the arms of a lot of my students, usually their left arm. Does this have any significance?
Has anyone else noticed this? |

| In like a grid patten? Those creep me out. Make them look vat-grown or something. |

| Most Koreans have it, it's a big combi vaccine they get when they're babies. |

My students, age 7-8 were telling me it's from a 'peach flower'. I guess they rub it on the fingernails or something. I asked, 'why?' They answered, 'because it's beautiful.' These are boys. |

LOL that's so true.
The red fingertips and the flower juice to make them red. I think it's the yellow blossoming flowering shrub in the spring. Kids out in the country did it.
In the country, one youth brought in his stag beetle wild caught pet (not the Emart pet dept ones). Saw one myself out hiking near an Oak (can tell by the leaves and the acorns) just where it's supposed to be, by Oak.
Feet away from it was a HUGE (biggest I've seen anywhere) ORANGE bummed wasp. Huge, really. Trying not to exaggerate I'd say 2-2.5". This was in the mounthill woods, in Autumn (late Oct), and the wasp was slowing down, on the ground looking fit for seasonal nap, huge orange butt pulsating. Anyone seen this huge, awesome wasp in Korea? |

| I think the kids now have those 9 dot grid vaccines. The adults all have that scar on their left shoulder, which I think is also a vaccine. I don't think they give that scarring one to the kids anymore though. |

We used to get the BCG, a vaccine against TB in the UK. Most Brits have a similar scar on their upper arm - I remember it being a massive needle and it hurting a lot.
Prior to getting the BCG, we had to have a "heaf test", which checked if we had already been exposed to TB. I think the heaf test was only 6 needles in a circle, though. It also left a small scar, which disappeared in time as we grew up. |

The "red/orange" fingers is an extract that is put on the childs finger to keep the "ghosts away from the child" at night - whilst the child is sleeping.
Example - If a child is wetting the bed or having nightmares at night the parents will do it to the child to keep those naughty spirits away at night. |

Interesting. Is it only in the summer? I've only seen it in the past few months. I didn't notice last summer, my first year here. |
