The thing I've noticed living here is that friendships/relationships with other foreigners develop very quickly. But too often they end just as quickly because someone suddenly goes back home. The trick is to enjoy the time that you have and not think ahead too much. That’s the right attitude.

I am sure that lots of people have had similar problems to this one. As Ned Flanders would say, "That's a real dilly of a pickle." Have fun and good luck with the plan! You just never know when something (or someone) will come along and throw a wrench into it! Great post. I am sure that lots of people have had similar problems to this one.

I just think that we can live simplier happier lives but our obsession for material things gets us into trouble. ah i have my own credit debt but in a few months I will be debt free.

Koreans are notoriously credit rich. The average korean household is 26million won in debt (excluding mortgages) so take comfort in the fact that all the nice cars you see o nthe road are not owned, not at all. What a bunch of phony people, no different than the west. At least you aren't a payment plan man...... Yeah but everything you want/need involves money. Koreans are notoriously credit rich.

Those guys are the real haters club and yes the 'your' was the icing on the cake. After that brainfart I can assure you that he most likely does teach English;unfortunately. Giving Jimbob the benefit of the doubt, he's more likely jimmygit than jimmybrit if he is from the failed empire. No, he sounds more like an angry kyopo.

I have started to ask them. About two years ago one young man on the subway was wearing an Alabama sweatshirt and I asked if he knew that place and he said that yes he did, because he attended the University of Alabama for a year. It also turns out that he knew a teacher there whom was a year of ahead of me at the first college I attended.

'get a life and i bet your a canadian!!!' you are or you're 'your a' is just incorrect English - even if you are American. Sorry dude - I know you claim to be an English teacher but I have to doubt your claim - I think you might just be a nasty, drunken foreigner who hates Koreans and foreigners alike. - yeah, you just claimed the mantle of DICKHEAD.

A lot of nice foreigners but also some fucking twats. Where I come from - we literally run up to the foreigner and and expect them to become our friends. I'm not even joking. So many foreigners in Busan are so wrapped up in their own little world - but in the smaller cities of Korea you are lucky to see a foreigner. And in my small little city - we are lucky to have so many great foreigners. Going to Busan always makes me laugh. A lot of nice foreigners but also some fucking twats.

Linking yourself on pweb will attract a fair amount of haters. I actually agree with you when it comes to seeing other foreigners here. A simple courteous nod won't kill anyone.
