It was in Itaewon which is right outside the old A.erican Yongsan Army base.  It is known as the foreigners district in Seoul and the main area was known among American soldiers as "hooker hill" for obvious reasons.  I have been there many times and the night market is a great place to sample Korean Street food, get a soju kettle, and hit the clubs.

The US economy grew for the first time in six months. I see the markets have been having a good week.

Why?  Because I point out facts you dislike?  Maybe you really should spend some time in Russia just so then you could truthfully see how bad it is.  Maybe then you might not shill for a corrupt and evil dictator who has oppressed an entire country.



If you don't want to do that, or can't,  maybe look at some actual real life Russian vbloggers who document real life in Russia.  Vasya in the hay is a good example of that as is Inside Russia.

Am I shilling for Putin? Really?



He IS basically a dictator who has allowed himself and his cronies to be enriched by his position, but as for "oppressed" an entire country or calling him evil? Wtf?



He's modernised Russia far further than anyone else could have and relatively quickly in the grand scheme of things. As for suggesting that some parts of regional or remote Russia don't have running water (or water main connections, rather) or electrical grid connections, I can point to the very same fucking shit here in Oz or North America.



I don't have to "shill" for Russia any more than you shilling for the West... (a crumbling suicidal West at that).



WHAT I object to are the double standards America applies to other  nations like Russia.



JFK stopped the Cuban Missile transfer.... he's applauded for it. Putin did the same for his country, and he's vilified for it.



Good men do evil shit sometimes, evil men do good on occasions, because there are NO truly good or evil people out there....



I wish you'd abandon this unbridled patriotism angle. It makes you look like a deranged Leftist.

No, I am not fooling myself. You're fooling yourself, or rather your ingrained patriotism and aged biases are...

Russia is objectively a shithole and even you know it or else why haven't you moved there?  Patriotism has nothing to do with it.  You too could make $600 per month and live a life of poverty in Russia so why not do it?

Argentina has hit the 100% mark inflation in less than a year



Seems to be the "new normal" in Latin America



Vote for the left, vote for inflation



Now it's Colombia going the same way

Most of the street homeless (like 90%+) are hard core drug addicts.  All of them could go to homeless shelters if they wanted to do so but then they'd need to go to free state paid rehab and they don't want to do that.  This why they are street homeless.
