Could someone translate for me (in hangul): "Do not spit in the elevator". I need to make a sign for my building.
I'm sure I'm not the only person who could use this service.

침을 뱉지마세요
While you're at it might be a good idea to add one that reads "please do you urinate". Seen this many times on the walls outside the elevator on the first floor.
소변을 보지마세요

| A drawing of someone spitting in an elevator inside a circle with a line diagonally through it would also probably get your point across. |

| damn mike...I remember reading your posts not too long ago talking about how gung-ho you were about world-traveling and handing Korea its collective ass. I don't know man...if this spitting stuff shakes you up...you might not go the distance. Walk it off big guy. |

| From the handwriting it is going to be obvious that the foreigner wrote this. Do you really want to alienate everyone in your building? |

I still like it here, and I'm still happy to be here, but the spitting is something I could live without. I never said Korea was the greatest, but it's not horrible either.
Is it all or nothing with you people? |
