Korean Job Discussion Forums

[ed]

for those of you who don't know:


in Canada when we want to say f- you without speaking, we put up our middle finger.

in Korea the same thing is accomplished by putting your thumb between your first and second finger.

I had a cold classroom and therefore cold hands so I warmed them by putting my thumb between my first and second finger.

I couldn't figure out why some classes didn't like me until a Korean teacher cleared it up for me.........
