Be sure to do your research before going to Korea. Not saying you won't like it, but I know at least four people in Osaka now who were in Korea first, and hated it. One of my friends is in Taiwan now though, after being in Japan several years, and he really likes it there.

I can understand why you don't believe me shit every other day I see a soldier cheating on their wife/husband/girlfriend/boyfriend. The highest rankest soldiers are the worst offenders to. This female LT in my company I see her out with a guy friday night and than a new guy saturday night. Guess what neither of those guys were here husband.

But seriously my wife treats me to good and it is driving me crazy not seeing her. Everytime we talk she cries and tells me how much she misses me, I wouldn't be able to look myself in the mirror if I cheated on her.

Check this out. These kids are a little older:

That guy is actually one of my friends and he runs a few good schools in the Taipei area. If any of you guys ever go and teach in Taiwan-teach with him if you can.

Anyways, I never taken a class here. I have a lot of local friends and basically conversationally i'm fluent which is really all I want. Thing about Chinese is that it is NOT a hard language; however, if you learn it outside China or Taiwan it's very, very difficult. Having the immersion and ability to recognize copy the tones said by locals make learning the tones extremely easy as well as being immersed in the characters everywhere(constant practice) are the key things that just cannot be learned in a university class. It's funny when I first came to Taiwan I heard fellow foreigners speak Chinese and I thought they sounded fine, but after being here and speaking and listening to it everyday I can always tell which foreigner has lived here longer and who has not just by their accent.

I agree about all the hot asian chicks, but dammit I'm married and my wife is back in states while I am stationed here in Korea. So I get to admire all the fine ass Korean women but don't get to sample any of it.

Ah well I well be stationed back in the states in a couple weeks and I will finally get to bang my wife. But than in December I go to Iraq, so I will have to go another year without sex. Army life fucking sucks.

Sorry about the rant but good lord I need sex.
I heard there are prostitutes everywhere in Korea.
