Korea...so you think you're broadminded?...how accepting are you really of things different to what you deem normal?...take the 'Korea' test and you'll soon know for sure.

This sounds funny for some reason, like what my old aunt would say if she saw me smoking dope. |

Hmm...not off the top of my head. No, I haven't. And the clumps of hair on the floor were nasty.

You should see them spotting one another.  |

I had to stop workign out.
i must admit, the first time I was on the treadmill and smelled cigarett smoke I almost had a fit. (In a condecending tone->) We never do that in America!
At any rate, what really pushed me out, the music was so aweful. There was this horrible 80's rap song they played again and again. Arrrrggg! |

| I find I really enjoy the pretend exercises they do. It's kind of what I imagine archaeologists do when they find some 10,000 year old tool they have no clue what to do with and experimenting with how to use it, til they get some motion that seems right. |

Its not match for the shaving story, but I showed up to the gym the other day, and for the first and only time, they had the air conditioning on. Of course, every window in the place was open. I went around, closed all of the windows, and shortly after, as the temp was rising outside, the guy minding the place went and turned off the A.C.
I go to the gym on campus, and I usually can't use the mat because it is usually being used as a communal bed by all of the girls in the physical education class (which seems to be a pajama party for them). For the last five minutes of class, a fat, out of shape instructor calls them all to order and teaches them weight lifter poses.  |

Wow you never know what you're gonna get with a question like that do you?
The pubes takes the cake though....
And I also hear you about the music. Today I had the enjoyment of listening to NSYNC's first cd....every song.
The other thing that kills me are those machines that shake your muscles...like from 1952....there is a constant line-up of women waiting to have their body rattled/shaked and rolled....
Not to mention Merv the Perv who is casually glancing at his Korean post with two eye holes cut out of it....I CAN SEE YOU PEEKING! ARGH!  |

I've seen in some parks these weird little lazy susan like disks. People stand on it and then spin. But not 360 degrees. They spin a bit right. And then they spin a bit left. They really go to town on it, like it's a big work out. |

Those feel good. I'm not sure it's good for your back, but it does feel good. Did I mention it feels good? It won't get fat women thin though. |

The 50's mentality is what I see most over here. But not to stay off topic...

Are you serious? Some guy went to the trouble of doing this?
I also find it funny watching Koreans do reps. No slow concentric or eccentric contractions to properly stimulate the muscles. Just whipping around those weights as quickly as possible. It's like someone built a gym and people started showing up and started figuring out what to do on their own. 'I want to hurry-up lose weight. No time to lose. I want to hurry-up make muscle. No time to lose.', not unlike, 'I want to crazy hurry-up study english well. No time to lose.' etc, etc, etc. |

In every gym I've ever gone to in Korea, they always have big mirrors in the changeroom and after a shower, the men will all come into the common area and have long conversations in the buff as if they were in a normal public place. Then they pick up on of the communal, gym provided, combs and proceed to blow dry and comb their genitals in front of the big mirrors, being sure to raise their legs on a bench so that everyone may see what they are doing. Once they finish doing that, they literally slap on some moisturiser and put on their clothes.
I have always thought this to be pretty strange. |

Amen. When I'm around naked dudes, I tend to keep my eyes to something indescript, like a wall or something. |
