I stumbled into this blog while searching for something. And no it has nothing to do with black people.

Pretty damn epic.

It's pretty pathetic imho. Especially the foreigners who really should have more sense when they're in a country where they don't speak the language (there are exceptions to this of course) and their behavior reflects badly upon those us who don't drink to excess.

i get the sense that these group of expats dont really respect koreans very much at all and have a generally condescending attitude
i wished they would get the fuck out of country if they are only in for the money and easy girls (some korean girls go crazy over white guys)
http://blackoutkorea.blogspot.com/2009/11/marmite-blackout.html
this one (including comments) sort of confirms my beliefs

to clarify, it's not the fact that they take these pictures; they are pretty funny indeed
the ways that they caption it and also not bother to mosaic the faces is what i refer to

well they are going to be empty-headed females everywhere...
but yes, there is a problem with that and i do dislike those types of girls (who often tend to be super promiscuous)
at the same time, i do acknowledge that legit korean female-white male couples exist, but they are very very few

but there is also a problem with the white chaps who aren't quite able to make back in their country, come to korea, reap the benefits of easy money (english teaching) and easy girls
while doing a terrible, half-assed job of teaching
and back at their computers, complain and spew hatred about korea (you should really look at some of these blogs; some of the claims they make are absurd)
all the while, their egos inflated, acting as if they are some kind of white kings

of course, korea has full bag of her problems and uncomfortable truths
the issue is, these people completely exaggerate and only divulge these aspects
but more importantly, they do so with an absolutely lack of respect for the korean people and much condescension
of course, the fact that they are being disgusting opportunists in korea don't help either

I don't live in Korea, but rather Japan, and I have to say the xenophobia does eventually grind on you and a ranting blog about it... well, I don't agree with it, but I can understand where they are coming from. Thankfully I don't work in the thankless language instruction industry so I'm not as stressed out as most expats.

That PC bit said, this blog is amazing. In Japan there's no shortage of salarymen near dead from drinking too much loitering the train stations at night. Come early the next day and they still haven't shoveled up all the puke. It just stuns me that people can get so stupid about consumption. Honestly, if sites like these blossomed, people might think twice about getting so piss drunk.

i don't see how xenophobia can be anything more than an significant annoyance
in any case, it beats out flat-out racism, which you will find is directed against koreans (and asians) in parts of europe and america
if they actually made an effort to learn the language and actually become more adapted to the culture (isn't that what foreigners are supposed to do in any country?), i am sure they will be better received
and in honesty, koreans always try to be courteous and friendly to foreigners anyway
except for a few older types

Well, I can only tell you to not say things like that until you've lived in the other side's shoes. I'm a decently mannered contributing member of this society who doesn't little the local subway with puke. However, my existance here is filled with constant checks, re-checks, and general harassment designed by the government to make me want to leave. Somedays it works. Most it doesn't.

This said, xenophobia can quickly change to racism and typically is intermixed. While being in more remote suburban areas I have has actual rocks fly past my head... the culprit nowhere in site. I hear the derogatory term of forgeiner so much I have grown to dislike the polite term.

I speak the language fluently; sometimes better than nationals, I pay taxes, bills, etc., yet I am significantly treated like a second class member of society. Again, I can only comment for Japan... but I imagine Korea is similar. But, I must say, I knew all of this going into it so I'm not really trying to say woes-is-me. Yeah, there's shit in my soup, but I guess I like the taste.

well, i can certainly understand your point of view
and certainly you sound much more balanced and fair (and actually make an effort to be a good citizen while also learning language) than many of these expats
however, i can't really envision that koreans would throw rocks at foreigners
the strange and possibly annoying ways they treat foreigners solely root from curiosity and/or ignorance, and very very rarely hatred

also, i sympathize with your annoyance with the gov't, but that may -- i have a feeling -- have to do more with just the stupidity and efficiency of the bureaucracy rather than actual racism

also, there are always going to be some inconveniences/injustices if you leave your home country; this applies even to me, who moved from korea to US 10 years ago
this is inevitable and something that immigrants should expect to persevere

So it's ok for Koreans to drink excessively in their country but it is not ok for anyone else to do it?

Did I say that? No, I didn't. It's equally stupid and dangerous for people to do this regardless of their nationality. Even in somewhere as safe as Korea anything could happen to you while you're passed out in public - from mugging to assault.

I wish it was as simple as government stupidity, but actually... since they don't want the resident military force to transition to residents they create a ton of barriers for Americans to get visas; however, if I was British, Canadian, or any other white country, it would be a cake walk.

Japanese tend to be exceptionally mild-mannered, so the notion of them throwing rocks is inconceivable; however, if there's anything you learn quickly about humans, they will always exceed your imagination and rarely in ways you had wished for.

SOJU WHEEE
haha no actually, although i am korean, i fucking hate soju. most worthless disgusting alcohol (okay, not the WORST, but bordering it) i've tried. tastes like rubbing alcohol; not that i've tried rubbing alcohol, but i feel like that's how it would taste when i drink soju.

The drunk i get off soju is kinda different, i always end up with headaches. but meh, it's cheap, it gets the job done.

I remember this day i watched a korean movie w/ some friends, watched some actor CHUG bottle after bottle of soju, so i was like okay psh. went to a bar, and gulped down a soju straight from the bottle and ended up with the fukin nastiest headache ever.

i prefer GOOD, RICH liquor. fuck that nasty cheap shit

No thank you. I have more common sense than to do things as stupid as getting this drunk. I also have more fulfilling ways to spend my time and money. People can do what they like in Korea in relation to drinking and partying. That doesn't mean I have to do the same.

