I'm eating in the food court next to Carrefour in Bundang, and the lady at the table next to me starts changing the baby's diaper -- in the middle of lunch, and on the dinner table. Nothing like looking at a poopy diaper and ass when you're enjoying your fried donk-ass-uh. I lost my appetite.

Another fun one are the ajummas who whip out an empty plastic bottle so their kid can pee in it in the store. Rolling Eyes

I think it's because Korean culture is more advanced- they've realized that when it comes to kids you just have to dispense with the niceties. I'm sure this progressive attitude will make its way to the rest of the globe in due time.

Next question please.

He became disillusioned with us all again. He'll be back when he gets some more illusion. It's a cycle.

And I suppose that ajoshis peeing at the side of the road are also indications of a more "advanced" culture? Rolling Eyes

1. spitting indoors
2. smoking and eating at the same time
3. chewing loudly with their mouths open

Advanced culturally...yeah...that's the ticket!

Mandatory knives in school!
I've never understood why each of my little tykes is armed with a utility knife, which he/she uses to whittle away at desks or slice up erasers. I've only ever seen them accomplish one semi-useful task: they can be an acceptable substitute for scissors.

So why not get the kids to bring scissors?
