What is it with the little twAts and getting all excited at the sight of sweaty pits? Even the slightest sign of damp and they are all excited.

Koreans don't sweat. I've seen guys in full suits in 90 degree weather and not a drop of sweat.

Sweat at the gym.

They only sweat the gym if all the windows are closed and they've been running for ages on the tread mill. I however have increased my weight by about 10 stone.

I walked up the mountain with my co-teachers. They kept complaining how hot it was, if lucky, I would see a bead of sweat on their foreheads. I however am on my third t-shirt. Still waiting for my blood to thin. Am starting to get a sweat patch creeping down from the top of my shorts.

I always think that sweat is linked with releasing toxins from the body, and you're kinda paying for your sins. I must have been some bad boy! Maybe I'm still paying for Uni, that was 9 years ago.

Kids come into class after lunch dripping with sweat from playing basketball.

Annoying little twits that they are.

At least they have got over my neck hair that pokes out of my shirt

I wear brushed cotton shirts in summer because the sweat doesn't show. I envy all the people who can wear 'business' shirts in summer.

Koreans (Asians in general) have less sweat glands then Caucasians.

If you are really worried about it, there is a product that can close up your sweat glands for a couple of weeks. But it does create some irritation if you apply it on wet skin.

It works wonders for me during those hot summer days, not to mention the overheated rooms in winter when you are wearing a sweater.

My coworker was on vacation, so instead of 12 or so students in a class, I had to teach combined classes. Ugh, 24 students in a small room. I ended up sweating a lot. One kid noticed that I had sweaty armpits, and the kids started to laugh. I said, "What, what about you?" They lifted their arms, and they had nothing, so I started to laugh at them. "That's strange," I said. One kid said, "But Eric teacher doesn't sweat." So I responded, "Yeah, but he's Canadian. I'm American." I have no idea what I meant by that, but it got them distracted and confused.

I have the weirdest sweat glands I know. If it's summer, say anything between 20-30c, I don't sweat much at all. Obviously, I will sweat a LOT when zooming around a mile a minute. But when winter arrives, and I have to dress warmer - I end up sweating more even from just simple activity. It's alright when I'm outside, but when I go inside to a warm building suddenly my back is covered in sweat. Luckily it doesn't smell, seems only under the arms I get that a little bit. It seems I sweat more in colder months than the warmer ones...

Whew! That's all?

When I read the title of this post, I thought that immigration had come up with another reason to deny an E-2 visa.
