I have noticed recently some Korean women have bruises on their faces, especially women who look like they probably have a husband and kids... I realised that this has to be some kind of mass physical abuse to women.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Have you notice how they are always, ALWAYS wearing shirts as if to cover up bruises on their back and chest? We're on to something.

but circular bruises on the back and/or chest come from the oriental medicine doctor's Candle Treatments.

Hell, my wife's got bruises on her stomach and it's not because I punch her. ( I doubt my hand is an inch or 2 in diameter) It's been because of either using one of those bumpy hula-hoops or acupuncture for losing weight.

Yes, the last statement is true, she has tried to use acupuncture to lose weight and it left some nasty bruises. My showing that I was shocked and saddened stopped that idea from continuing.

He's now back in Canada but a friend of mine, he's an old fart like me, went to a beach area near Asan. There were kids in the water and no boating signs posted.

A Korean guy and his buddies come screaming through the swimming area, darn near taking out a couple of kids an then leave the boat for a few moments at a tie-up.

Cowboy Kenny flips the engine cover up pulls the coil wire and heaves it into the surf. He then stood there and faced the idiots down / with more than one A pa or Oh ma standing behind him.

It takes big brass ones to that off

Really? It's summer? Geez, I was cold all day today, and I still have heat going in my apartment. Summer? Yeah, right. I've actually worn sweaters at the end of May here. Rolling Eyes
