Sorry for the late response, I don't regularly check my e-mail notices.

Lol, it's cool, was still relevant to the topic.

That's great to hear. When I read that chapter I was hoping someone would find strength and understanding from that. I've found inspiration and, as corny as it sounds, wisdom from OP, though my example isn't as clear as yours. The characters and the world are larger than life and not completely realistic but it's the principles Oda uses them to tell that I admire. I have to appreciate it when a fandom actually helps you grow as a person.

My contract is upin August, not sure if I can last till then. A new woman bought into my hagwon a couple weeks ago and has ruined a good job. If I had more money saved I would have quit last week when she chewed me out. I think for the next few months I am going to stay home and eat ramyan. Save as much as poss. She has confirmed that I never want to teach engrishee again!

So whats your plan for after? Asia travel session? A lot of fun to be had my friend! I hope to be working onthe great barrier reef down under by years end but as always its about the $$$, no mon, no fun!

ha! thought we were already friends? odd.

you in Seoul? I am on Jeju if I have not already said so. anyway, peace!

Okay... I've seen that box-set before. If you decide to watch those, You may want to see Unforgiven as well. It feels like it could be part of the series.

"I tried to stream Seven Samurai for the first time today - never seen it - but I couldn't find anything with the subtitles. Has anyone seen the anime it was made after, by the way?"

You mean the anime based on the film right, and what anime is it?

Oh... The Good The Bad and The Ugly and these two films are known as the Dollars trilogy.

I could have rolled with that mix all night.

Clever aren't I?
