We had our on post here in yongsan about 5 min from our house. Labor went as smooth as possible. Was nervous as we had a Korean civilian as our delivery doc who we heard varied opinions on but we loved him. He was just old school but extremely professional and did s terrific job. All around was a very pleasant experience

Congrats on this. Korean Health care is amazing and so is the health care system. How long is your wife going to be in the hospital? A few of my friends have had babies and some spent up to a month in there.

Sam Tricket and his buddies showed up at Walker Hill at like 8am today. Just played 2/5 for for like half an hour and then left. Wish I would have thought to ask them what they're doing in Seoul.

Also, have any of you guys had a problem with some of the regs at Walker Hill. Last night a couple of guys kept instructing the fish what to do during hands they were not involved in (i.e whether or not they should call when fish is tanking on the river.) Seems like some really douchy jackasses frequent that place.

sam trickett? thats pretty cool. was in vegas when he took second in the one drop and watched him and antonio heads up for a bit.

were u playing 1/2 or 2/5? I have never had problems with any of the regs out at walker but there does tend to be a lot of table talk during hands. almost everyone you see out there plays there on the frequent.

congrats josh on the kid! i'll buy you a beer if i end up back in seoul. roommate and i were discussing spending a few months there....our lease runs out end of this month.

ppl talk all the time during hands at walker even if they're not involved. tilting as ****. like, guys will ask their friends at table for advice when it's HU on the river. sometimes it will be correct advice too and i mean, i'm used to not talking during hands so it's easy for me to keep quiet but inside i'm thinking "GOD STFU" as loud as i can.

worst is when you're playing against a team of 3-4 mongolians/chinese.

Saw that Eugene Katchalov (spelling?) was in Seoul too from his Twitter. Maybe he was hanging out with Trickett as well?

figures that once some legit pros make there way to check out walker im confined to the online grind lol

I'm traveling to SK one month from today, hit me up if you want to meet up for a drink

with the sudden turn of events with my son we will be being stationed back stateside where our son can get all the proper care he may need. while things are looking up and epilepsy is a very managable thing, our time in korea is coming to and abrubt end

Hi Josh,

I was diagnosed with epilepsy when I was 11 years old. I lived in South Korea while dealing with the condition. The medications are much cheaper in ROK than in America. If you are in a big city, you are likely to find doctors who are proficient in treating epilepsy. I didn't even live in a big city and I had a doctor familiar with my condition.

The facility and treatment our son is receiving here is top notch. We want to stay in Seoul. However the army isn't going to pay for him to be in a Korean hospital for very long tho. They are going to move us as close to our hometown as possible. The exact details r not finalized yet. The army is waiting for the med records to determine where the best place to move us is. But on the end it's our choice where we move which is nice.

Congrats but why no pics?
Here are some of Jeju island. This is my 2nd favorite beach on Jeju. Cheers.


Or some Dak Galbi:

i would post pics but i dont know how to post em unless its from a link on a website. how do i post pics straight from my comp?

First: I wasn't calling you out on pics. Sorry if it seemed like I was. Happy your wife and kid is doing good. 2nd: I want everyone to understand. I don't hate Korean people or the culture but it has it's issues. Also, health care in S. Korea is so amazing.

Easy pezy.

Some Beef Shabu Shabu for you all.
Cost for 3. 30 Bucks.
Jeju folk museum:

2 bucks to check it out and over 2 hours of things to see.

My bad. Mis read. Later then.

some random pics of the totally random sh*t they eat and drink - some bad, some surprisingly good!


This stuff is actually Chinese, it costs about $1.40 and is 56% alcohol - I think this **** would be illegal to sell (at this price) in the UK


Bugs as a side dish, served in most 'good' Ohgyeoupsal restaurants, not bad, but i'll rather have kimchi


Samgetang, Boiled Chicken and Ginseng dish, eaten traditionally on the three hot days of summer. Delicious


Dakbal, Chicken feet. Do not like..


Boshingtang ' healthy soup' aka 'mung mung tang' aka 'dog soup'. Surprisingly good


Sannakji - Live octopus, chopped in front of you, then you eat it as it's still wriggling around. Very nice taste!

Random pic which makes me lol:



Operator: Emergency, which department do you require?
Caller: I think there's a spy in the area!

peace

Hard to read the label on this picture. My guess is that it's baijiu though.

i had some chinese liquor at a place in itaewon about a month ago for a farewell dinner and just the smell made me gag. have no idea what it was called but it literally smelled like BO and sprite mixed together. I had one shot to give it a try but it still makes my face cringle thinking of that liquor lol

That looks like Home Plus.

You don't like chicken feet buy you like dog soup. Interesting. 몽몽

Yeah that's in homeplus. The spirit is called 'er guo tou'. I was shocked at alcohol content at that price. tasted like **** neat, but is fine with a good mixer.

The chicken feet themselves I don't mind, its the sauce they cover it in that is toooo spicy, makes it unpleasant to eat!

Dog soup is pretty good to be honest, since I don't have any emotional attachment to animals eating it was no big deal. Hanuw/Samgyeoupsal/Boshingtang all just tasty animals to me.

I would argue that there's hardly no meat in Samgyeoupsal. Its a thick slice of fat. And there's no bolder flavor than pork fat, so I can understand why people love it.

If it's a clear liquid, it is baijiu.

It's absolutely brutal. The old Chinese local men can drink it like it's water. Like you, I gagged upon drinking a small shot.

I rarely drink Chinese liquor. I am willing to go to a large store to buy some imported whiskey.

yes im always down to drink pretty much whatever (tho im a scotch guy) but that chinese liquor was the definition of Man's Game.

Dog soup smells like my shoes after I run 10 miles in the summer. Why the hell would I want to eat that stinky ****. Oh that's right!
It make euh your wiener muchy harder euh. Good staminaaa for sexy time. This is extactly what a Korean man told me about eating dog soup. Also, said it's good on hot days since it's so salty or something.

Sam came with Winfred Yu, and some other Macau pros to party at the UMF, and then came to Ellui after . And if you look at his twitter lately - I can't believe he even sat down and played 2/5 lol . Nice guy tho !

As far as the regs telling fish what to do. Were they instructing them as in options? or telling them to make moves based on their card strength? Very unlikely a reg would be giving out solid advice considering they would want to take the fish's chips eventually.

If there is a problem just call the floor - it's simple. If you're not satisfied with the ruling - talk to the owner Kevin Song - he's always around.
