i heard rosetta stone is good from other people, although ive never actually used it.

id learn hangul first, its easy and itll help with everything else

Honestly I wouldn't spend that much on Rosetta Stone, it's way too expensive for what it brings. You'll only get the very basics and I'm pretty sure you won't be making any complete sentences at the end. If you want to learn the language, you have to get your hands dirty. Getting yourself a book (http://www.amazon.com/Elementary-Kor...6324228&sr=1-1). It's cheaper and you'll learn way more but obviously you have to put more effort in learning than with RS/Pimsleur. Watching movies/shows in Korean woud help too.

didn't discover this thread until my 6th day in Seoul. I'm here visiting my friend. Will stay here till Wed I think. I been stuck at my friend's apartment when he's at work. I can't go anywhere cuz he lives in a residential area and I don't speak the language at all (only thank you and soondubu, kimchi jigae, galbi tang). Def up for meeting up w/ 2p2ers who are in Seoul now. I really want to try booking club. show me around please?

where are you at in seoul?

I have no clue but there's an emart 10 mins walk from here.

just called my friend. he said it's Jamsil?

all in and full house are the only K-drama I've ever watched. Very long but not too bad.

oh sick im in jamsil except unfortunatly im stuck in the US right now.

what apartment in jamsil?

edit: also, the subway stuff has english too so if you wanted to go somewhere im pretty sure you could navigate your way around.

lawl im in jamsil too

If you're really bored take the Subway to Itaewon Station on the Brown line. Tons of bars, western restaurants and foreigners.

sick haha

I just don't wanna go there by myself...that'd be pretty boring too. Anyone wanna do something on monday and tuesday before I leave on Wed?

epik high is illuminati

check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OkiGO7u-6w at 2:49. That's the eye of the illuminati, and the video is obviously about their depopulation agenda through vaccinations/ destruction of the American middle class( burning of the dollar) which is one of their grand master plans for the New World Order. Never knew that they would infiltrate south korean pop-culture.

watch this to learn more about illuminati symbolism

lol but yeah, i like epik high.

i'm kyoto and tokyo this week, if anyone is out here and wants to meet up, let me know

hows japan?

feet. are. in. pain.

kyoto is temple/palace/shrine city.

Really beautiful though. I thought Shanghai was nice. damn

Kyoto but no Osaka or Kobe? They're like 30 minutes away on the JR train. I had the same experience in Kyoto, sore goddamn feet. Walking up mountains to temples then across the city.

Agree that its really gorgeous. I was there in January though, must be really nice now with the autumn foliage.

no time man. I spent 2 days sightseeing kyoto and it was nowhere near enough time. I'm really into photography so I take my time

please report to the EDF photography thread once you've processed your shots plz

glo is into photography too. someone stole her dslr last year and tilted the hell outta me.

and jury duty is gay

Good thread. I been living in Nowon hub of Seoul for about 3 months now teaching at a hagwon and grinding mtts and sng's about 3-4 weeknights every week after work from like 12am-4am (7am if I can ft). But can't play on weekends too much to do. This thread has hella good info on seoul tho. the hiking out here is super sick. had a booking club experience a couple weeks ago with some Korean friends; it was a mixed bag cause it was so hard to talk to the chicks since my Korean is non existent but I still had a good time. One girl was really into me but she was not hot at all and I found it kind of difficult to let her know i wasn't tryin to get down (why can't this have happened with the fine chicks). I'd go a lot more often if my Korean was decent at all but not really worth it since I can't talk. I'ma ask my friend what the name of the club was cause I can't recall right now. Any 2p2ers in Seoul we should meet up and have a drink for sure.

sidenote: I was about to get a vpn or whatever it's called cause I can't only play on stars, but about 2 weeks ago I was able to get on ftp and I have been able to ever since. I will be doing the vpn thing if access gets restricted again, but its been ok for 2 weeks. I cant click on last hand though, it shows the korean message that this site is blocked lol/ but playing on the site is generally smooth with no issues besides the major fact that i can't replay hands via replayer.

Hello, just saw the thread and want to make some poker friends in Seoul. I live in kang-nam, non hyundong and I've been playing MSNL for about a year and half.
I speak 한국말 fluently.
If anyone wants to have some fun or exchange poker infos, pm me~
