| Since day one I liked soju and wanted to stay and all that... The reason I think I may have been here to long is this.. and this has happened more than once... I'll be hanging out with someone, usually my ex and I'll see some guy sitting accross the room and whisper into my ex's ear: " Is he a waygook, or do you think he's half- Korean or what?" My ex, who has been here a slightly shorter time than I have will immediately answer, in the biggest "you are a moron" type of tone, that the person is simply Korean. And of course, he's right, I just think I am becoming overly adapted to the faces here.. does that make any sense? i also find myself staring at foreigners.. I don't mean to, but apparantly I do.. especially non-caucasians. I think when I get back home I am going to suffer from serious sensory overload. |

......you spit in the ash tray overflowing with butts..BUT you hide to blow your nose in a tissue.
.....you shove a fellow westerner out of your way and don't even realize you've done it until 15 or 20 minutes later. |

LOL. It's when you blow your nose without benefit of Kleenex � that you've been here too long. |

If you have a Korean operating system and keyboard:
1) switch to hangeul input
2) depress the "a" key and "hanja" keys simultaneously
In the lower right corner of your screen, a number of symbols will appear, including the superscript trademark symbol. |

I just tried it, works with English o/s... you just have to have the Korean IME installed and (maybe a Korean keyboard) first switch to hangul then do what dogbert said

You know how to get to the Korean Embassy in Osaka, Fukuoka, Thailand, and Hong Kong without needing directions.
Heh. *beep* rhymes with "Tukuoka" in case some of you don't get it. - CM |

Sarah, where the hell do you work? That's crazy! (Or is it? Is this common in Korea?) That isn't a regular part of my day; I think I would snap if it was!! Stay strong!! |

1. You can get from A to B as fast as the pizza delivery boys.
2. You ask for kimchi if it isn't served with your meal.
3. You go back home and you can't stop greeting new people with a bow
4. You have an irresistable urge take off your shoes when entering houses.
5. You are pouring beer for a friend and you are a bit shocked and think they are rude because they did not hold the glass.
6. You spend your Saturday mornings hiking local mountains in gaudy colored treking clothes, drinking makoli and yahooing from the peak
