I love those! Very Happy

I forgot "How about Korea!"

And "Crazy"

How about this little pet peeve of mine.

Me: So, you don't like Pizza?
Them: Yes.

......huh!?!?!? Shocked

Yes you don't like Pizza or Yes you do like pizza?!??!

i find that people ask me "are you okay" here a lot?

"ada-yoo okee?"

i've adopted it and it tends to annoy the hell out of my friends.

"welcome to Korea" was a world cup thing, I think.

According to the Grade 3 curriculum its "Hi, hello, my name is Zeeto." (Zeeto is the alien/ comic relief in the textbook)

You actually hear the phrase "Excuse me"?!

I usually only get elbowed in the side and launched outta the way!

Korean: where are you from?
Me: Australia.
Korean: ohhhh kangaroo!
followed by uncomfortable silence.

a few seconds later...
Korean: Korea good?
another uncomfortable silence!

They love using "so-so"

So many times on MSN, I'd be talking to some buddies who like to practise english. I humour them. Who's the idiot? :)

"Hey there. How are you?"
"So so"
"#!%!%!%"

They don't seem to be able to break that habit. I'm reminded of Prometheus' punishment.

jae.
