Picking my nose and wiping it under the table at the PC room.

Eating everything with lettuce leaves and bean paste. Can't get enough of that stuff. I cook any kind of meat at home and wrap it up and yum!
I think my girlfriend is getting sick of seeing me with a big old bush of green hanging out of my lips.

Also with driving I have go into the very very bad habit of driving without a helmet, in shorts and sometimes in sandals.

oh yeah I pick my nose too

[hojucandy]

bowing to people - of course - but i did that in india too...

using toothpicks.... my sweetheart says i look like a korean when i stand around outside the restaurant where we have just eaten, picking remnants from between my gappy teeth!

I step into my shoes without bothering to put them on properly and shuffle around with the ends folded down. I used to HATE it when my husband did that.

[kangnamdragon]

oh...........so many

I bow
swear in Korean
prefer chopsticks
use "rotion"
stare at foreigners
listen carefully when I hear English
drink more
spend more money

[katydid]

I certainly drink more here than I ever did back home.

[just because]

I chew a lot more gum.

Also, the bowing gets me.
I was at the 7-11 in Australia last Feb and bowed at the attendant when i bought a coke. Should have seen the look on his(and my) face

[hojucandy]

i don't drink more... i drank WAY more in PNG... it was the culture there... beer, beer , beer.... better beer than here too.

[desultude]

I bow, eat with chop sticks, spend too much time on the internet, and cannot bring myself to handle money with my left hand. I always have tissues with me, as well as moist towels wrapped in plastic. I can't wear shoes inside the house when I'm in the States, it seems barbarian.

I still finger-flick the hot ash of my cigarettes when I finish them. Saw it first in '98 and got hyeung to teach me. It's vaguely fun, but sometimes the hot ash disappears like Ben Stiller's sprog in Something About Mary. WTF did it go?

Then you 'discover' it on your skin burnt through the sock. ow

I feel stupid when that happens.

Living in Korea has altered my eye contact patterns. I always considered it normal in Canada if eyes met to lock in for a few seconds & establish friendly contact. Last time I was back there I found after the initial glance I'd automatically look down or away. Suitable here but made me feel like I might look shifty there.

smoke and use the ashtrays while using urinals. also, putting water and a napkin in my ashtrays at home.

[Pyongshin Sangja]

Knowing where Korea is. I never used to know that before.

[HardyandTiny]

Don't warm up my car's engine before driving off.

While driving, I stop at every cross walk and creep past very slowly especially if my view is in anyway altered.

If I could speak Korean then I would have a big pow-wow with all the tikes and tights about kids running foot races in the parking lot, but I guess it wouldn't do much.
I sometime spend entire 13 flight elevator rides asking Korean gentlemen "anyong ha say yo"? Grown men with no sense of culture and when spoken "gay she gay" suddenly reacting as if the Lord himself has shit diamonds.
What is this?
