Well, here it is. Your official Korean update thread. It's created now so you HAVE to keep it updated.

Tell us where you're at, where you're going, what you're doing and post pictures. It will be just like you're married only to about 100 nosy TTers.

First update: What's the latest? When do you shove off?

The last time I was in Korea they had a midnight curfew. I rode with some MP's late one night and there were dudes in civilian clothes with automatic weapons at intersections along the main road.

For a long time Korea was a police state as was Taiwan.

Both places have taken a turn toward democracy in the last few decades.

It can be a fun place but do not marry a Korean lady unless you really, really love her. Why?

Because your house will be full of Oriental furniture and you will immediately be $10,000's in debt with it.

So again, do not marry a Korean lady unless you are OK with all of the above. That goes double if you are married over here already.

I know you'll want to join in, but try to stay clear of the riots. I hear it's not really that fun being hit with a water cannon.

I've been there. You can have a lot of fun and the southern part has some outdoor recreational oppurtunities. The recreation dwindles if you go north.

Also check out the rest of Asia for travel.

I just got a phone call from Crash. He is in Minneapolis/St. Paul (Haha, I was just there yesterday!) He is on his way to San Francisco where he'll have a full day layover and then he makes the jump over the pond to Korea. He sounds really excited!

Ooops, forgot to tell him the women over there sometimes have a particular form of dragon breath called kimchi breath. Oh well, he will learn regardless.
