Anonymous asked: Hope this isn't too creepy...I feel borderline stalkerish even asking, but did you work at SLP? Haha I worked there a while back and the wooded path looks familiar. Not many forested areas to be found in Gangnam...
Anon, this would be less creepy if you didn’t post as anon.

Case Study: Korean American Boys
Hypothesis: ARE THEY DIFFERENT?
Scenario:
Met a Gyopo on the street. He totally overheard me screaming at chatting with my Oppa Sig on Skype in Korea. I think the conversation went like this (in Korean):
Sig - OMG I MISS YOU SO MUCH COME BACK TO KOREA
Me- NOOOOOO I AM GOING TO LIVE HERE NOW!
Sig- Noooo Seoul is boring now
Me- TOO BAD YOU WILL LIVE FIND A NEW JAP GF
The Gyopo obviously thought the world was ending because there was a white girl speaking Korean in NYC. So we started talking.
Result:
He went to an Ivy League school and despite his dreams to be a chef or physical therapist is now going to med school (go figure)! His parents set him up with his last gf, a Korean Korean and it went horribly (shock)! Because she is crazy and kept asking him to buy her Prada shoes (more shocks). Then when he didn’t Katalk her at work she’d call him and yell at him (really shocking). Now he is leaving NYC to go to med school and is very sad but wants to make his mom happy (news). He texts me all the time at…9:30pm and asks if I can get drinks at 10pm on the other side of Manhattan.
Conclusion: No. No I can’t go get drinks with you because I’ve seen that musical and it ends badly for me and well for your mother. THEY ARE THE SAME! HORROR!
(I know this is one case and they are not all the same but really what are the chances of first new gyopo meeting being a page out of Korean stereotypes?!?!)

In the middle of Gangnam/Seocho there is a wooded path that I walked to and from on all the time. A great way to unwind after work.
