That's quite the initiation to a new country in my opinion.
Grrrr explained to me "In Korean culture if Koreans show resistance and you don't back down they will always eventually give you the respect you deserve."
I've oddly found this true here in Western culture as well.
Great story, gave me a nice smirk :3

I think Day9 should see this since he said his mom always brings up this guy. :D

Ya true, it is basic human nature, though in Korea it s certainly exaggerated.

Great read. Interesting story and very well written. Damn Grrr is awesome.

Rekrul your brag blogs make me jelly.

Grrrr truly ain't no bitch. I always enjoy your blogs for sheer entertainment and your writing style just makes it seem like you're there. Also for new things about Korean culture since I'm slowly but surely learning the language <3 5/5

To teach you young'ins true lessons of life. Less talking, more listening.
|
Rekrul I love your stories, never stop posting them!
|
I was just watching a video of you and Grrr speaking Korean at a poker event last night which made the blog all the more interesting.

Because there are some people that, when they tell a story, you listen.

Rek, what year was this in?
And have you endeavored to learn KR since then?
^^
Also, write a book if you want to make a bit of cash from your fellow TL'ers, you'd have some sales man.

Great read. Rekrul such a boss.
|
Rekrul blogs alone makes life worthwhile. :3
