The Golden Rule:
When in Korea, do NOT do as the Koreans do!
Don't excrete body fluids on the streets. That's a right solely reserved for Koreans.
Don't drive aggressively and park anywhere you feel like it. Only Koreans are allowed to do that.
Don't drink too much and become overly emotional, noisy, rude or violent. Koreans are given special allowances for this because they have "Han".
Don't make too much noise in your apartment or have a lively house party. You will most definitely be annoying your neighbors who are engaged in their own noisy house party or beating their wives and kids. They are allowed to do this because they suffer from "han".
Do not engage in promiscuous sexual activities, go to hookers, date around, two-time/three-time, etc. Koreans are allowed to do this as much as they want as long as they don't talk about it and pretend as if it doesn't happen.
The list could go on forever! |
I would say that is just about as good of an explanation of the ridiculousness of Korea as you'll ever see. |

Good list, but, nah, do whatever the hell you want, and then be a hypocrite about it, saying how terrible such behavior is. |

I think the old guys problem is that you were so crap at it. His look, that you mistook for discombobulation, was in fact one of concentration, as he was attempting to work out how he was going to be able to show you the correct technique.

No, but it would be more relevant than yours. |

There is nothing, nothing, half so much worth doing as watching some assmunch chud rustling up his e-courage and getting his rocks off right here on the forum.
And RT - you violated the inside/outside scandal. I think it's ok if you share the han, but we don't. You might as well have pulled a Tour de France piss...man, the Yangjae riverside trail rules... |

Careful, kimchi story. I messed with confuzed and I regretted it. You don't want to earn his wrath.
Not sure I understand this inside/outside scandal. To be honest, when I did the bicycle blow I thought nobody was watching.
PS) confuzed, Yangjae is a pretty big place and I'm not the only foreigner. Perhaps I'd better narrow it down to you. By the way, what city are you from? |

My question is actually rhetorical. You need not have answered. Anyhow, seems like you are having fun effectively talking to yourself.

Narrow it down? Man...your picture is all over your blog. Not sure anyone doesn't know who you are, what you look like and where to find you.
The joys of living publicly. |

I wrote this kind of as a parody of other posts on here. Someone takes a single incident and uses it to paint a picture of all Koreans, with hilarious results.

Oh no, now confuzed will be able to find my picture for sure. Should I show him my other site, so he knows what my cats look like so he can beat them up too? |
