Did you know any Korean or did you just speak English? What were the prerequisites required to teach? How was Korea. Any interesting student stories?

i knew some korena, being korean myself, but was far from fluent. my program, called TaLK (teach and learn in korea) was pretty low level and really only required you to be in uni/colege and from a country that had english as a primary/national language. it was pretty great i loved my time there. i taught only younger kids, preschool to 6th grade so no real interesting stories there but i do remember one fall they had an event and put on a show for the towns people at the auditorium and we were all getting drunk off rice wine which i found incredibly odd but fun

you go to a vidya cafe? they look comfy

do you mean a pc bang or a video bang? the former is a place with a bunch of computers for gaming and the latter is a smaller room for couples to fuck

fuck it, both sound interesting. tell me bout both pls

ive only been to the former desu. im not a huge gamer so it was only for a week into my new place at the town i was placed in through my program. i think it was like 50cents-a dollar an hour. i didnt have wifi at my place for that first week so id stop by and the guy/girl at the desk would give me a free drink since i came so often/was new. i also went accidentally to a porn pc bang lmao which was pretty hilarious

the only thing i really know about korea is soju. love that shit.

>went accidentally to a porn pc bang
kek, sounds fun. how'd that happen?

based love soju myself
so i was in a program that had a bunch of younger people come together and do 'orientation' for a month which was really just a shitfest of drinking and getting to know eac other. most of us didnt have phones when we got in so we didnt have any way to contact each other beyond fb messaging. the first weekend a group of maybe 10 of us decided to go to seoul and there was a clusterfuck at the train station and i elected to stay behind and let everyone else just get on the leaving train since i at elast knew some korean. got another ticket and arrived an hour or two later. didnt have any way to contact them so i thought id just pop by a pc bang and message a friend. couldnt find one for a while so i walked on until i ran into finally one. it said 'sungin' which means adult but i was like no way and walked up the stairs. a dark ass room and the guy at the desk led me to a solo room down a dark hallway. the desktop was FILLED with porn. folders named by date filled by japanese and american porn from the month or two before that day. dark room, tissues on the side. i went straight to fb to message my friend and found they were all waiting at some nearby station. decided to have a wank before i left sincei paid for it lol.

holy shit, I'd pay for a wank room that sounds great lmao. Got any other stories you wanna tell us user?

Was thinking of doing JET. How hard is the job, i know that you don't need to no japanese(i want to do the Japan one), but is teaching hard? Like what do you do all class? Also do you have to be an expert public speaker.

it was pretty nuts. uh idk i drank a lot back then and partied a lot as well what do you want to know? i got laid for the first time there too. also had a bartender girl crush on me hard and got free shots once in a while
a friend of mine did JET and had a miserable time but said the work was easy. she just was running away from her shit at the time which i think was a bad choice thinking life ina new place would fix it all up. i think JET is more solid than my program was and you need to either have or be given set syllabuses

Yea. Literally sounds like me, i want to run from my hell and try to start over somwhere. Its not like anything is going good for me now where im at.

i dont know anything about you or your situation so its hard for me to really say what will and wont work. a change of scenery may help many people but i think you shold really take some time and think about your life or issues in your life before making a big commitment like that. i hope it does help but i also saw many people in my short time who thought they could find themselves by running away and endeed up feeling more alienated

I'm just enjoying your stories lad, how about your first shag?

her name was veronica. she had come to the program with her ex bf but had applied together and was a total weeb. shed get wasted during our orientation and wrap all over me and she was kind of cute so i was fine with it but she was also really annoying and clingy so the new friends i made didnt like her. that first weekend in seoul she asked if she could come along but i had to make up some excuse since my friends didnt want her fucking up the trip. keep in mind we were all, mysefl included, very young and naive. first night we go from dinner to bar to bar to club to club to karaoke and finally end when the sun was coming up. it was legit sunrise when we decided to walk back to our love motels, which we grabbed since it was so cheap. i heard someone scream my name in the early morning and whipped around to see her and two other guys in frony of a convenience store drinking soju with a bag or two of chips. i was properly drunk so i told the rest of my group to just go on ahead and sat with them and took somf more shots
cont.

eventually the other guys got the clue since she was so clingy with me and left for their own rooms. we downd the rest of teh bottle and she said she wanted more. so we went into the conveince store and grabbed another. i remember standing in front of the drinks and looking up at the cicular mirror thats in so many of those stores and hearing her whisper
>lets fuck lets fuck lets fuck lets fuck
over and over to me and feeling drunk and disorientated as hell. went back to her place and fucked using no condom since i was a stpid virgin and thought itd be okay. i couldnt cum for the longest time and ended up just jerking off on top of her after like 15 minutes of no sensation. woke up the next day, earlier than her, and just sneaked out back ot my friends

everyone's first time sucks, dw bout it. what're love motels like?

the few cheapo ones i went to were just small motel rooms with porn playing 24/7 on the TV if you turned if on but again this was a while ago and ive heard things are better now and you can get rooms that have themes in korea.

madness, idk what else to ask lol

yeah it was madness for sure. i do miss it and the friends i made and the wired stories i had thanks to my year there

travel is always fun, got any plans to do anything like that again?

nah im too old now for a program like that but i def would like to try new places. germany esp during oktoberfest is top of my list. how about you user?

got an invite a while a go to join a punk commune in florida, but rn im super busy and pretty happy in the uk. Haven't had a holiday in years though, wouldn't mind one soon.

uk always sounded nice to me but idk if that just grass is greener or not. been to france just once as my only trip to europe and that was fun. if you could choose one country to travel to right now where it would be user? itd be japan or germany for me

Did you only fuck the one girl in Korea? How long ago were you there? It seems like you lost your virginity relatively recently.

Japan sounds fun, America would be nice because I simply havent been.
And don't come to the UK, its a shithole. the fucking worst. its a police state with fuck all to do but take drugs. which you can do, because its a shitty police state.

Did you learn Korean while there? Or did you already know some before you went?

Also, what are you doing now? does it help with job prospects?

Sorry if that's a lot, I'm interested in teaching English abroad too

nah i hooked up with another girl in the program and then hooked up with 2 more korean girls during my time there. this was around 4-5 years ago
i knew some korean before i went and didnt really learn much more. im working at a publishing company now and while im not sure my time teaching in korea helped im sure it didnt hurt. where are you thikning of teaching user?

>where are you thikning of teaching user?
I'd love to go to Japan. I'm not a virgin weeb or anything, I just love the idea of going to a place which is completely far removed from what I'm used to. I've also thought about somewhere in Africa which is nice, like Rwanda

Does your job at the publication company have something to do with your degree?

is it true its all burnouts and weebs that go into these programs?

You're circumcised, arent you?
