Gabby Johnson is right, that's an awful lot of Won for some Pyong...or is Pyong something totally different from what I'm thinking? Just kidding. You guys are suckers though. The Army sent me to Baghdad and they picked up the cost for the flight! They gave me some new gear for free! I was given half of a small trailer to live in that can't be any less than 2 Pyong..you talk about a palace! Then these fools pay me extra money for being over here. The only thing they asked for in return was that I work 13 hour days, take one day off a month, and take my chances with incoming rockets, mortars, and gunfire...and any possible IEDs I may encounter on any patrols I go out on! Now that is a sweet deal. I can't believe more people don't leave their families behind for a crack at this fun. Well I'm off to buy a fan in preparation for the inevitible summer heat. They say it is just like the Bahamas here during the summer. Then I've got to get some of their awesome cuisine that is almost as good as chicken on a stick from Itaewon...delicious! Take care John...Rob! Holy cow! Gabby Johnson is right, that’s an awful lot of Won for some Pyong…or is Pyong something totally different from what I’m thinking? Just kidding.

I think this place is 46 pyong. Rent actually went up the previous lease, coincidentally in the exact amount of the LQA increase. Go figure.
