Better then the young guy I saw when I came out of the shower room last month. Standing there with an erection watching TV. Almost like he was trying to show off. Had his hands on his hips and everything.


Ah Eric Shin, he's a mate of mine!

Hey show it off. As you get older, unintended erections are harder to come by.

Korea + summer + myeong dong/apkujeong will solve that problem.

ps, Korea would be top shelf if there was courtesy here.


but there isn't, so it's not...

I don't understand the smoking after a shower or workout either. A cnut of neighbor would always be outside of his apartment next to my window smoking right after he would shower... "man I feel fresh, I guess I need to fix that!"


I went to Deagu and smelled smoke in the mall. It was the security guard smoking in the mall and when i asked the other guard to do something about it he just sat back and said it was ok. If I had been a smoker I would have been able to find out if it were truly ok right after that, but I am not.

Ten years ago you could see guys smoking while working out. We had a Prof at my uni who chain smoked while on the slalom machine (is that what that cross-country ski thing is called?)

I also remember Korean guys chain-smoking while playing tennis.

Back then teachers could still smoke in the classroom during a lecture. I never did that, but I did smoke in the hallway.


I might add that when i was a student, Canadian professors also smoked during class. My Poli-Sci Prof smoked a pipe.

There is no place where they probably wouldnt smoke. Can anyone think of one? Hmm airplanes because of the hefty fine or very real threat of imprisonment.

I was in a cafe yesterday, a small one with five tables, when a young guy at the table next to me lit up a cigarette. I pointed to the no smoking sign (in Korean plus a diagram of a cigarette with a line through it) and told him in stilted Korean that it's no smoking.

Nothing.

So I got the attention of the guy working there, pointing to the smoker and the sign.

Nothing.

I'm not going there ever again.

Laws, rules, and curtesy don't apply to them!

That reminds me of Egypt. On buses it says you can't smoke, but many people light up. However, I heard a bus driver say something to some passengers before. I haven't really seen Koreans smoking in the subways. I did see a Central Asian fellow do it, though. I think it's hit and miss in Korea with semi-compliance. I am sure it was much worse in the past. Remember, soldiers get a cigarette allowance from the government. It takes time to whip people into shape, and you have a very lenient government in Korea.

I probably wouldn't do this, but it should be done.

Walk up to the guy, smile, take his cigarette, take a drag on it. Then flick it in his face.

I'm not saying I have the balls to do that. But it *should* be done.

My friend's dad lit up in the airplane bathroom. No fine or jail time. He just got berated by everyone on board and the pilot went on intercom and said they would probally have to make an emergency landing. (They didn't)

He could bring up to management at the gym instead. If they refuse to do anything about it, he should then quit.
