A new game the whole family can play....
When you spend your time looking forward to the weekend so that you look yourself away in a korean-free enviroment for at least 48 hours.
Not only can you get the coveted 'adjuma seat' on the subways but there's a trail of little old ladies on the ground behind you. |

....you have been ddongchimmed 3 times in as many weeks in the school cafeteria and rather than punish the various culprits you simply smile menacingly, give a Boba Fett nod of approval, and put a HIT/BOUNTY out on the kids responsible with the bigger kids....
...you begin to hork freely yet with purpose on your walk to school - my aim is getting better....I hit almost every tree trunk today!
...you ignore all forms of rational order....my new favorites are to cut to the front of lines, and simply ignore those ahead of me when buying at the local supah/store...and, walk and not move as if no one is coming toward me / stop walking for no apparent reason for some 'I am all that exists' time...
...ahhhhh  |

Hey I do that all the time! Living in a tourist town & all ..
Just the other day I was strolling to the cornerstore, a car pulls up & the woman rolls down the window: Ajosshi! Blahblah Villa oediyeyo? I happened to know & gave her directions in my poor korean. She thanked me & drove off. Not a hint in her manner that she was talking to a nonKorean.
I like that kind of exchange. |
