Starcraft or Starcraft 2?

Well, the arrival of Starcraft 2 has come. Is it better than the original? Wait, let me check my TV............

Hmm. No, apparently, it's not better than the original, because the two television stations that are pretty much solely devoted to showing Starcraft matches are, well, still showing matches of the original Starcraft.

The original Starcraft came out in 1998. That's well over 10 years ago. But, this week when I was asking my 6th graders to come up with some different types of jobs, it only took a few seconds before someone shouted out "Marine." Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if I come back to Korea in 2020 and all the PC bangs (big internet cafes where you go to play computer games) are still packed with people playing Starcraft.

Anyways, in a topic that's not really related, here's a link to a list of some of the annoying things about living in Korea. I got it from a friend, and I showed it to my girlfriend, and I think we both agree that a large portion of things on the list are bound to be found in any country.

I usually try to avoid these types of things, because it's too easy to fall into the complainer mindset. However, I'd like to indulge and list my top 3 most annoying things about Korea:
1. Foreigners who complain about Korea (seriously, I hate hanging out with foreigners out here because that's pretty much all they do...especially the British)
2. Mopeds driving on the sidewalk (it doesn't happen so much up here, but down in Busan it was ridiculous. I hated it.)
3. Hmmm...I've gotten over the lack of public trashcans. I just carry my trash in my pockets. Ummm....yeah, I'd have to say that I really hate it when Koreans talk with their mouth full. Watch any Korean TV show, and if there's a family sitting down to eat, whoever is talking has food chunks flying out of their mouth. It's almost like it's intentional.

I always try to be fair, so I'd have to say that the three best things are:
1. The health care system (unbelievably cheap and amazing options)
2. Public transportation (unbelievably cheap and, again, lots of options)
3. Low crime (I can't ever remember seeing one shady part of any city in Korea, and I've lived here almost 2 years)