Oh my God you are approaching critical pressure, get that space suit on.

Come on, no one squeezes 100% value out of every second of their lives. In fact, most people have hours to kill each day. For me personally, some of my best memories with friends involve heavy drinking.

why dont people accept that different people have different ways of living their lives
nevergg's initial complaint about expats in korea, while possibly nosy, is still pretty legit because an disproportionate number of expats in korea tend to be drunkards/bad characters
there is no need to slam down on her way of living unless you can prove that your way of living (drinking and partying) is inarguably superior (not for you, but for her or other people)
but i believe you will find that quite difficult

Okay Mr. white knight. You will notice she calls it pathetic so I don't think she's free of your final line.

perhaps what she meant was that the many of expats, in general, were pathetic, which is a sentiment i tend to share
but of course, these pics by themselves don't merit her calling them that
pretty stupid? probably, but not necessarily pathetic

I think it has more to do with laws regarding public drunkenness.

i think it's awesome that you can pass out in public and not have anything really bad happen to you.

in america, you pass out in public, you will probably wake up without your wallet and with blood coming out of your butthole.

according to this post, you pass out in korea, people laugh at you on a blog but other than that you're fine. and based on a reply, you can do the same in japan. that's a testament to how safe those countries are!

in america, you pass out in public, you will probably wake up without your wallet and with blood coming out of your butthole.

according to this post, you pass out in korea, people laugh at you on a blog but other than that you're fine. and based on a reply, you can do the same in japan. that's a testament to how safe those countries are!



Couldn't agree more on this.

And that's why Korea is so close to our heart (anyone whot's been there).

This said, xenophobia can quickly change to racism and typically is intermixed. While being in more remote suburban areas I have has actual rocks fly past my head... the culprit nowhere in site. I hear the derogatory term of forgeiner so much I have grown to dislike the polite term.

Yeah, there's shit in my soup, but I guess I like the taste.


Wow, despite all that your experience is still so bad? Makes me wonder how much trouble that one black guy had. He had a site and all where he got kanchoed, I guess he laughed it off because it was the least of his worries.

I've never passed out on a street, but I do enjoy my beverages. No reason to think those people didn't have the time of their lives to end up like that.
if I come without a thing, then I come with all I need @tonightsend

Hey everyone. Was just perusin' through the google and came across this thread discussing the site near the top. Just wanted to throw a quick thanks out to those of you who enjoyed it. A lot of people don't (thus the need for anonymity), especially Koreans and gyopos. Obviously. Anyways, sorry to bump such an old thread but just wanted to say thanks for reading, good to hear people are enjoying it, helps me with the motivation to keep the site going. I also put a "hello teamliquid!" on the main page for y'all (to curtail troll suspection). Cheers!

Apparently, it's a common site in korea. It's just one of those scene which other koreans passing by just take a glimpse at them and just walk away.

If people not from Canada came over here for a visit saw some passed out people and did this stuff to them I would have no problem with it. Not sure why all the Koreans are getting so mad.

why dont people accept that different people have different ways of living their lives
nevergg's initial complaint about expats in korea, while possibly nosy, is still pretty legit because an disproportionate number of expats in korea tend to be drunkards/bad characters
there is no need to slam down on her way of living unless you can prove that your way of living (drinking and partying) is inarguably superior (not for you, but for her or other people)
but i believe you will find that quite difficult

I know I'm digging out an old thread, but anyways. Sad to see blackoutkorea.com has gone and I can't even find a cached version. ;-) Why is everyone so serious these days? -.- And why are the best (funny) sites always hosted at blogspot.com or blogger.com? ;-)

Concerning phos, I don't even quote (for truth) any of those older postings, but that really is funny, as it shows your own double-standards!! First you bash those party-people etc. and now you argue they shouldn't claim their way of life is superior? So what did you do earlier other than claiming to be a better person? LOL

I don't know your frustration, I guess it might be not getting Korean girls in the US or even back in Korea, but there is really no legit reason (except being Christian-Conservative) to judge other people (especially women) for choosing that lifestyle! If they chose to live like that, so what?! Consenting adults, having fun, why is that wrong? Why do people go party? Don't you think they could just go to any club, if they wanted Korean guys? If they go to Itaewon & hook up with some "eevil" foreigner, it is clearly THEIR choice and not the bad guy, who is hanging out there already anyways! He could just choose another fa..."pretty" American girl of course, but erm, maybe he has a reason not to? :D

And for the money, seriously, this is not much pay they get & not a great perspective! Complain to your government, not the teachers (I know there are quite some morons, but sure not everyone!), as the Korean government has set the standards on pay etc.! On the other, being in a capitalistic country, shouldn't you agree that supply and demand (the market) sorts out the pricing issue, so why whine about it?? If you aren't happy with your wage, maybe you should've thought about that earlier!

So yeah, as always, you living in the great USA should be ashamed to be narrow-minded. If you're into conservatism, better go to...um, actually there is no conservative country? US maybe, so you're already there indeed. But there's party & multicultural "fun" everywhere, if you don't like it
I don't like to get patronized concerning my life choices by people who prefer to keep some kind of racial segregation just because they're frustrated with their own life!!!

So why again do(n't) you accept that different people have different ways of living their lives?
