Just to throw an update out there, I'm back in Korea and doing pretty well. I'm working at Dongsan High School, which is one of the top high schools in all of Korea, and it's definitely a great gig. Last year, at the private academy, I was working around 35 classes a week. Now I'm working 16 a week. I also have more vacation time, more money and the kids are pretty great. All in all, it's going really well so far.

I am thinking of buying a motorcycle though. I'm getting tired of taking taxis everywhere I want to go and when I was looking at scooters, I saw this beauty...

 

 

It's now all I can think about. My problem is, I probably don't need it. And if I were in Indiana, it would be okay because the roads aren't too packed and most drivers are sensible. That's just not the case here in Korea. Drivers zip in and out of traffic, red lights are suggestions and many occasions, I've seem drivers on a six lane road make a left turn from the far right lane. So riding this guy around town might be a tad dangerous. But I've always wanted a motorcycle and it'd save on transportation and I'd be able to travel around the city more.

I can't decide if I should or not. It's a really good price, but still more than I need to spend. Let's hear some thoughts. Someone make up my mind for me, because I just can't.

Should I?

You could always sell it when and if you leave.  I could just see you riding around town on that bad boy.  I say go for it!!!

Sure, buy it! Just let Locks-Of-Love know, sign your donor card, and will me your Hero Clicks collection.

Can you stuff all that hair in a helmet? (Think Troy Polamalu)

Get a lesser motor bike.  One of the really gay looking ones you can buy at the many scooter shops.

get a cheap one that you won't care if a taxi hits, or if it gets stolen, knocked over, etc.

DO IT!  i so would!  just promise you will drive safe. :)
it's okay, i totally understand it was probably crazy before you left.  i'm glad they let you back in!

i really do want to tour Asia and come visit you; you make Korea sound way more interesting than I expected it to be....so now I'm curious.

I saw a wicked Vespa two days ago just sitting on the corner of a street here in Hong Kong and it really made me want one. I understand your frustration.... taking taxis everywhere is quite inconvenient, and the cost adds up quickly. Cars are too troublesome, and it seems that a two-wheeled contraption is the most sensible. But I agree with Jeremy: do it. And wear a big helmet.

I say you need to get the tiniest scooter you can find. It would be frickin' hilarious to see you cruising around on a tiny little machine.

Miah, I'm almost always on board for guys buying motorcycles if its affordable ... but thats for guys in Indiana. I think with your particular circumstances, maybe you should wait. A Vespa maybe? But then again, that could be more dangerous. And I think I can speak for everyone when I say, we like Miah coming home in one piece ... and not in one piece inside a pine box.

Other than that, I'm glad everything else is working out well for you!

My philosophy for shopping goes something like this, "Will I use it? Will it help me be more productive? Heck, I'm only going to live once! Why not?" If I don't have a really good answer to the why not question, I normally take the plunge. Let us know what you decide!
