i have a migraine and every other car in japan is a skyline. i will come back time to time with updates for anyone who cares
 
me and my brother were talking about this the other day

Skylines and Supras are so fucking expensive, yet so worthless. You can get a non turbo, automatic 10+ year old supra for 15k.

the cars get beat to shit by their drivers, have a ton of miles on them, and they are still soo expensive in comparison
 
yo i shouldn't tell you this but i saw this sick one but i had no korean money yet, just wait hahaha. but thanks

and yeast, we stopped in okinawa for a night because our main body is stationed thier, i'm on a detactment.

and valley, get the fuck out of your moms house and do something with your life

and korea is beautiful, somebody buy this man a camera cause he's broke
 
just because you still live in your mothers house doesn't mean we all do friend. i'm not trying to express my opinions on the US armed forces, i guess all i'll say is good for you.
 
big ups for you, my grandpa was in the navy, and stationed in south korea and japan. then my other grandpa was a cook for the army in south korea.
 
korea smells bad but the weekends are a blast. if anyone ever gets the chance to go to korea, save some money and go to busan. texas street to be exact.

other than that, i work A LOT. i will be hitting up a ski hill the day after christmas though if goes well and we don't have to work. and i'm hitting up seoul and the dmz on the 27-29
 
i just got back from a 3 day trip to seoul and let me give this advice to anyone who might ever go to south korea. for example like inspiring teachers or military. go to seoul. life changing experience. the DMZ alone was worth the trip let alone the sick clubs and shopping. i don't even know where i would begin to start on the story of this trip. a city of 10 million people and thousands of things to do.

here some pictures:

north korean standing watching on the border. just waiting for one of us too fuck up/ crazy shit

south korean also standing watch. strategically placed with half his body behind the wall so the north koreans don't know what he's holding in his left hand which is nothing lmfao. they also wear avator sunglasses for intimidation and they only choose the best solders to stand watch there. they are also 6 feet or taller so show they are bigger than the enemy since north koreans are on average 8 inches shorter than the average south korean which is like 5'7''. there has been a few incidents where tourist have crossed the border and started shoot outs. one time a russian from the north korean side ran to the south to escape and it started a 5 minute shoot out with casualties. that russian now lives safely in seoul married to a korean. yes he choose that location to run haha.

in one of those buildings there is a peace treaty room that is divided in half by tape to signify the border. we weren't allowed in due to h1n1 which fuckin sucked since we're all vaccinated but whatever. another one of the blue buidlings is for the swiss folks who act as a neutral between the two countries which is hilarous.

good times. the clubs were amazing
 
My dad was in the Navy. Two years in Vietnam during the late 50s working with the Koreans, Aussies, and French that were still there.
 
You absolutely must go to a "Jim-Jil-Bang" while your in Seoul. It's essentially a really ridiculously awesome public sauna/bath. I went back to Korea to visit relatives and I went to these bathes every night. So make sure you go to a big one and not a small one. and there open 24 hours.
 
he was actually on his way to be a high ranking paratrooper, but he messed up his back on a landing so he took the cook job
 
Don't worry the baths are super clean and I promise you that you will never have an opportunity to go to such bad-ass saunas again ever.

up to 6 different hot tubs, some with herbs floating in them, some with salt water, some hot tubs made out of gold, numerous types of jetstreams coming from below the sides and the ceilings, etc. Also their are numerous different saunas as well, all intricitley designed such as granite beds, quartz rock beds, etc.

I understand if you're uncomfortable with public bath situations, but Im telling you will never find CLEANER and such elaborate bath houses as the ones you will see in Korea.

but again you have to find a nice big one in Seoul or Busan, and not some small crappy one.
 
WOW you said BUSAN. FUCKING TEXAS STREET MAN. if any of you ever decide to go there. come with some stacks in your pocket. also had an amazing time there WOW. fucking texas street.
 
I do. That's awesome dude, I've never had life experiences like it looks like you have. I'm jealous of all that you got to see and experience. That's seriously sick.
 
I do bro, I think travel reports are dope and should be done on NS more often. Im an avid traveler myself and have never done one for the 14 countries ive been to. Im going to Germany this spring and will deff. do one now. Plus S. Korea looks dope now that you have showed us.
 
yeah it was pretty sick. i'd rate it somewhere between mountain creek, nj and vermont so it wasn't amazing. great considering I missed all of last season. worst part was avoiding thehug crowds. and lets just say koreans aren't amazing at skiing. sick picture in my profile though
 
Ballin man, pretty sick place to be stationed. My cousin just moved back from korea a couple mouths ago, she loved it, hope you have a good time out there man!
 
Yeah man. We got extended an extra 3 months to support the war efforts. A week from today would have been our last work day. Shit happens. I got muster in 5 hours for PT. FML hah. Been up playing xbox live.
 
is that on the border or something? that barb wire fence on skiers left looks mad sketchy
 
13 days till I leave this country. First movement left out this morning, and then there was 10. Getting trashed tonight with some korea girls. Life is good in Korea.

you sir do not know much about cars. but i do agree with the last statement. a lot of people think these cars are invincible or got their mommy to pay for them so they dont give a shit. I want a supra or a sc300, but im gonna wait till i have a steady income. Yes they are expensive and there is a reason for that. if you know what your looking for you can find an older skyline or supe with under 100 ks on them, just sayin.
 
i think you're embellishing the skyline part, not every other car, but coming out of the train station in shinjuku and seeing the street for the first time it took less than 10 minutes to see a skyline. i'd say every other car is one of those baller taxis.
