Remember, I am Korean, I am only showing you my respect to a hyungnim. Ahh.. who am i kidding, America corrupted me--these old people jokes are fun! That is until an 18 year old kid pokes fun at me for not being down with new net lingo. I just learned what "Bool-pum" means in Korean by watching a variety show. As a KA, sometimes I can empathize with the newly arrived NK defectors who have no idea what the Korean youths say nowadays. Talking about tear gases, have you ever had a chance to gain empirical evidence that toothpaste on rags minimizes the effects of tear gases? roberneff:

Ok - I am old! Actually I am surprised at someone's comment about the biggest cans and racks - it is already here. Just check out the TV. The Korean cable network has lifted another idea from the good ol' USA (not a great idea) about an "Are You Hot" program in which a group of men and women parade out in front of everyone minus their tops (males) and very small bathing suits - women and strut their stuff. Some of these outfits are small and tight enough that it leaves nothing to the imagination. Trust me - when you are my age - its only my imagination that gets anything. Tear Gas - only too well. The last time I got hit with a big blast of tear gas was in the 90s at Yonsei's subway station. The riot police ran into the subway and were firing tear gas. Got so bad that many of us were literally lying on the floor waiting for the subway. The tunnels were filled and when the subway came it opened the door for just a second and we all struggled into it as fast as possible. I am still surprised that no one fell onto the track......... Tear Gas and memories........those were the days Generation gap - ouch - “I was too young to confirm the rumors at the time” double ouch. Ok - I am old!

I was too young to confirm the rumors at the time, but according to someone here, the rumors might be true. Anyway, I??ve heard about this kind of nocturnal lifestyle back in the late 80 and the early 90s. I am a bit shocked to read this one though, because I haven??t read a real report about it until this one (photos were definitely a plus). What I missed in Korea! All I had in my life in Korea was tear gas. Too painful to smell it..

Uah... generation gap. You must know what tear gas smells like. “I remember in the 1980s, just prior to the Olympics, that a couple of my friends and I went to a club…”

Personally, I would not want to see anyone's pubes on the wall anywhere or drink around them either.

What I want to know is how long it will be before there is a posting on the clubs that have the big cans/best rack or most generously endowed male/yard-sdick contest (for any of you in the business-this might be a your ticket to cash in on what appears to be a growing trend). I can picture it now, there could even be categories. Perhaps a contest might be organized-be the first to discover one of these such establishments.

At about 12am or so they cleared the dancefloor, and a girl came out in ????? and danced slowly. The, the DJ changed to dance music, and she began spinning around and around as she disrobed completely. I understand the culture connection (such as it is), but it was just a little strange watching a ????? stripper. Of course, it was still a little strange the next weekend, too.

I heard they had a promotion some time ago where you could get a couple free drinks for bringing in your pubes and a photo. Unfortunately I missed the date.
