Perhaps this 'hygenic' behavior (and I can hear the loogies being horked up outside my window as I write) might contribute to the fact that the average Korean lives seven years less than the average North American.

The same kid would probably call you dirty if you had a cold and blew your nose on a tissue. Dirty teacher! But a middle aged man picking his nose unabashedly in the midst of a crowded kamjatang restaurant is not a problem, as sneezing on others also isn't. I wish this discrepancy could be explained to me.


That's simple, Zed. By blowing your nose into a tissue, you are selfishly hiding your mucus and keeping others from sharing in your enjoyment of the mucus. For the production and expulsion of mucus is a public act meant to be relished and enjoyed by all.


you're a funny boy dogbert Laughing

it happens to me all the time...

as dirty as it is, I handle it. i have 22 classes of 35 kids for only 1 hour a week... there isn't time to work on manners..

on the side here... when i am counting papers to hand out, i usually lick my finger a little with my tongue to getsome grip.. 1/2 the class lets out a big 'oooooowww', dirty...

i get really angry i say 'lets all spit on our spoons and put them in the same bowl together and eat the food from that bowl'.. or i open the window and say ' look out here, thats dirty'.. or i walk over to the bin and cough up a big greenie and drop it into the bin with the other loogies (like 1/2 the class does) and say... 'now, thats dirty'.

they're in their little bubble world and who are we to burst it?


Your pretty funny yourself. I still remember your "waygook lesson day". Very Happy
