Multitasking means one person doing many things.
What you described is two people doing (or failing to do) one thing.
Can Koreans fracti-task? |

| I don't know if Koreans can multi-task but visitors to Korea are adept at generalizing about the entire population based on experiences with just a few. I've done the same thing before so I understand the urge but I think Koreans are at least as complicated and contradictory as we are. |

Ajummas can walk and chew gum at the same time. Plus make that horrible cracking noise. *Ugh* I suppose that's a form of multitasking.  |

Now the OP has to ask if Koreans can multi-task. Lemme see if I can multi-task. Hmm, I'm listening to music, talking to someone on MSN, drinking juice and writing this right now. Is this multi-tasking? Ah, I don't feel very good when I tackle the obvious when the OP's not so evil and just wants to vent out though, haha. |

How are you drinking juice and typing at the same time? Are you wearing one of these:
or, perhaps, involving your Korean voodoo? |

Good finding! What about just using a loooooong straw or using only one hand for typing~ Not so fun? Oh, I can even eat noodles at the same time, too. What can I not do?!  |

Thanks. Again I don't mean to talk down to the OP because I've done the same thing plenty of times. |
