living and training in south korea

hi everyone. So i recently moved to south korea and i thought i should post some stuff on life work and training here. So i was 96 when i got here about a month ago and i am 93 now but given the high humidity and having to do my diet from scratch i think its ok to loose 3kg. If there are any questions please ask

Do they really eat dogs there and how lean is the meat?

Are there plenty gym?
What are the gymming guys like?
Are roids big there?

yeah admin the dogs are on the menu but its a special breed and your only allowed to eat it outside city limits. it is also very expensive.

red meat is expensive ... i am about to eat a 250 gram steak that costs r300. other forms of protein are normal priced. i live of pork, fish and chicken.

there are a lot of gyms here but usually the dumbells only go to 30kg. barbell weights are plenty.

I have seen some big roid boys but they are us military. roids was legal here until 2001.

the place is worth the effort and the 25 to 30 thousand rand tax free salary with all expenses paid makes it worth while.

What work you doing?

It probably depends on a few things, like your age, career and number of dependents. If you're thinking in tax and rand terms, I take it you're coming back to ZA?

What's the language barrier like, or do you stick with your contracting firm?

i am teaching english. i was a business analyst in s.a

i have a friend who has been here 5 years and gets 60k tax free a month.

my plan is to marry the first canadian i can find for a green card. lol

almost no koreans speak english and nothing is marked in english but you get used to it.

ok, so if your not in the us military u won't get any juice in this place. So I went to Thailand to go get some. its also kinda hard to get your hands on stuff there but I found a pharmacy at paptong night market that sold me some ug and pharmacy gear. prices are good and stuff looks like nomad but under the British pharm label. I will start using today, hopefully there not fakes.

How old are you and how long you planning to stay?

Yeah cause that doesn't sound dodgy at all!

ok stuff is legit. i have the munchies real bad and getting serious pumps. i am in my late twenties and I will probably stay two years or until i find my canadian green card wife.

How's it going super beast? I've just recently moved to South Korea myself and have started up in a Gym in my part of the world. I was wondering if you could pass on any advice as to where you get good quality (and priced) whey from? any sites that you use or? any info would be greatly appreciated. As for getting gear down this side, well that's another whole kettle of fish I feel will take quite some time before I make any headway.
