Besides the questions related to the series, I have received below questions.

1. So you don’t want to go back to South Korea for good one day? ^^ (i guess not)

– I want to. But I’d want to go back as a tourist. Not to make a living there. I think going back to take a visit would be nice. But I know that staying in Korea more than a certain time period would wear me out shortly.


Korean food is amazing. All of the different sauces and marinated meat.
Pure garlic and chopped pepper to add spice onto the food.
Well one of the best things I used to enjoy doing was to eat intestines under the rainy weather. Like, outside it is just a bit slightly less than pouring down, and you are at a local intestine restaurant (the pictures are not mine, but the restaurant is where I used to go.)
You pick up a Korean rice wine (막걸리) at the restaurant.
(Totally from my perspective) Next to you sits a beautiful woman you know you will have sex with in a couple of hours.
The intestines are chewy, giving an amazing texture that just helps to keep releasing serotonin in your brain. With a drink, it is always an amazing combination. I miss that aura. I miss that vibe.
You know the next day you don’t have to go to work. All you have to worry about is not getting too drunk because (winks winks above.)
You have nothing to worry about; the rain calms you down; and you just let the night flow.

Maybe this is where a lot of foreigners is so attracted by the culture. Bonding and letting the worries go by socializing with the people who you feel closely connected to. And it happens every weekend and cheap (so, affordable.)

Especially it is so much better if all of the friends and their girlfriends’ just hang out,. grouped together just socializing and drawing good laughters! Where can I get that so easily in the U.S. besides having already known friends for a long time already?

Other than just visiting, to enjoy a vacation, I do not plan to visit home.

2. Is there something about South Korea that you miss?
Right above… Intestines! Some of you may feel grossed out, but once you develop a strong liking on your tastebuds for a bomb intestine grill, you will (sometimes) say ‘no’ to a Maestro’s steak (A famous steak restaurant here in LA) for a good sesh of hanging out with the groups of friends and people in front of the delicious intestine grill.

Given the premise which reads, “only if it is fun and there are not any stupid people f-ing up the friendly and socializing atmosphere.”

And just people in general. I miss my good old friends who live in Busan, who I didn’t see for such a long time. They were born in Seoul, South Korea. But because of their family’s emergent financial situation, they had to move down.

I just think that Koreans bring a good company as long as they do not personally have a reason to compete or fight against you (as long as they are not jealous of you in any aspect.)

I am sure it is only because I come from a very narrow culture background which is Korean culture. And that Koreans often used to become this community I resort to (though not any more.)

But I do miss the good old vibe. Like the real friendships and loyalty among friends for a long time and actually thinking for each other. That’s what Korea had let go today in the pursuit of personal greed and satisfying his own jealousy.

Real caring about each other and the sincere relationship. Not an single ounce of sincerity exists over there now. Everything is about money and status. How to look superior to your even the closest friends you used to hang out with.

And I think it is true, considering our human basic nature. That the best friends are those who have nothing in common with you lest they should become jealous in the common area you share. For example, you are a lawyer and your best friend is a lawyer as well practicing similar law fields. And there will be likely a chance for your friend to feel jealous over you (given that you make a surpriser outcome/income than he) and vice versa.

It is just the basic nature. I think that Koreans, coupled with conformity to openness and closely connected culture in a circle of fiends (meaning the friends know everything about each other =nosy,) become this perfect candidate for testing the basic human nature. They know each other too well and too much.

My best friends are those who have nothing in common with me. Their life direction is completely not compatible to mine (no one is superior, just saying that they are not aligned with mine.) It is always an easy hang out and conversation with them, goofing around and as if we were back to being 7 year old boys talking about whose dick is bigger and who gets more girls. Though clearly we often talk about serious matters in life, yet there is no one with a 2nd thought/plan to fuck me over behind me.

3. How is dealing with the alcohol addiction going so far?
I have no such symptoms if I quit any addictive stuff. It includes tobacco as well. I do not have any specific symptoms of shaky hands or severe depression (besides that, I tend to have a minor depression easily, not due to the above, but due to my personality developed as this negative person.)

I got back to the gym.
All I have to do is to substitute this void (not drinking at night when I have free time.) To work out as much as possible. Now health is my primary goal. I got back to working out at the gym. I will be healthy again.
