We both play protoss, so we were QQing together about how there's no Protosses left. We played once, played like 4 games. I won 3-1, but it's PvP. Koreans are damn good. Mostly everyone plays SCBW though. | ||

I don't drink because I'm emetophobic, and I don't see the point when I could be spending my time/money on other things. It's just a personal choice. | ||

Sorry, after we beat the crap out of them last year, it's 연고전. Do you know the chants and songs and stuff? I always feel that outsiders look at it as some sort of lame brainwashing mob psychology thing, but it's really fun =[ This is probably the last 연고전 I'm going to since I'm probably going on an exchange program next year ㅜ,ㅜ | ||

On September 21 2011 14:05 NeverGG wrote:+ Show Spoiler + I think people sometimes tend to overstate the whole 'Everyone dresses perfectly here/all the girls have gorgeous legs thing.' For every lady who I see that's dressed up there are loads more who are in normal denim shorts/t-shirts/hoodies. It definitely depends upon where you are, and what time of day it is. However, guys hoping to come over here and constantly be surrounded by SNSD/Kara-esque women are in for a reality check. I've been here for almost five years now, and in terms of how many 'idol level' pretty girls I see even in places like Apgujeong or Gangnam it's not exactly overwhelmingly common even at night. Speaking of the drinking culture - I don't involve myself in that. I have no interest in it at all. I'm only annoyed by it if it interrupts with my sleep/getting home after shopping or being outside for other things. I do find it a bit pathetic when you see people sleeping in public during the mornings though. (I admit to laughing when I saw some random thirty-something guy sleeping in a full suit draped over a wall though. It was such a weird position to pass out in.) I'm not into fashion much myself, but I do miss seeing really individual styles. I've found that only Hongdae (during the daytime and at events like the weekly markets) offers the chance to see punks or other alternative dressers/music styles etc. It's lovely to be able to pick up the unique work of the student artists/craftspeople too. I agree with you about the convinience aspect. As a Brit it's so nice to live somewhere where it's possible to go out at 3am and get food/go singing etc. I don't really take advantage of that aspect of it, but it's still nice to know it's possible. The subway system and all the little time-saving measures employed here (like being able to use T-money in shops etc.) really make a lot of sense/are so useful. I also love how cheap life can be (aside from my expensive hobbies.) Nah. I think you're just on the wrong side of town nevergg  | ||

It's really not too uncommon for a person to have some form of plastic surgery done even if they aren't pop stars or famous. Also, Koreans are typically more blunt when it comes to appearance. I wouldn't say people are bullied or shunned, but if you're getting fat or if you look weird they'll let you know, but this shouldn't be seen as offensive as it is in western culture. Also, anyone remember when Puma said he wanted plastic surgery after he won NASL and was asked what he wanted to do with his prize money? A lot of Western people would see that as a really embarrassing thing to say from Puma's position, but I guess he felt differently. The importance of aesthetics in Korea is actually a pretty discussed topic, and a lot of people criticize it for being shallow and teaching people the wrong values. Korea has pretty high suicide rates, and some (although I wouldn't even say a good portion of it) is due to this. If I had to guess I'd say the suicide rates have more to do with expectations through education, etc. and becoming successful and there's a lot of pressure on everyone including even the successful people as Korea has one of the highest suicide rates involving famous people. Anyways, the good comes with the bad is what I'm getting at. I don't think it's something that should be pitied though because like I said, people view this type of stuff differently in Korea. Talking about PuMa, did you see his bright pink hairdo at IEM?? Crazy shizz And yeah, I agree with most of your points. To the OP, it looks like your having a blast there, keep having fun :D:D and hopefully you make it in qualifiers! FYI you can get a taiwanese account, which also allows you to play on the korean account due to the region-linking patch blizzard did a couple months back. There are several guides on the interwebs that shows you how to get a taiwanese account. | ||

I like Asian girls, so I think I'm a little biased but, the ratio of cute girls to not is a lot higher than anywhere I've been... :O I've been to Japan and China, and Korea has the best looking girls in my opinion. No, not everyone looks like SNSD, but I think as a whole, the girls here are pretty attractive. It does help that everyone cares about there appearance. | ||

I used to think Korea has the highest ratio of cute girls too. I immedietely changed my mind ever since I took the first step into France Anyway, nice blog - living in another country is quite the experience. Korea sounds great, but a bit too materialistic in certain aspects for my taste. | ||
