Race and Korea

I liked the choreography.

Actually, I think that you've just bought too much into the teacher unions' propoganda about how poorly teachers are paid.

That, and a teacher's salary looks very different if you're living in NY and SF than if you're living in flyover country.

It's more or less a national pay scale here in the UK. So a teacher might make £35k in London (rather poor) and maybe £30k in a place like county Durham (rather good). In a depressed town like my hometown they would be close to the top of the tree.

I know many teachers in my school district had a hard time making ends meet.  The band teacher had a second job as a fast food joint.  Probably a clever ruse by the Teacher's Union.

I don't get it.
Why do they have some African dude slowly asking about nam san tower?
And is it just me or does the song start with the guy saying 'Jesus milk'?

Exoticness mostly works against you here. I didn't pick the 1950s for nothing when describing the social scene. On the surface at least Korean women are very conservative and most wouldn't touch a foreigner like that. Another problem is most women still live with their parents and have a curfew until they're married.

No, exoticness mostly works against YOU there.
I have heard Korea is a good place to get girls for western folk...however folk who couldn't get anything at home aren't going to magically turn into chick magnets in Asia. Still have to try a bit.

I know a couple of dozen guys well here. Only one has had a serious korean girlfriend and he was manwhore back home with dozens of notches in his belt. And it still took him six whole months to figure them out and get a date with a Korean. Almost all of the guys I know here have simply given up and just date the foreign girls.  Some of them had great success in Japan but nothing here.

You didn't know me well?
I dated some Korean girls while I was there. But then, I'm devilishly handsome. 

Weren't you dating a Mongolian girl?

Its only racist if you are making fun of arabs.

Seedy, Ide, you're welcome. That's all I have to say about South Korea. 

I've always preferred Girls Generation

I dated a Mongolian girl and I dated a couple of Korean girls. One for about 2 and a half months.

You lived in a city with 3 million people, I live in a country town with 20k, not exactly as favorable an environment.
