What's the deal with those coin-op pay phones. The first 100 won coin you put in always seems to be rejected. It's been like this for years. Is it me? Do I just not have a Fonzie like touch?

Must be you... the two phones I've used in Changwon have accepted the first coin.

Though the line quality on the other hand.....

It's not always the first coin, but it is always one coin. It's the confucion way. The social hierarchy is: elders, business people, lay people, children, coin machines, teachers.

You have to bow to the machine before you put your money in, dint you know that?
