Brandon's Arrival

Hello hiya doin'? Man i can't wait for you to come over here. I'm homesick. things are going good with teaching but administration sux. They just keep stringing us along. i dunno if they dunno what they are doing or if they are incompetent or if they are just plain mean. i have to show my ass to get some straight answers. For instance.. we get oone week vaction.. must be at the same time. we picked a time 3 weeks ago.. today we found out they changed it! without telling us! if i hadn't asked a cvertain queston we would not have found out till the week of the vaction. wait NON VACATION. evidently the principal wants to have a party- attendence mandatory therefore ..no vacation.. he planned the party 2 weeks ago. we found out 3 week to freaking late! Some peopl had flights booked already. It's a mess man! Anyway enough bitching.. i'm slimmer and healthier from tonsilitis. I'm busy but content and i'm making memories that will last a lifetime.. by the way. thanks again for supporting my crazy misadventures.

LOVE IS A LOSING GAME

I need some advice... I’d love some input. I would describe myself as a deep thinker. At times I’ve been told that I think too much. I over analyze the hell out of anything and everything until I can find an answer that is firstly true, secondly explanatory, and lastly profound. It’s how I roll. The issue in question: the A-typical dating habits of Asian men. An by A typical I mean out and out freaking strange sometimes; completely alien. I had a friend who dated an Asian man for a year and had to deal all sorts of issues that typically American women usually don’t encounter. At first I though it comic, then absurd, and now after being Punked on each of the 78 days I’ve been in Korea over some crazy Korean way of doing things; I’m a believer. Why did I ever doubt? In my hazy American denial of all things un-American, I failed to realize that a guys M.O. might vary culture to culture. I know it’s a simple concept with a fallacy. But I thought to myself... “all things with penis’s think alike”. How wrong was I!?!?

So I have read article after article on the subject and even braved a few personal questions to my Korean guy and girl friends, and acquaintances. Even though I know all of this information is just generalizations and ARE NOT TRUE FOR ALL KOREAN MEN. I needed someone somewhere to clue me in a bit.

When it comes to Korean Men:"Bottom-line- expect to take the lead at every point in the relationship, but don't ever be so bold as to ask, request or demand."

“Also do not show him you care at all. Do not tell him you like love, any emotion nothing. Because.. they start to trip when u do. They are supposed to be the one that do all that.”

“They are big on how people look instead of what kind of person you are. They are really full of it. So treat his ass the way he treats you. “

“Korean men the other hand are conservative and insecure. They don’t usually want a liberated woman as westerners would perceive it. What they want is a woman willing to work as a full-time mother (full-time by Korean standards would be triple-time by western standards).”

“Korean men work ungodly hours, stay up late with their coworkers drinking (it’s sometimes mandatory to drink with your boss) and so come home drunk and exhausted. They work Saturdays and sometimes Sundays. Korean between the ages of 30 and 50 are not usually much fun. They wait until retirement for that.”

No wonder old guys like me!

"There will be no men in your life for one year – get used to it."
[So what options does that leave foreign women? If one night stands aren’t exactly your cup of tea; there’s always an option – Korean men. That is, of course, if you can find a Korean man who a) speaks English, b) isn’t afraid of you, or c) isn’t dating you because he thinks you look like a celebrity. This task is not as easy as it sounds. ...


If you happen to find an eligible Korean man, you then have to put up with the negative reactions from not only the Korean community, but from the foreign community as well. If the relationship remains casual then the whole thing can be pretty cool. Of course, god help him if the family ever found out. But Korean men can also be deceiving. Many foreign women delude themselves into thinking that Korean men are all innocence and naiveté. But that would be a big mistake – Korean men play their own dating games, we just don’t understand the rules...


But if you can have a few laughs and a good time, nobody gets hurt. Unfortunately, the relationships often go much further than that and it is the foreign woman that ends up with the broken heart. Dating a Korean man is a great way to understand the culture, and to understand that you will never be a part of it. While it is also difficult for foreign men dating Korean women to be accepted into Korean society – it is next to impossible for foreign women to achieve acceptance. Regardless of whom you date. If you thought dating was difficult back home, you’ll soon discover its hell in Korea. ]

ANARCHY/ PUNK'D

WATCH OUT FOR THE SEEMINGLY NICE KOREANS IN THESE MUGSHOTS!!! THEY ARE ARMED WITH SOJU AND EXTREMLY DANGEROUS!!!!!!!!!!

I GO TO THE BAR TO SEE MY FRIEND SINGING ( SHE'S A LOUNGE SINGER). AND I AM ASSAILED BY THE OWNER OF THE BAR. HE TAKES MY PHONE .. STEALS MY NUMBER AND GIVES ME HIS BUSINESS CARD. THIS IS ALL BEFORE HE TRIES TO MAKE OUT WITH ME AGAINST MY WILL. .. AND AFTER HE AND HIS 4 GIRLY FRIENDS TRIES TO FEED ME RANDOM FISHY SNACKS. BY THE END OF AN HOUR HE HAS STOLEN MY HAT AND FELT ME UP AND DOWN.

THE ICING ON THE CAKE : HE ASKS FOR A "ONE NIGHT STAND DUH" ! AT THIS POINT I COMPLETE FLIP OUT AND DEMAND HIS HEAD ON A PLATTER AT MY SNEAKERS. ... I'M WITH A KOREAN FRIEND WHO EXPLAINS HE WAS JOKING... i'm now sure that my friend is lying and he will recieve a black eye as a lovely parting gift as soon as i catch his ass.

SO we... leave and we are followed by the touchy feely owner and his many mini minions about 3 chicks and 2 dudes. They throw me into the backseat of their car BY FORCE.. and drive away... at this point i turned into mcgyver and jumped out of a moving suv at the stop light and ran back to my friends.

I'm still not safe.. becuz they've called the bar and told them to escort myself and company to destinaton X.. so i'm being dragged drunkenly down a wet street on a rainy midnight in korea by Ajuma to .. taxi?... no... store?....no... HOTEL?... WHAT THE F*&%#!!??... no no.. NORAeBANG.

SO inside the noraebang we are forced to sing and drink and drink and drink .. upon trying to leave i was pretty my choked out onto the dancing space by the owner .. who still kept my HAT! We call for back up.. because now we can't leave and they've hidden our purses and umbrellas.
In the unisex bathroom we hide trying to think up a plan of escape.. only it's hard b/c theres a prostitute giving head to a guy using the urinal.. OMG.. So we enter separate stalls and talk to each other through the doors. The guy getting a BJ asks" excuse me.. noise down-uh" I reply with a smile " EXCUSE ME NO SEX -UH, BATHROOM SEX -UH VERY VERY BAD DUH! NO SEX-UH.." he leaves rather quickly after that.

Back up arrives in the form of the beautiful couple #2 and canada boy. His flaxen skin and golden tresses distract them long enough for us to get our stuff and bounce. WE ALSO FOUND OUT THAT WE WERE IN THE COMPANY OF A PART TIME PIMP (the bar owner) AND SOME OF HIS PROSTITUTES. HOW'S THAT FOR A NIGHT OUT ON THE TOWN. IN THE END WE GOT AWAY...a little worse for wear , our virtures a little shaken, but our heads held high.

This is a very true story and maybe you expats or future expats out there might understand me when i say:

"SOME DAYS I WAKE UP IN KOREA FEELING LIKE I AM GETTING PUNK'D!!!!!"

Snozberries.. taste like SNOZBERRIES!!!
