Im in South Korea right now
Whats up yall, im in South Korea right now as part of an International Studies exchange program and I have been laughing/flipping out over the cars they have here. Never have I seen so many hooked up Tiburons and Sonatas. They do have dope cars here though such as The Chairman. Its manufacturers made it with Mercedes Benz and it looks really similar to one. I wish I had my Z here cause I dont think any are pushing over 200hp. I almost puked on the hooked up sonata with a 5Zigen graphics on its side, just goes to show that rice is rice, no matter where you are. I arrived here at like 8pm which is 7am in the states with a fistfull of painkillers, and bad intentions. Im gonna try to get an authentic Nismo spoiler, hopefully it will be cheaper here. Anyways i'll be back in the States in 6 weeks and the hardest thing to leave was the Z. Havent seen a Z here and I swear no one even knows what it is, but I did see a hooookkked up Lexus IS that was very thorough. Tomorrow is filled with food, one class, and massages packed with not only happy endings, but a sequel, so I wont miss the states so much. Peace

yo brotha, i'm korean, god i miss korea.
about the cars there, i know, rice to the max, but please consider, koreans don't like japanese cars that much so korean cars are the only options.
if you can try to get a weekend out in japan. go to shibuya or any other county in tokyo.
i swear to god i've never seen so many skylines and NSX's.
i loved japan partly because of the culture but mostly for the bars and cars.
how is the weather in korea?

im also korean, havent been back in about 3 years. keep in mind, if u drive a hyundai granger (xg 350 in the US), that's like the equivalent to a benz here. cars are wicked expensive over there. i remember seeing many bmw 735s and 318s, etc. the best car i saw there was a alpina b12 5 series.

whats up yall, yeah I woke up at 6am today cause my sleeping habits are all wacked. Whats up Kelly, yeah im gonna miss the meet which really sucks cause the last one was a lot of fun, and the turnout was incredible. We will definitely have to hit up a cruise when I get back..... I miss the Z sooooo much. SangWL, the weather here is really nice, today its about 75 with a chance of showers, but its not half as humid as the states. I will go out and get a digi camera today, cause the cars that ive seen and havent shot are killing me! Japan seems nice, and im here for a while so that wouldnt be out of the question. Well ive got class in one hour and then its off to see he city, i'll talk to you guys later. peace

That said, I had a blast of a time in S. Korea and would like to re-visit it someday.

hahha you're just in the wrong cities i guess. my cuz lives over there and he's seen a few (not many over there) but speaking of rice, i don't know if you're korean but think about it, a whole nation full of koreans. wish i could be there with you and show you the beautiful world of my motherland. But i feel you tho, the tiburons probably the best sports car they have to offer over there, trust me i know. btw stay away from the red light district (88, korean lingo for ***** town) wish i could sport my z there too. have fun and drink as much SOJU as you can!!!

Another Korean here. I havent been back to Korea ever since i moved here which was 15 years ago. Im guessing you are in Seoul somewhere, but which district are you in?
Oh, and there are lots of hot girls in Korea, so keep an eye out for em. Also, watch out for Soju, it'll taste like water at first, but it'll get you drunk quick!
