My wife and I are hosting a foreign English student in our house for a month.
This is first one we have had. It will be nice to interact with other cultures, exchange stories, try different food......ok, we get $500 a month to do this.  Seriously I'm really looking forward to scaring him.....when I show him American freedom.

If he's a male he's already done his time in the ROC Army - 75% or Air Force or Navy 25%.
Mandatory service requirement for the physically able ... something we ought to think about here. |

If his attitude is anything like the Korean store owners in LA during the LA riots, I wouldn'r mind having him around.
Even without the $500 a month. |

If you need any advice or language help, I bet ARDOC would help with the culture gap, he is of Korean descent and seems like a pretty helpful guy.

I speak barely passable Korean. Also the last time I went to Korea they kept pointing at me and saying the American guy over there. I guess I smell different and not to mention I outweigh them by about 100lbs. |

No not all. My gut has gotten bigger but I am just a lot taller and wider then most Koreans. They its all the American food that I have been eating. What is interesting is that the kids that are eating more like Americans in Korea are larger too. I guess its all the hormones and antibiotics in our food. My cousin and I are the same age and both set of parents are about the same size. But when I stood next to him after about 20 years. I could have squashed him with one foot. It was ridiculous how much more muscle and bone I had then him. He looked like your prototypical small asian. I am more akin to Dat Nyguen. Now is also an abberation thats becoming more common. I am telling you its in the food! |

One of my best friends is of 100% Japanese descent, 5'10'' and did Judo for 25 years and at the time this story happened was about 35. He was working for a Japanese firm and had to attend a meeting in Japan. Well, there was a deal going down where his company and him specifically were going to get screwed out of their end of the deal and the situation was getting really tense. Well, my bud has a short fuse to start and the Japanese guys in the room figured he didnt know any Japanese, being an American and all... so they proceed to poke some nasty fun at him in Japanese and finally the biggest Japanese guy, I guess he was over 6 foot some kind of giantism looking guy, there decides to tell him he is a:
Bannana Yellow on the outside and white on the inside. Well my bud just goes across the table after him and wraps him up in a judoka cross choke using this guys business suit like it was a ghi and tells him he is going to cut things off and place them in improbable locations if he makes cracks like that again. The other thing he found when he went to Japan is that nobody thought he was actually an American, and told him to quit pretending he was American  He had a fun time in customs with that one Dram |

a buddy of mine has this Korean friend that he brought over to my house one time. The kid has dual citizenship I think, I know that he was born in and spent a lot of time in Korea. All three of us are in the Air Force. Well, I swear his tampon about fell out when he saw my AR and my glock. Then he started talking about how they didn't have crime in Korea because they couldn't have guns there, and that he doesn't think that people should be able to have guns like that, what do you need it for, blah blah blah.
Well my first instict was to tell him to get the fuck out of my house, and second get the fuck out of my country if he doesn't like it, because he shouldn't be in the United States military if he isn't here to support the US Constitution. Instead, I tried to be an adult, and do my part for our cause, by spending three and a half hours explaining freedom to him, and educating him regarding the misconceptions and brady bullshit that his brain was full of. After all was said and done he was all for gun ownership, supposudly (sp?). Well my friend told me that not a week later he saw some liberal biased news piece and was all about gun confiscation again. Fucking faggot. No matter, from what I understand he is a total fuck up and his supervisor is doing everything he can to get him kicked out of the Air Force. Good riddance.

My MIL and her neighbors had a pretty good little business going hosting foreign exchange students from Hong Kong and Japan. One neighbor converted her garage into a two-bedroom apartment and a bath, which when combined with the house, gave her 5 bedrooms to rent. She gets $700/month for the girls. That's $3,500 a month tax-free. All she has to do is provide utilities and two meals a day. She’s retired and the home is paid off. She also has a pension and social security coming in. Owns a Mercedes and travels all over the world.

Hey I've got three spare bedrooms. Can I get two students in my house and make $1000 a month?
Is that money to be spent on the student or is it all you? How do I get involved? wooOOT! |

The MIL and her neighbors get $700 a month, I guess it depends on where you live and if you provide food. They use this program. www.isphomestays.com/ There are other programs depending on where you live. You have to provide a safe and secure environment, provide all utilities, and perhaps even an Internet connection. The program above pays $550/month without food, and $700/month if you provide food. For the full $700, you are responsible for two meals a day. The money is yours to do with as you please. There are no restrictions on the money whatsoever. There are good points and bad points. You will lose a little privacy. If you host girls, you can't walk around in your boxers any more. You have to be strict too. The MIL booted out several girls. One girl left the house unlocked all the time, another almost burned down the kitchen cooking, and another invited her friends over to eat (that is not allowed).But, it is a pretty good way to supplement your income. The MIL remodeled her kitchen and travels the world on the money she made. Two kids could easily pay the car payment on a nice ride. EDIT: Oh, it's $750 a month now up here. And the students have to submit an application with photo, so you can filter out the ugly girls if you so desire.

Have him tell you about the discipline in the ROK Military. There DIs would be serving life terms is they were US. Very good troops they will kick ass when called upon. I almost walked into a riot in Soul about 8 years ago some guy had locked himself in a Temple had was protesting something or other .The troops took care of him and his sidekicks with their long batons. It was a very fast and furious operation.
