Found this on an EPIK facebook group, thought it was funny so I decided to share it. It might make more sense if you live in Korea, but if you've read my stories you will get most of it:
In Korea...things that just don't seem strange anymore...
- Pedestrians share the sidewalk with automobiles and motorcycles...
- Restrooms don't have tiolet paper or paper towels...
- Every child you pass on the street will say 'hello' to you...
- Children love arm hair...
- Every city bus will have at least 2 teenage boys sitting in each other's laps and playing with each other's hair...
- People think you should board the train first before allowing people to get off...
- You leave the house almost every day with the hem of your pants soaking wet...
- Cell phones are meant to always be turned on...
- People love to know your blood type...
- Kids and non-smokers are invincible to second-hand smoke...
- You are at risk of being hit by a car the second you walk out of your apartment...
- There are more oscillating-fan-related deaths than shootings...
- Other foreigners fascinate you...
- People think that it is really nice to meet you once again for the 300th time...
- Most laws are merely suggestions...
- All food is "delicious" with no exceptions...
- You never shut your bathroom door for fear of drowning...
- You only hear Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga's names twice a week now...
- The school bell makes you crave ice cream...
- The apocalypse has not arrived... it's just some guy selling fish...
- The smell of kimchi, garlic and soju is an aphrodisiac...
- You need to start making a schedule of your laundry waiting period...
- Fish and rice belong at any breakfast table...
- You can't find pornography anywhere but there's at least 5 brothels in every small town...
- There are only 2 languages ever spoken - Korean and English...
- Little kids traveling alone on public transit is nothing to be concerned about...
- Loud construction workers are Korea's answer to the alarm clock...
- Any decent men's tie should sparkle...
- Everyone, including 7 year olds, has a nicer cell phone than you...
- Even if you are fast asleep on the subway or city bus, you won't miss your stop...
- At least once a week you crawl across your apartment floor to get something you forgot after putting your shoes on...
I've witnessed over half of these things! LOL, gotta love dynamic Korea!
XOXO,
Amanda
