Because everyone loves hookers…

Wilks over at Eye4Insanity posts on Korean prostitution. In particular, I found the picture of the church/massage parlor complex rather amusing.

On a related note, Wilks links to one Canadian’s ABSOLUTELY MUST-READ account of what a drunken night with pleasant company might entail:

Picking up an Asian woman at a bar is neither rare nor exciting, especially after a year or two of living there. The real stories worth telling involve paying for a good time and going to the luxury whorehouses with your comrades on the weekend. Teaching small Asians how to ask to use the bathroom in English can be a tedious gig, and what better to ease the boredom than some unprotected sex with women that can’t speak a word of your mother tongue.

Let me tell you what a hundred and fifty bones will get you in Korea?..

And he proceeds to do just that.

    The link to the picture doesn’t work, but camobear’s tale of “Korea for the foreign a$$hole” is really amusing. Interestingly enough, a night of fun at a luxury whorehouse in Seoul is cheaper than a similar experience in Manila.

    I haven’t read such a bleak view of humanity since Jonathan Swift, and the Canadian is funnier. These Engrish teachers get a skewed view of Koreans though (I mean outside of the brothel). They’re not all that dour, man.

    Re: the church and its condominium with the barber shop and the massage parlor. Take the Word to where the Word is needed! Sinners don’t get to hear? That’s the very essence of ministry, and also why ministers are called to serve in the Army — in the barracks and on the battlefield. It also explains why my legal assistant just quit to go proselytize in Afghanistan (yikes!).

    I’ve been frequenting Wilk’s site since it started —- good stuff.

    The pic of the gaudy, spinning, neon cross, flanked by two anma poles, is SUCH a reflection of this country in general, on SO MANY levels.

    I’ve only ever met one English teacher in Korea who has admitted to having had sex with a hooker. He’s a rather cantankerous and stubborn middle-aged guy who regularly does tons of idiotic shit. And everyone I know teaching English actually enjoys it. I think one’s perspective is related one’s environment–which, in large part, one actually chooses. Some choose to be lazy in every circumstance except following their dick everywhere it leads them. And some choose to go beyond the confines of trailerparkism.

    Ratio wise, there are more hookers in Korea than any other country I’ve ever been to including Thailand the the Philippines. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

    Every country has some women who will put out when price is right. Korea is no different.

    Some ex-pats, though, start thinking all Korean women are whores and they end up in the jail after making a wrong move on a wrong woman.

    Be careful. Be very careful. Koreans do get offended easily, especially when a foreigner makes even slightly sexual move on their women. Korea is not Brazil, nor Thailand. Many Koreans have repressed sexual urges which can turn into violence.

    As long as you go to a whore house and f*** a whore, that is acceptable. However, if you make a wrong move on a Korean woman in the public, you will become a lone KKK member in the black church.

    Be very careful.

    Usually the bottom of the barrel ends up in a whore house.

    Yes, cm, I do. Considering that the “hoes and housewives” service exponentially more Korean than non-Korean men, I consider that a racist prejudice.

    I’m with cm on this. It’s as if that Canadian set out to confirm the number one stereotype of the Canadian English teacher loser. Especially nauseating is the nasty misogynistic tone of it all (which makes all too clear that he isn’t getting the “tons” of sex that he claims to be).
    I might add that no Korean man in his right mind (I exclude newly arrived yuppie Kyopos from this generalization) would blog about women in those terms.
    Put me down for an “I am not a Canadian English teacher” T-shirt.

    Usually when you have sex with a massage parlor girl, she usually doesn’t allow you to change positions other than the girl on top one and tries to finish it under 15 minutes. And she certainly won’t let you cum in her face. The reason being, is that she has to do it with several men and wants to conserve her “assets”, plus it’s her job and believes that she should have some dignity during her job.

    Of course if she really likes you or if you look like someone who will visit her again(more money for her), then she’ll give you some leeway.(Don’t ask how I know)

    Wonder if the girl liked the Canadian guy that much or did he add a bit of BS to a true but plain story?

    Eeeeeeuuwwww! When I read that kind of stuff, I think (a few? some?) men are f***ing disgusting (pardon the pun). Why would any man want to do that? Nevermind. I don’t want to know. I really don’t want to know.

    That second link, Camobear, sounded like a Shanghai Bounder wanna-be and every bit as incredible.

    Sonagi,

    listen to Michael, years ago a then friend of my wife swore by it as a revitalising cream, we were told its use was quite popular in korea, and given some of the ingredients in commercial products its probably less disgusting and mostly free….

    I was against Canadians defining themselves via the USA. Nothing wrong with Americans defining themselves via Canada. Don’t ask me how it’s different; it just is. I’m going to use the Korean rhetorical trick of dismissing logic and saying everyone must simply understand my “peelings.”

    Arghaeri,

    You’re starting to sound serious, which makes me laugh even harder. Cucumber slices are cheap, natural, and a lot less disgusting. Honestly, do you slather your face with your own juice after you shave every morning? Please don’t answer that question on this thread.

    As for Korean women using cum as a facial cream, well, they believe in fan death, don’t they? Out of curiosity, I did some googling to find out the chemical composition of semen and see if it contains anything that might be good for skin. This site was very informative:

    http://www.answers.com/topic/semen

    The lipids and amino acids in semen would probably improve skin condition, but its alkaline nature, which helps sperm survive in an acidic vagina, would upset the pH balance of the skin. I think I’ll stick to cucumber and yogurt masks.

    Sonagi,

    I was serious, my wife’s friend a korean woman claimed to use it regularly, and spent some time trying to convince the wife of the medicinal benefits. However, given the korean medicinal claims for dog meat, kimchi and various other goods we never took it too seriously, but the point is there are peple out there who do!!! Then again maybe we should have given her the benefit of the doubt and researched it like you have.

    As for your question I am happy to answer, Nooooo way…., I don’t even use shaving cream when I wet shave, let alone any other product, natural or otherwise. I’ll leave the clinical trials to others.

    However, given the korean medicinal claims for dog meat,

    While googling info on nutrition, I came across research published by Purdue University which shows that animals under stress from neglect or the butchering process yield poor quality meat with a pH that is either too low or too high depending on the stress.

    Will pseudo-intellectual twits like arghaeri ever take into account or analyze the impact of over 1 million peasant Chinese living and working in Korea. Their habits, their culture, their penchant for dog meat?

    What makes the canadian English teacher the most bitter of them all? Is it due to some inferiority complex they have against the US? Did these losers in their native countries really think they’d be gods in others?

    Get this straight, you’re no superstar diplomat, international business mogul, or even a rogue scholar; you f**king teach f**king conversational English. That high horse you think your on is really just a donkey you silly blind a**
