Aren't you cold is one I get too.

For people I just met, usually how long I've been in Korea.

For ajummas, whether I am a girl or a guy. Hahaha! I have short hair.

For the children "Do you like Kimchi?" is first. I would say the second is "Do you like Korean food?" The third is "Where do you live?", or "Are you cold?". I did get asked several times by the same student what my phone number was.

"Do you like Korea?"
This of course is asked in Korean-- at least the info that I've lived here a long time and speak Korean has already been communicated.

I always answer them some variation of "what do you think, knowing I lived here --- years, do you think I'd stay here if I didn't like it?"

Can't tell you the most common, but I can tell you the strangest one.

"Why are you bald? I bet you get the skin cancer every summer." (Guy sees that I'm getting pissed off at his questions.) "Er, what is your hobby?" "Do you believe in Jesus?"

Okay, now when I think of it, the most common question is "Are you a Christian?"
