I won't call the cops, I'll just let my gilrfriend do that (if she's at my place) cuz the cops were pretty good when they were arresting that guy who was killing the dog. She was smart and took a video of it. Oh and this podcast was helpful.

Actually I'm perfectly happy with the city. It is quite nice. My apartment is okay too, it is in a convenient location near by a large road, down the street from the city hall. I have lived there for about a year and a half. It's just the few times when crazies do things. Also to the credit of my landlord (Who also lives in the apartment building, actually within a few feet from my place.) they don't really tollerate that kind of bad behaviour as well. I didn't really yell at them, I said from the fourth floor 야이마 하지마. Still it's a 4 floor apartment building that has families living in it, we really don't neet that. I live in Jinju.

I heard that stuff regularly, too. In the little pocket of "paradise" I live in now, the most noise I get is from the elementary school and sagwa trucks. Sometimes some "gangsters" shot fireworks below our place, but we've had little crazy domestic disturbances. I think it's a good thing that you yelled at fucks who were fighting in public. That is one of those things that I just won't sit by and excuse with "oh, that's just part of their culture." No, it's low class redneck trailer trash behavior, and they should be called on it.

I've only seen a couple of incidents where I wanted to get involved (and almost did), and I've lived here for 5 years.

Or heard in my apartment. October 2007: A Korean couple in my apartment fighting two nights in a row. On the third day they were kicked out. (Thank you landlord) It really sounded like the guy was beating her. December 2007: A few apartment buildings away a guy was attacking his old lady with a toaster. July 2008: A guy on his roof was killing a dog with a hammer. My girlfreind called the cops and they arrested him. He was an old guy who was sick and wanted to make soup. The kicker, he stole the dog. Last Tuesday: more neighbors in my apartment were fighting. 18s and son of 18s flying everywhere. I saw out my window this dude smack his woman in the face, so I yelled at them to stop. They looked at me, then continued fighting. Another neighbor who owns a small grocery store was watching, by this time. It then started to stop. I'm really getting kind of tired of this stuff. Things I have seen out my back window.
