...I don't want to get all political but here's a note about eating dog that I only learned after living here for a few years. Dogs that are eaten are strung up by their necks and beaten with a stick until they die. This is thought to fill their muscles with adrenaline giving a man more stamina....

Following on from that it will also depend on where you will be living in Korea. I lived in the countryside (very small town) in my first year here and I could hear the poor dogs getting beaten every week during the same (they have offical dog eating days here in Korea). It was awful since I am a big dog lover and always had a dog around the house but it depends on your preference. I have known a few teachers who enjoy eating it but I'll never be going down that road!

It's interesting that this country is so conservative but cares only about "stamina." What do you say about that Eric?
