I would dress like a hoochie and would be ultra liberal. This I heard from my co-worker. She said that is their stereotype of us. I had to hold back. Apparently, they think we all dress like whores and are swinging from chandeliers. I just told her that yes, American style is different. Sometimes, women show some cleavage which I don't think is proper for the workplace. But then again, we wouldn't wear micro minis with high heels and thigh highs in public like Korean girls do because that's considered improper even in public. She was just silenced.  |

Well, all the Americans I have met have done that... eventually. |

Hey, what we do at work versus after work is a different matter. My point is they thought I would come to work dressed that way and acting that way and lacked common sense. |

LOL. I guess if I was Korean and never ventured outside of the place, I'd be a bit closed-minded too. They'd be amazed how a little exposure to multi-culturism could change the way they look at the world. |

Cleavage is never inappropriate.
My friend went on a German homestay and the host family was afraid to offer her ketchup, because it's a stereotype that Americans put ketchup on everything.
Also, I am ultra-liberal. Sorry Koreans! |

OP, they may have been disappointed because maybe they wanted a super ho. It does happen.
Seriously. |

I regularly got drunk with my principal and teachers at my old school. Taking poktanju shots and going nuts to Rage Against The Machine was usually encouraged. I also met a hot MILF that was friends with my principal. I ended up grinding with in the noraebang and she kissed me in the taxi.
Conservative at work and wild at night. If there were lights, we'd be swinging from them. |
