Was working out last weekend in the apt. gym and there were two kids in the weight room with their dad (ages 3 and 6, maybe?). They were talking ..and sometimes shouting (as kids do)... and that didn't phase me too much. But I had to call them on it when the boy way swinging on the lat pulldown and the little girl playing on the other machines.
I could not believe that the father didn't see the danger in all of that. |
I've noticed a lot of Korean parents seem to have a laissez-faire attitude toward the safety of their children. I'm often surprised that there aren't more accidents involving children. |

There are a lot of accidents involving children in Korea, on the streets especially (in the car w/o a seatbelt, or jay-walking in front of cars moving too fast). |

| I highly doubt a Korean gym would be worse than a gym full of young wogs. Every gym I go to in Australia gets taken over by some group of wogs either Lebanese or Bosnian. It becomes their local hangout where they shout in their native language walk round like kings and stare you down if you decide to go near weight machines. They just take up the whole weights section for 3 hours tensing and cursing loud and all junked up on steroids looking like they are actually dealing at the gym rather than working out. Any gym which doesn�t have 50 wogs who know each other is a gym worth going to. This is the top reason I choose to use my smaller apartment gym. From what you guys have said Korean gyms don�t sound that bad. |
Wow. What a horrible racist thing to say. You aren't in Aussie now, mate.
Do you call black people nig#@s too? |

A Korean mom's tight embrace is more constraining than any seatbelt known to mankind. |
