GI,

Let me know when you will be back and I can run you through your old unit. I will be here awhile. Not sure if it’s the same coin shop but there are a couple.

GI Korea,

I agree that most of the protesters near Camp Humphreys are probably more interested in protesting against the US military than saving the livelihood of poor farmers.

(I do feel sorry for the old farmers, however, who are being displaced from long-term family land so that some shitbag “business association” member can play a discount game of golf).

I’m not sure about the subway situation but I’m guessing that when your building is torn down to build a subway, it means you have a subway stop nearby which raises the value of your land. Further, you are able to upgrade your old building into a new building with some good ol’ gub’ment compensation money.

I purchased a building on a main road that will be widened within the next 10 years. If it happens on my side of the road, I will be paid THREE times the value of the property I lose. In theory, this will pay for the construction of a nice new 5-story building which will go on the remaining property (which will go up in value as a commercial property on a wider road).

As a property owner, I’m not seeing anything to protest here… and I don’t expect demonstrations in the streets when everyone gets rich over “road expansion”. I wish they would do it tomorrow.

As for the Humphreys protesters, there is a tendency (due to a somewhat narrow perspective) for Westerners in Korea to mistake a few hundred loud demonstrators as representative of 47 million other Koreans who have no strong negative feelings about the United States military being in Korea.

Kormatt,

I’ll be back in Korea for a short while this summer, I look forward to taking the new line up to Camp Casey and seeing the new and improved Homeboyz EZ pawn. Hopefully Mr. Kim’s coin shop is back to because I need to get some coins made while I’m there.
