How about making a t-shirt for all oeguks.

"Yes, I have tried kimchi."
"No, kimchi isn't spicy."
"Sorry, I don't speak English."
"I don't like hamburgers."
" I know my Korean sucks."

or

"Canadians hate maple syrup."
"No, I'm not a Newfie."

How about:

"I'm hungry. Can you teach me to use chopsticks?"

Or:

"Wow! Four seasons! That's really unique."

I have eaten in many "foreign restaurants" [outback steakhouse, chillis, etc] both here and my home country with my students (of all ages)...

I was surprised when I saw them try to use a knife and fork to cut steak, or ribs....

many of the korean students couldn't hold the knife/fork properly and need help to cut their steaks/ribs or lessons in how to hold the knife/fork......

I guess they have trouble with a knife/fork and so presume we can't use choptsticks......

"Yes, I did eat lunch"

"No, its not the same-same"

"I survived Korea"

"I love Mr Kim"

"Take a photo, it lasts longer"

"Who the *beep* is Dokdo and who cares?"

"Beware of fans"

A few years ago I had a t-shirt printed up in Itaewon.

It read, 배 재 라 (spelling? lost the shirt) , which literally means 'Cut my stomach out' but figuratively means 'Do whatever you want to me, I don't care!'

Most Koreans thought it was funny, but there were also a number who were afraid that someone would literally try to cut my stomach out and warned me about not wearing it. LOL

Actually I was really shocked and....speechless to see an innocent, lovely looking Korean boy (maybe 15-16 years old) wearing plaid pants, polished shoes, a tidy haircut and a t-shirt saying:

"I can teach you how to F * * k"

Ah, yes, life is full of beautiful and hideous surprises, gotta smile^^
