AmbientParadox posted:Gangneung is removing the barbed wire fences. That's going to be awesome to have all of that east coast beach space open up. Hopefully it's finished in time for summer. I was already under the impression that Korea has tons of beach space, would rather see it as a national park.

My cousins are from Alabama and two of them went to Auburn. I'll ask them and get back to you. BTW Birmingham, AL is not safe at all, just a heads up on that.

Building your own pc runs maybe 10 to 20 percent more. GPUs have the biggest markup, from what I've seen. To build one you'll need to go to one of the electronics markets, usually they will even build it for you at no charge. If they haven't told you where your going yet, are you in general EPIK, or one of the province level ones, like Chungnam province?

Come on over and have fun for a year. We all take the jobs we have for different reasons. Also gnet is done hiring for the year, but if you are looking for something in the future let me know. e. Gnet sucks you in, I could move on to another job, but can't convince myself to do so.

If you want to bring something this year, whether it be a pie, casserole, or 2 pounds of cream cheese, you are more than welcome too. Try to let me know though, as we don't want to have a situation where we 25 pies. I'll post an anticipated menu about a month beforehand.

Pretty sure you're required by law to get one day off per month worked in your first year, that gets deducted from your total leave that you're awarded for your first year of work.

I think it's pretty random. When I sliced my head open, I got 7 staples and it cost like 15k. When I was bleeding to death, they stuff something in my nose and I sat there for an hour. Cost me 50k.

Ulsan, so probably rich kids Bugblatter posted:Thunderdome? Well, I literally teach at thunderdome middle school (All boys middle). Hourly fights are normal with kids breaking limbs of their opponents on occasion. Have had kids knock teeth out in my own class. I'm usually faster to intervene than my coteachers, because they are really poor at recognizing a fight brewing. If you're a weak kid in class, look out, you will be teased, have everything you own stolen (including your bike), and get sucker punched (This goes for teachers too. If I appear unwell in any way, the students will basically challenge me to battle). The worst was when one kid pushed another down the stairs and he laid there having a seizure. He was hospitalized for a couple weeks. We also stopped all school trips to theme parks or anything where the students would interact with other middle schools, because they would keep getting into fights. Hell, the kids go to other middle schools to rumble. You know those animes where the boys at the thug high school just fight all day, and then join forces to fight other schools. That's pretty much my school. Though, they are fighting significantly less this year.
