Up on The Soap Box With Troy (Stupid foreigners in Korea)

ok not that i haven’t had my share of good times here in Korea, but lets face it the greater majority of people here are here for one reason to experience a different culture, and expand their world view, yeah right they are here cause they couldn’t make it in the real world and they found a good excuse to prolong their child hood!!!!!!!!!! When your in a country the only thing that has changed is your physical location. so when you fucking idiots get here and find that your are maybe larger than most of the population that doesn’t make you a bad ass , your still the same guy that got your milk money stolen at school and just cause you speak English better than the average Korean doesn’t make you smarter than them. So when you walk around here thinking your special guesses what? YOUR NOT! Stop, take a look at you self you are representing your country your coworkers, and for that matter your race. and I am not talking about the fucking idiot co workers who sit out in front of there houses at 5 am and wake up all their neighbors or go on the roof and throwing stuff off (children’s toys, pieces of chairs or flick hundreds of cigarette butts all over and don’t clean up afterwards) I mean all of you .We go to Soule and there you are grabbing girls asses that you haven’t taking the time to learn to say hello to starting fights with guys who are half your size. have some composure! Unfortunately most white people are assumed to be Americans ,if you live here you know that’s not true but that’s not the point we (Waygooks)represent a culture, and it doesn’t include drunk asses who have no respect for other people ,at least I think so ! So, take your bad behavior back to what ever trailer park you hail fr0m and have some respect!

up on the soap box with Troy part dux

I wood like to take the time here to deviate from my usual deviations and talk about two concerns that have been on my mind lately. one i would like to address concerns about the north Korea nuke test and while this doesn’t have any thing to do with getting drunk or behaving badly on my part it is just to juicy , i find it more than just a little disconcerting that every Korean i talk to about this subject seems less than concerned "you have nothing to worry about." while this kind of things have been happing here for fifty years (north Korea acts up and the rest of the world just treats them like a pubescent teenage tantrum) this is a different world we live in ,we have already attacked one country for having "weapons of mass destruction" and while weather you think it is wrong or right it is real, we live in a time of heighten fear ,will they attack (U.S. or the terrorist ,now north Korea) will the sanctions be enforced what will happened next. This region is in the middle of a tug of war from the remaining supper powers and with china, Japan, and the us trying to call shots over here nothing good will come of it. maybe nothing will come of it ,maybe we will have an even bigger war , and maybe i will get stranded here in this country with the won completely devalued and work for free ,then again maybe the Koreans are right and it will just be fine.

after pissin off Koreans in Suwon I felt that it was time to slow down get out and see the sea so Julie ,ken ,lee ,Belinda, and my self took the bus to ilwangi(pronounced ul-wan-ghee) time in ready for some slow time at the beach ,little did I know that the slow time was going to be on the bus I made it there in just under five hours , you really don’t appreciate how the lives of the ilerated, illerated, pople who cant read ,I mean them’s who not so smart as me, really suck in the states ,but in Korea I am a drooling idiot when I get home I think I will volunteer some time in a reading program for adults or sum thin. well by the time I got there it was pitch black I was immediately served 3 shots and 3 beers and we all sat around bitching about the information desk and there crapy directions I guess it is time for me to buy a Korean dictionary! anyway we feasted on shell fish and drank more and for the first time I have been cut off ,I think well really I’m not sure but it doesn’t matter we made it to the beach for more drinks and fire works we met some new friends that we will never see again but I will post them on the blog anyways ,so after many drinks we did what any self respecting Waygook dose in Korea ,noirbang, what you dont know about the noir bang it karaoke only private you rent out small rooms(bangs Pronounced bong) and sing your heart out rock on ken or lee what ever your name is!!!!

Chuseok day 1

Chuseok, also sometimes spelt 'Chusok', is a major traditional holiday in Korea, celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month of the year. It is a thanksgiving feast and is also called Harvest Day, Harvest Moon Festival. Imagine mother’s day father’s day thanks giving and Halloween mixed together, let me explained
First it is a harvest festival for which we must eat special foods (thanks giving) next we must go through the traditional honoring of the ancestors by giving them their favorite food doc (pronounced duck) it a Korean rice cake made with gluttonous rice and pounded till gooey and formed onto half moon shapes and filed with sweet bean paste. Next we roll over to the grandparents and go and do some ritualized bowing for which we get paid cash and we through some sticks which the students had a hard time explaining to me? All and all a kick ass time where we get a week off from school and work and every thing is closed.
So with a week off I took some time to see one of Koreas national treasures Suwon fortress with two of my favorite middle school teachers Elaina and Melissa we spent a day trying to get mobbed by a large groups of angry Koreans as we made fun of the time less traditions and offered vodka to their dragon springs and imitated ancient scholars.
