Daegu players are terrible limp city, but the game is not good enough for a trip there.
Barely a 1-2 game going

The 10 K tourneys are worth it though I'd say.

I'm looking for an internship in Korea. Does anyone know where to look at please ? (I unfortunately don't speak Korean)

quick TR after just returning from Vegas. if you head there during the WSOP time, the best 2/5 and 5/10 games (from my experience) were at the Rio and the Venetian. Rio is full of fish wanting the WSOP experience and sharks cleaning up on them. The venetian was the same really with a lot more action than i originall expected. Bellagio was ok, and Aria n Wynn were full with long waits so never got on there but imagine they were pretty juicy as well

You know, I love Korea's internet. It's nice and fast, except for one site: Youtube.

Streaming vids is painfully slow, to the extent that I have to pause the video for a minute, let the buffer catch up and then I can watch another 30 seconds of video before I have to pause again.

Anyone else have this?

Yes we all have this problem. I'm not going ino the details because I dont know anything, but Korea and YouTube had an ongoing feud but I dont know anything but you can look it up.

The Internet is about all Korea has going for it. It seems like a cool country when you're there but "............

But..... what...........

THey are the most racist, backwoods, wifebeating, *******s in the world. I've be in Korea for 5 years and it sucks. Don't ever come here. 70% are horrible.

Im glad you left, you seem to be a very nice guy too.

Do you think it's fine to run up to a black person and yell "Africa"? Or start clapping when after you heard about people dying in Japan?

Most people in the world would say this isn't good behavior but this is totally fine in Korea. Korean people send death threats to anyone who says anything about the culture. I'm sorry if your Korean and your angry about it's the truth.
Also, why do only foreign teachers get aids test to teach in Korea? Korean people don't get them why should ONLY foreigners get them. That would never fly if only Koreans got check for aids in USA. Just saying.

I know Korean people are generally super racist/scared toward black people. That said, they are very friendly and interested toward white people. I consider myself a middle+ good looking white guy and they were asking me to take pictures with me all the time like I was some kind of model (I even done free modeling when I was there.)
That's one of the reason I want to go back there.

While there very well be some strange/retarded behavior by some of them, I wouldn't classify them all as wife-beating racists. You could get the same treatment in the US coming from a different country and it'd be the same thing as if someone classified all US citizens and racists.

Korea's history with Japan is also something that many outsiders would have trouble understanding.

Good to Know !

The reason I would skip Korea is that open and nasty racism towards non-Koreans is part of life and never punished or brought to social light. You are always wrong, as a foreigner, and Koreans are prefect.
Truth is they hate having foreigners here. Even my co-teacher said she doesn't like foreigners and I have to work with her.
Granted every country has some nut jobs who believe that being born here is better than there but in Korea it's almost like it's taught to everyone. National Pride is one thing. It's even so bad that where I live they don't trust people from the mainland. It's almost comical tbh.
Even the news media plays overly racist anti-Foreigner programs such as this: http://www.expathell.com/?p=4338

I will give you that Korea and Japan have had a long history with Korea getting the short end of the stick but does holding a grudge and treating all Japanese people like crap do any good?
At my local store one night: I walk in and see the owner working. Now my cat had just peed on my fav shirt so I was a little upset. He said he was angry too. I was like why? "Those people are Japanese!" I was like what?
He was angry at a young couple from Japan who are spending their hard earned money in his store only because they are Japanese. This couple was maybe 35ish. They didn't do the bad things to Koreans.

I want to say that I don't dislike Korean people or the culture but I do dislike the treatment of non-Koreans by the majority of Koreans. Ask American football star Hines Ward about how he was treated for being half korean? His mom was spit on by other Koreans for marrying a black person.
Go to Korea, experience it first and then get back to me.

wow, pro hate itt

I'd agree with some of your sentiment here. The deep feelings of mistrust, racism, and animosity towards outsiders have their reasons. Cultures that believe they have been mistreated tend to do these things - turn inwards and take pride in their own culture while shunning others. We've seen this happen over and over again all over the world.

It's not easy to understand as an outsider, but I'm saying once again that they aren't all like that. Many are very welcoming and want to be friends with people from other groups and cultures. Some do not. It doesn't mean the experience of going over there will be awful for everyone, albeit I will admit it very well might be for some.

I'm Korean, so outwardly I'd be accepted differently, but trust me, I see it myself due to my hyper-sensitivity towards being tolerant to other cultures by nature of being an American living in an urban environment. I've criticized them myself, plenty of times.
