Wow. After reading this thread I've come to remember all the things about Korea(ns) I seem to have forgotten about since my departure in late 2000. I guess little has changed in the last 6 years. Anyway, I laughed and laughed while reading this. I especially liked the post about the Brussels business trip. Koreans seeming inability to try non-Korean cuisine whilst travelling always irritated me. Having lived in Brussels for 4 months, I can attest to the awesome food and beer available there. I wonder what the hotel staff thought about the aroma of kimchi permeating the place. lmao Don't get me wrong--I love kimchi, but not in Brussels.

Allow me to add a few of my own:

You know you're Korean if...

You cannot speak English without saying the word "maybe" before every sentence. Ex. Maybe my wife is very beautiful.

You feel that stopping at stop signs and red lights is optional.

You think all non-Korean women are sluts.

Whenever you meet a foreigner and learn in what city/village they are living , you feel compelled to tell them what that city/village is famous for. Ex. Oh, do you know Naju is very famous for pears?

It doesn't occur to you that drinking all kinds of special soju probably just makes you think you are more virile, while in fact it makes you less--being that it is alcohol.

You think that showing up to your university classes with nothing but a cell phone is being prepared.

You don't think there's anything strange about people driving around your apartment parking lot in little blue trucks at 6am screaming at you through a loudspeaker to come and get your bag of onions for only W10,000.

when you barbeque bacon, place it in a leaf with a pepper, and call it a meal.
