Turn off the ondol and save energy by only leaving the fridge on when going out.
Date nice-looking girls with decent dating histories - I'm not that particular and kinda chubby but what I date here is much better than home.
Taking a spit bath - Had a shower last night but simply took a Korean style shower this morning with a bowl simply washing my hair.
More to come... |

Allow another male to hold my hand in a noraebong and try to dance with me. In fact, they often directly hold your hand - I was escorted - hand-in-hand - by a waiter to a table at a "nightclub" last weekend.
It still feels strange, but I don't get offended by it as it's just their culture and it's harmless. But if it happened in England... |

Yeah, the gf and I take a lot of joy tossing shoulders into the jackasses not paying attention when walking, or the people standing directly in the middle of the door when the subway car stops. I love squaring off the shoulders, lowering my center of gravity just a tad, then plowing through whatever inconsiderate simps think they're going to shove me aside to get on the subway car. |
