Now that summer seems to have finally come (can't believe it took so long) I am faced with the great dilemma: undershirt or no undershirt.

Wearing one will make me a bit warmer, but I find having the undershirt on gives me a nice layer of absorbtion thus hiding the high volume of sweat I produce

Toughie.

Are you wearing one of those crepe paper-like transparent Adjosshi summer shirts?

You'd need something to soak up a bit of sweat and hide your nipples.

[Newbie]

Hmmmm, yes. Hiding the nips. Another important factor!

Koreans find body hair uproariously funny.

I usually wear a collared shirt so as to save the back of my neck from the sun.It leaves a puff of hair at the front.Students will turn to each other and make a pyramid gesture.

Tend to be careful about workmans' crack but.

I know of one teacher who was told to start buying buying padded bras because her nipples were showing. She dressed like a normal person, but when they blasted the a/c, well, apparently they said hi. I really can't see why nipples would be a problem if breasts aren't. I mean, breasts are bigger, right? [/b]

It was probably the best language session they'll ever have.

If you sweat out with no undershirt or deodorant, the no-rang-nay will surely hasten any discussions with the wonjangnim, at least during the summer months.

I always were an undershirt. Have done for the last few years.

But then again, Im sweatier than Barry White doing jump rope.

No undershirt in the summer. Too hot. Bonus? The students can see my tattoo's...now they have a little more fearful respect lol. My fellow teachers (Koreans all) think they look cool too. Fortunately I don't sweat much. Love the hot humid days!!!

I ALWAYS rock the undershirts-- usually the sleeveless year 'round unless its really cold, then a T-shirt.

Can't stand the things. Less is more!

I've had the luck in the past year to set my own climate control in my room.

I keep it like ice in summer.I think my nipple factor is low.A little less icy in winter,but I still like it cool.Cold???Do some starjumps you lazy fekka!

I couldn't handle working in a Korean office with heating under their control in winter.I'd simply wilt and slide under the table.

If I weighed my ideal weight, I would go under-shirtless.

As it is, I have far to many rolls, and when it's humid, the shirts stick

to them like a Korean on a cup of bung-day-gee.

Need the double layer of absorportion. Sad but true.
