Using tampons, not pads.
(let me point out one time when i still taught public middle school, one hot day I had a class where the girls reeked of menstrual blood... you know how women will (spending a lot of time together) get their periods all at the same time? that class, that day, was HELL). |

Ick. Gotta disagree. Pads are far worse for that kind of stink, plus it's all out there. Far easier to plug a hole. |

Why be bothered by either? Are you next to the dumper? Who cares what he does? Doesn't smoke smell better than crap? |
I'm getting off track on my own thread, but I'd rather smell the worst crap in the world than cigarette smoke. I have asthma and have had to not use the toilet or try to hold my breath if it's not too bad because of smokers in toilets. I think at the very least toilets should have smoke alarms that go off if anyone lights up in them.

Of course I use tampons, pads are disgusting. That's what I was trying to say... pads STINK. But many Korean women have (over the years) asked me for a pad and been shocked that all I have is tampons. |

If you get freakish reactions from Koreans when you explain you use tampons, it's nothing compared to the freakish reactions from all women when you tell them you use a cup! And I'll never use pads or tampons again!
Has anyone every shaved/maintained their body hair in a mokkyotang? |

OMG!!! Poor Cedar!!! I hope you opened all the windows and sent the girls on a long bathroom break. I would've gotten sick~ ewwww!
* People think it's weird that I take the stairs (I've seen people take the elevator up 1 floor, and I don't get that. If you have groceries or a small child or something, I can understand why you wouldn't take the stairs).
* I think people think it's weird that we walk up or down escalators.
* Koreans think it's weird when we nickel and dime stuff. My co-worker is really anal about our dept.'s monthly collection. It's maybe 7000 won/month, and he makes more than the Korean guys his age. He also doesn't have any kids to support, so he looks really bad to our co-workers when he complains about the monthly collection...
*We don't wash our feet when we come home from being out all day.
*We don't share our food (if I want to eat a snack at my desk in the afternoon, I better have enough cookies to pass around to everyone, or I'm stingy...) |

I'm left-handed and a number of my students are too. This has never come up as something unusual, for me anyway. |

Really? I just started at a new place recently and they're still doing it, although maybe not as much as in the past. Whenever I put my name up on the board, I almost always hear, "Oh, wren son ja bi" to which I reply, "Yes, I'm left-handed. How about you?" |

So that's what that smell was. Thanks for the enlightenment.  |
