More random thoughts and observations.....

Why do the traffic lights on the 6 lane road I have to cross on the way to work, never work in the mornings.

There seems to be a competition as to who can have the smallest pencil case. Mine is big enough to carry a small Chihuahua and amazes the kids.

Women tend to find the shortest shorts they can and wear high heels to go hiking in. You can have the shortest shorts ever but you must wear a baggy top with them. Shoulders must be covered.

There are at least 3 Lotte Mart shop assistants in every isle, ready to help you - whether you want it or not.

Some Koreans do not say excuse me. They either wait 20 minutes for you to figure out they are there. Or completely shove past you.

Rock scissors, paper stone, sorts out every small child's arguments. They completely abide by the outcome.

Some Koreans like you to see what they are eating, after they have chewed it for a few minutes. They talk with their mouth open all the time.

The majority of Korean construction is baddd - including my leaking window, handles falling off the door at work, the floor flooding and bad ventilation, so the tables grow mould!

When Koreans gets a snotty luggie in their throat, they just hack it up and if you are like my co-worker spit it in the bin next to my desk.

If you have a sofa delivered or something equally big, it is delivered through your window, on a lift that whizzes it up the outside of the building. This is pretty impressive when it is on the 15th floor.

People - especially women smoke in bathrooms. Including my neighbour, so it drifts through the air vents into my bathroom.

Bathroom stalls have mirrors in them. Like - on the back of the door so you can do your make up and pee at the same time! Or at Thursday Party, the mirrors are that bug you can watch yourself pee... just what you have always wanted!



***Dislaimer - Please note these are my observations and do not apply to every single Korean - just the majority!!!!
