:::::Warning:::::

If an old Korean woman asks you something in Korean, but you can't really understand them, do not under any circumstances just answer "ne". I found this out the hard way.

So a Korean women came up to me and asked me something in Korean which I couldn't understand. (I later found out she was asking if she could go ahead of me in line). I replied "ne" and proceeded just to stand there, in which in the following moments received the biggest verbal onslaught of my life. She threw around phrases like "jook uh leh" (and not the cute "my sassy girl" way, the pissed off im gonna cut your head off way) and "pyeong shin" and just mean stuff

Korean women are the scariest there are..

Ahh I thought they were closer to each other..

And it's actually been about 12 years, she's 24, and we're taking her 16 year old brother who is basically meeting her for the first time, he actually just started talking to her this year..

She went to Korea to visit for a week, never came back.. it's a really long story though..

I have developed a healthy fear of the ah-ju-mas.

whats one question a random stranger would ask u and snap if u answered yes?

lol she didnt snap cuz i answered yes. she snapped cuz i disrespected her. big difference

what's the story if you don't mind? I'm pretty interested

pm'd

I'm in Chengdu, China right now and I thought this was kind of funny:

I can play on all poker networks fine with no help of a vpn. I cannot however visit facebook or youtube. I must log onto my vpn for those lol

lol wtf.

Yea, when I was in China, Youtube, Google/Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Blogspot, etc. were all banned. There are ways to get around this but it sucks and this was one of the reasons I left China.

Questions:
-Where can one find good "LA style" galbi in Seoul? I prefer this over the "regular" galbi, not sure how else to describe it.
-What is the equivalent of facebook?
-How often do you use Naver?
-How would you rate your Korean skills now, from 1-10?

---LA Style galbi whattttt? galbi from Korea >any other kind

---Equivalent of Facebook = Cyworld

---Naver is awesome

---I'm decent at Korean(relatively obv) but i'd prob get owned by a little korean kid lol

LA Style galbi is



dunno what LA stands for but I just assume L = LONG. SO maybe..LONG ASS Galbi :P

I don't use Naver but stuff like Naver and QQ seem to be superior than the american messaging formats we use: skype, aim, msn

Like above poster, I'd get owned by a little kid : / So i give myself a 3. I've actually d/l'd pimsleur onto my ipod, if only I started studying...

You generally find LA style galbi @ tofu houses because well...the other stuff is better :P

Really good galbi in seoul is ****in expensive

I had this my last night in Korea and omg it's ****ing amazing. Best meat I've ever had (i've never had kobe). It literally like melts in your mouth:

we call it 살치살. Don't ask me about the meaning : /

random, but kim yu na is the stone cold nuts in figure skating

ohh haha...
