In this country you'll stick out like a sore thumb so I hope you ooze confidence and don't give a crap if you know everyone is looking at you thinking "OH LOOK MOMMY! A MONKEY!!SO INTERESTING!!!!"

I understand what you mean but it's not different to Europe or America I think. My mother comes from Southkorea and I often recognise kids looking at her or other asians, blacks etc. in the way you mentioned before.

p.s.: good and interesting report

It's different. Here being a Westerner makes you a superstar whereas being an immigrant in Euro/America puts you in the lower tiers of social hierarchy.

anyone can get into 'upper class club' as long as u have the money to pay for it lol and the better clubs aren't technically higher 'class' than others they are just more expensive and have better looking girls

and there are barely any korean guys who will just go up to foreigners in a threatening manner, i have never experienced it nor have i seen it or know anyone who that has happened to

Oh~~ Rekrul;;

I dunno if I'm allowed to ask this but what about the gaming part of when you were in Korea?

Did you meet anyone like JeeYunee, Gundam etc.. Giyom??? o,o

I never actually heard about any of your games in Korea, I'm curious though..

Are you decent at writing Korean? Do you know when to use ㅐ and when to use ㅔ? Have you ever experienced those anal-probing bathroom/toilets?

Rek thanks for writing next very good article.I enjoyed all of them very much, you have very good writing style.
When I was reading I thought that you are planning to comeback to USA and stay there,but you ve written that you fly their only for one month.Do you actually want to stay in korea for long time and maybe graduate there?Also do you think about getting usual job later in the future or you plan to focus on poker?
Kind regards.

I certainly will not focus on poker, to me it is just money and not a fulfilling profession. I don't know if I'd want to go to university here...i'd have to get much better at speaking korean first.

You're pretty lucky to get to experience something like that, Rekrul. It's always interesting to read about it. It's almost like a dream come true, isn't it? I wish you'd take some more pictures and/or video like you did when you first got there. That was cool too :D Things like this will be cool to look back on later in your life, definantly.

Anyway, I'm wondering how you get around town. Do you plan on buying a car, or do you just take a taxi, or what's the transportation deal?
