Re: Hey, how about Korea then?
[quote name="Quétinbec"][quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"] This sounds like a good deal. I'm getting this money, how, now? Teaching English? Actually, I don't even care. [/quote] Teaching. You should care because your students can fuck you up. Kids under 10 will rape you. At one of my schools, a private kids school, when the boys found out I wouldn't cane them if they misbehaved, they went crazy. They'd throw shit around, snap the girl's pencils, crush chips into each others hair, kick over their desks, etc... and be like, "[Whatcha gonna do about it, you stupid pig?]" (the Korean word for pig was their nickname for me) and I didn't do shit. On my five minute breaks between classes, I used to lock myself in the toilet and just sit there staring at the hinges. The management must have thought I had the worst diarrhoea, not that they ever asked. You stop giving a shit eventually and it all works out. The boys figured they could have more fun 'sneaking' into the computer room to play Starcraft than fucking with the girls. I had to pretend I couldn't see them slipping out the door. All the girls laughed at how stupid I was not noticing them slip out the door. It was like being in a Charlie Chapman movie. Teaching adults pays less but you'll make friends, have interesting conversations, and they'll take you drinking, whoring, etc... aafter class. [quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"] Also, not that I am paranoid or suspicious or speaking in sotto voce or anything, but just to confirm: we're talking South Korea, right? [/quote] Jesus, ICJ. If you wanted to dip your foot in the river that divides the Koreas, and you were clever enough not to be arrested by the South Korean MP on the way down, NK snipers would fire warning shots and you'd be in a SK jail fast as fuck and sent home. If you want, you can pay $30 to LOOK at North Korea from across the river on an observation deck. You can kinda see a fake 'prosperous' village NK made to show off but later couldn't afford to staff. It's lame. [quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"] I can only get excited by women these days, like, over the age of 30. If 45-year olds could have kids without my genes having to do overtime, I'd totally be into that. [/quote] There's plenty of older foreign woman around. You'd go down so well because the white guys are there for the Korean girls, so there are tens of thousands of unattached white female teachers floating around feeling inadequate and unloved. My plan is to fuck Koreans for the first 6 months and then find a nice Irish girl to travel with for the final 6. [quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"] You've been to Britain, right? What did you think of it? [/quote] Scotland's better. I wouldn't live in England. If it wasn't in Europe and didn't have money (like NZ), no one would give a shit about it (like NZ), so if money and Europe aren't very important to you, I'd say you're better off living in Australia. The weather's better and it's very American. [quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"] Would you ever live there? Nothing against Korea, but I assume it will be a glowing cinder sooner rather than later, so I may not want to put down roots. [/quote] It's an Asian country so it's fucked up and only freaks live their permanently. [/quote]
