Do you think they're watching us? Recording us?

If so, where would they hide the camera?

I'm feeling a little bit paranoid.

Anyone watching my apartment will be profoundly bored.

They are. You'll NEVER find them either.

If there's one in my apartment it's likely covered with a stray article of clothing or empty orange juice bottle by now.

I think after watching you last night on cable, it brings to mind the question, "which hand do you use to wipe?"

The left hand wiping thing is interesting. I had a drunk Korean ask me, jokingly, which hand is 'bad' in the west, I said I didnt understand, and he made a motion and said 'you know, to . . .wipe.'

Then I informed him that its neither hand. No one in the west wipes. Ever.

The toilet paper is on the eating table, which is why little kids piss and shit in the dining area.

While you're sorta a celebrity in your local town, people really are not interested in you, just your English. No, it's highly unlikely you have cameras and microphones planted, but do mind your neighbors with your noise as it's not customery to jam out at home. You go to PC bang, movie theater, or night club to make some noise. With me being the lone foreigner, I like to jam out with the IPOD on the speakers, but the neighbors start stomping on thier floor above me when I do. Even a laptop computer can be too loud. It's possible that the camera in your laptop is hacked into so someone can see you that way, but they're not going to see much if someone is viewing through it. It's all good when neighbors are gone on weekends.

I have a big, and I mean big window the size of a shoebox apartment with no drapes that lets anyone see into living room and kitchen, but have privacy in my bedroom. I have to make sure I got clothes on when I make coffee in the morning as people are walking by and looking in. I'm just too cheap to get some drapes custom made for this huge front wall sized glass sliding doors set of windows. I don't have parties to be seen as I don't have anyone locally to invite over so there's nothing to be seen, but me doing everyday things.

The thought has crossed my mind that a camera can see in from across the way, but they wouldn't see much as I keep the place clean and tidy.

Make that a double, please. Oh no, wait, I change my mind. Make it a single, please.

One of the all time classic threads on ESLcafe was about a teacher from Jungye SLP being filmed in his apartment smoking dope. So he was blackmailed and fired. Sadly, this is no urban legend.

If I were female, I'd check every little nook and cranny in a school-sponsored apartment. Just imagine your oily little boss watching you. And pleasuring himself.

On the other hand, as a man (read: Spartan God) I enjoy walking around naked, shaking my ass, scratching myself down there, and doing pelvic thrusts for no real reason. Film away, bitches.
