Yeah, one of my best friends has taught English in South Korea for about six years now. He loved it...

...until he got married, now has a kid, and doesn't want his son growing up there. He's moving back to the States this summer.

My friends's actually pregnant right now. Black Zarak and I were recruited to help with naming suggestions. Most of mine were immediately rejected. Crying

I thought Reptar was a really awesome suggestion.

My ex and good friend are there teaching right now. They like it a lot and you can make bank doing it.

I tried to go but ran into some visa issues...

The school I went to in Japan was 98% students from South Korea. Trust me, they know how to party. They are like the Irish of Asia.

Yeah, from what I understand if you don't drink, you're seen as a weirdo. There's no such thing as rehab over there, or AA. Alcohol is just a part of life apparently.

Oh, and Starcraft.
