Not a Korean bashing thread, or things you hate about Korea/Koreans.
What little things annoy you in your day-to-day life, that probably would not bother you in your life back home, but make complete sense living here in Korea? The kind of things you have to explain 10 times to your friends back home, but they still don't get it.
Examples:
Not noticing that you pressed the button that turned the ondol(heated floors) on, in the middle of summer, thereby turning your apartment into a 100 degree Celsius jjimjilbang.
Hanging your clothes out to dry, but it's rainy season, so it's going to take about a week.
Not being able to use those 10 and 50 won coins because everything is rounded up to the nearest 100. They always just sit at the bottom of your pockets/purses. |
