"knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting them in fruit salad." Brian O'Driscoll (I wish someone would explain this to Koreans)

I graduated five years ago with a Physics major, couldn't find any good jobs near where I lived and ended up doing the night shift at a supermarket for a year and a half (and being paid surprisingly well!). After I had enough of that, and the job situation getting no better, I fled to South...

A lot of (South) Koreans I've spoken to are worried that the transitional phase will result in more shelling/ something worse happening to South Korea, as a power struggle happens over the leadership. Also, as someone mentioned earlier his son was apparently responsible for the recent more...

went to the asia song festival on Saturday, saw SNSD, Miss A, Super Junior, G.Na, U-Kiss and Beast, as well as some up-and-coming new groups... awesome atmosphere, although we were sat right infront of the Beast fan section, so couldn't really hear anything but screaming for most of their...

some sweet winter shoes: http://jtshop.cafe24.com/click/html/emilysz-b.htm less than 20bucks a pair!

crowded clubs.. I really don't like it when my mates won't go to a club unless it's jam-packed full of people (obviously I don't like completely empty clubs either, I just need some space to show my moves)

we play this at the bar sometimes... the korean version has ridiculous dares written on the swords (like write your name with your butt, and kiss the person to your left's hand). We also use the rule that if you make it pop you have to drink, but if you catch it everyone else drinks, but if you...

maybe the girl in the 4th picture suddenly fell through the floor? I was going to take the piss more, but looking at some of my facebook pictures I'm just as bad....

Cass (cheap-ass Korean beer, but strangely addictive) if I don't want to get drunk, Jaeger-bombs if I do. But we can't get Red Bull here, so we use some really strange energy/ vitamin drinks to make the bombs, so everyone is different!

I'm 24, and definitely don't class myself as "grown-up". I pretty much still live the university life- drinking most nights, sleeping til 1 everyday, playing computer games with my mates a lot... if I was living in a country where I was expected to look after myself I'd probably be screwed, but...

I've been learning Korean on and off for about a year now (seeing as I live in Korea, it seems like a good idea...) I can do basic conversational stuff (especially while drunk, apparently), but I don't have a regular teacher, and my self-motivational skills are close to zero, so I am learning...

because i need the phone more than anything else, so I don't like having to rummage at all for it. I also generally wear jeans with pretty big pockets so overflowing isnt an issue.... (plus I'm a little paranoid about scratching my phone :/

Right Pocket: Phone Left Pocket: Wallet, car keys, house keys, mp3 with earphones, couple of boardpens, pencil, gum, spare change, scissors. Yes, I am a bit strange....

I'm a teacher, working 17hours a week, 4pm to either 8 or 9pm... it's a dead easy job, teaching English to elementary age Korean kids. Pay isn't bad either, and I get a free apartment!
