I thought perhaps they had just studied my neighbourhood. Or a random subway, bus or Hof.

Soju's a hell of a drug.

Wow. After reading that I can only only say, A third world country in first world trappings. *sigh*

Mortality - Pneumoconiosis associated with tuberculosis (per capita)

Hmmm....You can contract tuberculosis from human spit. I have said this before but the apologists always jump all over it and say I hate Korea and that it is a cultural thing. What a load of sh*t. Spitting is bad manners and literally life threatening. Well done Korea.

Although, small price to pay for a delicious SARS innoculation.

"That irritates me" or "That's frustrating" or "I'm annoyed"

As when the average Korean adjoshi says: "When I see a male foreigner with a nice Korean girl, Jja-jeung-na!!!"

I would say #2 after Japan- Japan's way worse. Even the most innocent-looking kindergarten girl over there seems to be programmed with a must-grab-teacher's-t esticles-or-insert-fingers-into-rear-if-t esticles-are-not-an-option sort of command. Not even out of spite, which is the weirdest part.

Here's a Canadian statistic:

#1 Mortality - Specific personality disorders

That's hilarious.

And I'm Canadian.
