Put your wallet in your front pants pocket instead of your back pocket or coat pocket then.

I've been doing that for years just to avoid back problems from the tilt.  :Embarrass:

Yeah I always keep it in the front.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

A white dude walking around Asia with his wallet in his back pocket seriously must either be profoundly retarded, or wanting to get pick pocketed.

THat's where he had his.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

How drunk was this guy? How baggy were his pants?

I know I would notice because I notice the wallet when it is just sitting there. It's not very comfortable.

He didn't seem that drunk at the time, but he'd had quite a few margiritas.

QuoteIn class they're about the same or worse talking wise as back home, but there's a lot more physical contact and rough housing between students. There's a ten minute break between each period, which is way to long, and predictably leads to them running amok in the hallway yelling. They get an hour off for lunch and it's like Lord of the Flies out there. Not my problem  though so I don't care.

Yeah, that's all very true. :lol:
There's also all the hugging, sitting on each other's laps, and so on.
They're also all very dorky.

I'm going to have to have my gaydar completely recalibrated when I come home. The guys skip down the hall arm in arm here like they're going down the yellow brick road.

Same here, but then I'm paranoid about destroying my cards by sitting on them.  :blush:

I've even seen them laying on each other on the couch in the classroom.

QuoteIf you like getting pick pocketed I guess.

Never happened to me. Though you do have to be more careful in Itaewon than in other areas like Hongdae or Gangnam.

I've always carried my wallet in my back pocket without problem, dork.

Thats very strange.
To keep your wallet in your front pocket to me just screams 'well duh', its the most basic anti-theft advice you learn when you're a kid.
And its uncomfortable in your back pocket.

Yesterday Mr. Han invited me to play the sport of kings with the rest of the faculty. That's right, badminton.  :lol: They were so hard core about it too, flyign around the court like they were playing doubles at Wimbledon.  :D
