So many things where should we start?
How about
1.Toilet paper on dining tables
2.No toilet paper in the stalls
3.Freezing bathrooms
4.No hot water in bathrooms
5.Most places we eat at have no hot water to clean and sanitize dishes 
6.When meeting Koreans for the first time the barrage of personal questions
7.Corn and potato on combination pizzas (I always order a combo because it takes to long to explain the toppings I do want and if I do it ends up costing more)
8.Tomato flavored ice cream  (Baskin Robbins)
More to come gotta go eat...

#2 I won't miss the failure to realise that spit should stay in your mouth, not on the elevator floor or the PC Bang ash tray.

I've got to back up number 2. Young lads sitting next to me in PC Bangs spitting phlegm into a paper cup, singing along to dodgy K-Pop.
In fact, K-pop. |

| I won't miss a God Dang thing about korea except some of the great friends I have made both korean and non korean. The korean friends I have made have made life great for me in korea; however, you can take the korean from korea but you can't take the korean ways of doing stupid things from the korean. |

Hmm things you will probably miss and not realize it:
There is ALWAYS something to do. Seriously, especially in Seoul there is always something to do. When I go home on trips, I usually get bored.
I also like the fact I don't have to drive to goto a 7-11. That is one thing about Canada. I think from my parents it is 10-15min to the nearest convience store BY CAR.
I won't miss the traffic nightmares I have encountered. Worst was 5hrs on the expressway going across Seoul. |

Me too for traffic. My worse was 3 hours from the hannam tunnel to the other side of the bridge. All told maybe 3 kilometres |

Traffic is definately the worst. Especially when you have to take a leak real bad.
Subway rush hours. |
