourists they are known as the worst. Cheap, abusive and no fun. I dont know how you get a worse reputation than wrinkly old europeans or mustache weilding pedos, but by god did Korea get number one position as most hated.

To be fair... that list was hilarious and a light hearted responce to nationalistic yellow journalism. Next was philipinos trash talking about korea to Maxwell, pretty openly I’m assuming. Hes finding it funny how openly they bash others. Nullscan is just a terrible poster so itsallright. I wouldnt jump the gun on decrying "Koreans are all..." yet.

big boi posted:4) Kimchi is gross as gently caress. Kimchi is pretty bad. I'm getting used to kimchi. Hey, kimchi is growing on me. I can't live without kimchi. This exact thing happened to me. After that I realized how koreans go batshit insane over their addiction to Kimchi. I was first exposed at the age of 19, I can't imagine how the hunger grows if it was the first thing put into your mouth as a baby. 1) Oh, I can smoke inside this bar/restaurant/pcbang/stairwell? I have truely come to the promised land. 2) This pcbang has an instant messanger to the front desk. When I type Mountain Dew in there they bring it to me and put it on my tab. Guess Imma stay in this chair for the next 30 hours. 3) Those walnut cream filled pastry thingies that come out of the 1930's crispy cream conveyerbelt is in god's gift to my mouth. 4) HAHAHAHA, Koreans think they like spicy things. But they really don't. 5) (When I first arrived in Gunsan, Jeollabukdo) Holy poo poo all these high rises and neon filled skyscapes are amazing. This bus took me to the set of Bladerunner. (1 year later) Gunsan is middle of nowhere podunk country where the country goes to gently caress their sheep in a rice paddy. (Going back to the states) WHAT THE HELL I CAN SEE THE HORIZON

DontAskKant posted:Please accept my submission for Worst/Most Ridiculous job posting in Korea. As a Utahn native who has many friends who are/were missionaries (albiet mormon, so I don't know how it is in other denominations) this looks kinda scketchy. They don't seem too picky as far as denomination which is irregular and their website makes no effort to clarify which on they follow. Also that they farm you out to do normal hagwon duties to "help suppliment tuition to MKs students" screams that this school is expensive as poo poo. I'd really like to get a hold of my ol mormon buddies to see how non-legit this is. As a normal person though, good god is that pay insulting. Almost as insulting as saying anyone who want's market price is trying to occupy wallstreet. Edit: I should clarify that as far as missionary pay goes that is actually pretty ok. Mormon missionaries have to pitch in for their travel expense and get a redic low stripend for living. My main concern is that this is not a legit missionary school, but I don't have any sort of expertise on Korean Christian culture. KirbyKhan fucked around with this message at 03:10 on Feb 19, 2013 |

DontAskKant posted:"In accordance with the Korean Labor Standards Act article 5, the employer must not discriminate against workers by nationality, religion, social status or gender." AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Yeah, the trick is schools who ask for a face photo. MY GIRLFRIEND got rejected outright from a few places that she sent a face photo to. She knows those jobs were racistish, hell errybody knows there is a racist undercurrent here, but good luck ever proving that. Now Im off to be certified with ESL, TESOL, and Sogang language training to make up for the fact I'm brown.

drat, 10k an hour. Not bad to get the weekly scrubbing outta the way. On the base I have a lady come in to do light vacuuming, trash pick up, and tidying every weekday. The real value is that she does my laundry and injects 5 hours of free time into my week. Only costs 25usd every two weeks. Also military are the worst, most clueless people in korea. I know for they are my people.

TreFitty posted:edit: may NOT be out of the woods. I still need to learn Korean when I get to America if I'm to marry the girl I've been dating for over 3 years now. I've known a whole lotta people who learned a language to get into new and exciting pants. My ol' horn dog buddy was like the only other non-gyopo GI in my warehouse who had a grasp on korean language. A couple other folks are fluent in Tagalog because they love their wife and that seems like a cool reason. I took the effort to learn because I wanted to impress my other mil folks and the locals alike. poo poo was a cool self esteem boost. It's also been like a life goal to re-enact that scene from 13th Warrior.

Cameron posted:So if I want to grab Cinnabon, do I just walk through the gates or what? I'm an American citizen, but I've never gone on base before. What exactly am I supposed to do? Anything special? Basic is you have to be escorted on by someone with base access. Just trawl around the GI bars outside the gate and make a buddy or hit up one of the mil goons (hi nullscan). You will need to surrender your ARC card at the front gate, be within eyesight of your escort at all times, and you technically cannot buy anything from the main store or grocer (box and commissary). The fast food is exactly the same as back home. You'll be bewildered by hearing all conversations in English, and how trashy us GIs dress when out and about. I don't think it's worth it, but I lived on a base so it should be new and exciting for you.

aeglus posted:eating an enormous grilled cheese burrito Oh jesus, I forgot about that. If you are ever missing home, get your rear end on a base. That poo poo is like homesickness triage for an american. Not exactly the same, but gets the spirit with what resources we got here. ^^^^^ Yeah, I wouldn't hold my breath for an air show. Best bet is to get a GI. BX and COmmissary are off limits, but the knife kiosk, lovely art store, and GNC don't check IDs. The food court is free game, as is the Chillies. I want to say there is a Cinnabon over in Osan AB (Songtan Stn).

Can't be forgetting how they got your back and keep records of all your communications just in case you ever need a record of it. Don't need health care if you don't get sick, don't need public trans cuz busses are for poors who can't afford cars, and they can read all they want, I ain't done nuffin wrong and if you haven't either you shouldn't be scared. I kid, I kid, those are all terrible terrible things. All made up for the fact I can get 24 hour burritos handcrafted by immigrants a no more than 4USD a peice.

slacjs posted:Anyone know anything about the expat scene in Daejeon or Boryeong (보령)? All you need to know is STAY AWAY FROM MY GIRLFRIEND I'LL KILL YOU. DON'T THINK I WON'T. Real talk, I spent a whole lotta weekends over in Daejeon. It is a fine town, the foreign food is legit and I wasn't even able to explore one tenth of what it had to offer durring my time there. The expat scene does have a small town vibe to it from what I heard from the people who live there. Everybody knows everybody's business. But, it is big enough that you can escape from that if you choose to not go to the 'specifically foreign' places. Braindance: Is she rich? She sounds like it if she gots a car and can just leave her place whenever she wants to. If she is, I say accelerate this poo poo and start poking holes in yo trojans.

The huge wok and the tube ventalation over your table can be substituted by a hotplate and a disregard for fire/public saftey. They do that for the ROK restaurant on my old base. When you get like 10 tables ordering up samgyapsal with 3 kerosine burners providing heat, you feel lightheaded before the first shot of soju.
