One thing per post per day please.
Today: How strangers knock then just walk in, not waiting for an answer or an invite, into my apartment. The first time it happened I hollered and nearly attacked the guy. Has happened plenty of times over the years here. (Never once back home) Today I just said "Hey!" and he retreated, turned out was the mailman stopping at the wrong door. |

| I weigh 220 pounds, so many Korean people take pleasure in telling me I should lose weight. I find that kind of rudeness to be pretty annoying. |

That's easy.
I hate being treated like a freak because I'm bald. I hate it when I'm out, and people make rude comments. It happens more when I'm in smaller cities, but it still happens in Seoul, nevertheless.
Yes, I've b!tched about this before, so excuse me. |

I'm from a Canadian city with a colourful but short Autumn. I love the Korean Autumn and was really suprised when a Korean guy who lived in New England said just the same thing.
me, I don't like the winter and I hate it when Koreans tell me they have four seasons cause winter here just doesn't cut it...Where the hell is the snow?
I need more snow in Korea. I want to see 3 feet by tomorrow and 6 feet by January. Cover those wonderful little mountains in white fluff so I can hike up then slide down on whatever flat, sliding device I may have.
All perspective when it come to weather. I bet the folks from Egypt hate the lack of extreme dry heat and sand.... |

| The lack of stability. On the one hand I love it, on the other I hate it. Some days it's great, some days it kicks you in the ass. |
