There's always something to smile about, even if it's more of a Grinch- esque grin as you plot the downfall of your current school. .  |
I agree.
Life itself should make a person happy as well.
Kristsoy, in the classroom a smile is a big help. Children and adults respond better to a smiling teacher. Do you teach? |

More than likely yes. |

Walking around yesterday I was smiling. It was a beautiful warm sunny day, I was on my way to meet the love of my life, I had some great tunes playing on my MP3 player and the expectation of a delicious curry and a few beers later in the day.
Stop being so grumpy folks enjoy the simple pleasures of life.
In the winter I'm a bit of a grumpt ba5tard to be honest, but now Spring is here I'm happy and smiling a lot. |

| The stoic expressions are likely due to koreans being taught to hold in emotions at a young age. I'm guessing anyway. |

| Americans and Canadians smile more than people from anyone else. So I heard. I think it's just a cultural thing. Could be that you have more to smile about than other people, I suppose. That photo of Koreans looks normal to me, but then people in London can be a miserable bunch of bastards too. |

| Some of the Koreans in that photo look like Jews walking out of "Shindler's List." |

Oh yeah... That's the truth. Go and sit on the tube for a while. Looks like everyone is about to top themselves. |

| Being a cheshire cat has its downside here. You may feel better, but that added aura of approachability will result in many extra hellos and attention from koreans- they'll finally feel free to approach their new best friend all of a sudden- often with the plan of some free english lessons. |

That is very true. A smile and nod go a long way here, certainly helping make the day a more pleasurable one. Like you, I don't seem to have any problems with Koreans here as I smile all the time. |
