Traffic here is crazy. Everywhere are these flat bed trucks, from the size of golf cart all the way up to a 5 ton dually thing - and they all have the same attitude no matter the size; I have right of way - stay outta my way - I gotz important shiat to do - and you in my way. to that note Red lights in rural Korea are 'optional' - meaning if no traffic coming - even though light is red - you don't stop.... and whoa to you that do infront of a truck that wont (hint - big truck win in international game of right of way) luckily roads that have big trucks are mostly toll roads, and they don't let motorcycles on those - so you are never going to be playing in the same intersection....(hopefully) |

City...I thought you moved to somewhere in eastern europe a few years ago as an "Ex-Pat". Is this the same trip? I may be confused. I tend to watch mostly the motorcycle threads. |

I had a bid into an apartment complex in Kiev, .... and unfortunately - lost my a$$ in it. When dealing with overseas realestate - never trust remote negotiations So I had to drop back and punt, and find a paying gig.... in ANY country that I could get and fenaggle I landed in Korea. Selling Harleys Not bad a bad move all things considered. there is even a little enclave of Russians here that left from Vladivostok to come to Korea it will take me a while to build up what I lost, but I have no intention of coming back to the US; not in the state it is in, and not in the trajectory it is aiming. Happier Abroad (my BP has landed back in normal ranges, and my mood is immensely better - you might have noticed that I don't grumble pot like I used to ; my apathy and indifference have fully kicked in) the coming crash is now a spectator event for me, not one of front lines and targeted by the alphabet agencies and the WH minions. |

I gotta say, kinda off-putting, your attitude towards America. You though the Ukraine would be better??? Seriously? S. Korea is better? You in Seoul? Are you $&@%ing kidding me? Get your ass back here in due time and help us defend freedom! |

There has been a six year slide proving that the sheep do not want freedom - they would rather have free stuff for the dumb. And as I have been in the front of things, and the pointy sharp end of it at times, I know my name is on a list somewhere. Happier, and Safer Abroad. case in point - how is that CT gun registration going ?..... |

Right now we are waiting for the first public massacres when machine gun armed armored masked men burn down a house full of children in an attempt to capture dangerous .22 magazine. |

how is that CT gun registration going ? the Citizens have informed the state government that they will not comply with the unconstitutional law. and the state police have had a rather embarrassing video where an official clearly steps over the line. tic tic tic ...... } |

You should see what the SAFE Act is doing in NÜ York. You can sort of keep your scary assault weapons if you register them, but when you die you cannot pass them on to anyone in the state. Nor can you sell them to someone in the state. They can never be re-registered in NY. This is a gun ban by attrition. I am forced to live here at least another 7 years because of work, but I am taking all my money and business out of NY at the first chance. F these incompetent thieving bozos. |

Brian, I sure hope you're wrong. When Andrew Breitbart was found dead due to "heart attack", I wondered. Still do. Ventura moved to Mexico I think I heard. Minders for news rooms? Obama wishing for a civilian security force to rival the capability of the military? We'll get things turned around eventually. Republic of Texas maybe. I think you've seen the genocide and cleansing, but I think maybe more imagination is justified when seeing it coming to America. I'll prepare anyway. Hope you can return soon. Sorry the Ukraine didn't work out, with your language skills that would have been nice. I'm an admirer of Vitaly Klitchko. Let's see the puny "strong man" Putin face him in person in diplomatic discussion. |

This President needs a wag the dog moment; and whether it is a domestic farcus, or an international hub-bub; both / either - will serve the same purpose. To distract, disorient, and conceal the expansion of the power of the Executive Branch / Fed / IRS triumvirate The mile markers are Violence in 2014 Collapse of the Dollar in 2016 Suspension of Elections for 2016 Martial Law on Domestic US soil wait and see watch and learn I will eat crow if I am wrong - but it will be from overseas and served with Kimchi |

Take a look at the Bill of 'Rights' there is not a single one of them that this administration has not put a caveat and executive rendition upon. Not a Single One of them. The Constitution; as written, has been out of force for years - and if you want to look at the Patriot Act - over a decade. Signed up for the Cherry Blossom Festival MWR Field Trip at the Korean Naval Academy - it will be nice to see it again; I haven't been there in over 20 years. |

This thing has been coming a long time; and when I started ringing the bell about it in 2006; everyone thought I was off my meds, should be on meds, or was taking drugs.... 7 years later... and they are right on track for damn near everything I said they would. I have been kicked off several boards for my brand of 'paranoia' I thank y'all for not tar and feathering me ! I had to get out; I know all too well the way these things play out. I am done ringing the bell That ship has sailed Shoot back if you got em Remember the antenae truck is not your friend and Political Generals / Admirals like cushy seats far away from the action if you want this thing stopped - it is the leadership - not the rank and file. (and that includes Sen / Reps - that endorsed, encouraged, supported and pushed what is coming) |

'Kim-Chi' is everywhere ! I even had it folded into eggs for an omelette - with the beef left over from the previous nights BBQ affair - it was quite yummy. it is also used as the moniker for the little POS trucks that are prevelant around town. Kimchi 'Wagon' - any rickety old truck/van used for shop deliveries some of them are not much bigger than riding lawn mowers (think J Deer Gator - out on the streets - Yikes !) |

So we're still talking kimchi? I'll say this...pretty much around the world, at least right now, it's a cut and paste environment. What I mean by that is all world gov'ts are usurping local rule by their massive meeathooks ($$$$$$$) and of course, after awhile, local/county/state gov'ts just can't function unless they receive that gov't cheese. We always said "all politics is local" well, now it is, because ALL drink from the same trough! Wonder what the land cruiser would look like in camo |

fantastic. I was both saddened and encouraged by the movement of Oath Keepers. encouraged that LEO and Military that vow to defend the Constitution, and the Second Amendment.... discouraged that we must make such assertions and they are seen as 'radical' or 'right wing' ;?/ |

I will have new apartment with interwebs on the first of the month, own ISP and photos in shortly If you have ever seen any of my tech skills - you know I am one step above crayons and etcha sketch. Photoshop is black magic to me. The Ukrainian and Russian girls aren't getting along - it is funny how that conflict translates to local tension. Miki - is Ukranian - you INVADED our Country ! Nadya is from Kyrgyzstan - Bitch that be Ours from long ago Neither of them are old enough to remember the cold war. |

it seems you have 'interwebs' now...you know, since youre posting online. So youre saying you dont own a cellphone with a camera? Or a digital camera? Or your computer/tablet doesnt have a camera on it? just odd that you have no actual pictures of your big trip, just wiki links to vehicles etc |
