I only went there in HS as an exchange student and I hooked up with one of my host sister's friends who was a few years older. Not korean, I'm filipino. Its the chinese they are mainly against..but since I'm from the US it won't matter really anyway. I'd probably do ok...I think me being from California really would help me out as it did in Europe...people around the world have this vision of California which is from the movies, etc and gives me a lot of conversational topics. I'm also good at talking and bullshitting people to get what i need.
I usually go with pacific islander. "asian" usually have a negative connotation when talking to chicks in 'murrica.
Not that bad of an idea! I have family doing that making six figures and he works two weeks on and two weeks off. He wanted to be a teacher. Of course it's tough on his wife and kids when he's gone, but great when he's home.
