Like I said, I've had a coworker with diabetes in Korea. I would just bring it up and talk about how easy it is to live with to assuage their worries.

No, that reflects people blow drying their pubic hair, often in JJBs. I normally see old rear end men doing it, not the young ones. Stop projecting.

Also his apartment is bigger than mine. And when I saw "trashing", I thought punching holes in the walls, which I do without any malicious intent (my security deposit is going to be gone because I am an idiot)

Ah, interesting - old rear end men in JJBs can't be cosmopolitan? Some of the worst wannabe-cosmopolitan offenders here are old rear end men in our equivalent of JJBs with their popped collars and young consorts of various genders, heh. If you live near or in one of the giant, 99%-empty-and-100%-sold-out "fancy" new condos you can spot them driving out with their popped collars and sunglasses, mia nois and gigs in the passenger seat (when you own 20 empty units in a massive condo complex, it's a hammer looking for a nail, right?). Interesting to hear that in Korea the vast majority of people who stop in public restrooms to blow dry their pubes and waste everyone's time are old men - who would've guessed!


It's not public bathrooms, it's jimjilbangs. And I would say that metrosexual does not really describe the people I see doing it... it's a common thing. And it doesnt really waste anyone's time unless they need to use the blow dryer.

While there is certainly an appearance based custom in Korea (trying to look nice, owning expensive brands, surgery) I wouldn't say that most of your examples fit Korea as well as they fit Thailand

I wonder if Korean is the only language that uses "Our" so egregiously (우리 나라/우리 가족/우리 은행). Just for fun while talking to a Korean I said "우리 나라" referring the US and got a chuckle but they wouldn't say why.

Most of those make sense in English. The thing that gets me is when I have to describe my single apartment. But that's what happens when you make a huge point of filial obligation in culture

Maybe Kant's situation isn't the perfect example because he is trying to get hired, but I definitely think people with public school contracts shouldn't be afraid to stand up for themselves. They won't fire you. It's so frustrating when people post on our local Facebook group looking for advice about all the stuff their schools are "making" them do, and the replies basically tell them to bend over and take it.

I worked for EPIK once in a city with maybe 20 NETs total. Pay for working camps at other schools (which is how they always ran, with multiple NETs for each camp) was always 30k an hour. One elementary coteacher decided once that her camp would only pay 20k, which led to the teachers who had already agreed backing out. As much as we asked nobody to take the camp (except the teacher who worked at that school, obviously), a few people still agreed to do it. Not a single elementary school ever paid more than 20k after that. I guess the moral of this is that people being pushovers really can screw things up for other people.

That's kind of what I meant by my original comment. Now I'll go look back through the old thread to get the backstory on Kant's issues.

Meanwhile, in GEPIK, we don't get paid to do camps. As the atmosphere gets more competitive, the pay and benefits go down. This is not necessarily being a pushover as it is trying to get a job and maintain it.

Yes, you can, and that's great. You can cook you own food or go to a restaurant, build your own computer or buy a mac, etc. etc.

You can do a whole lotta poo poo yourself, but I'd rather play videogames.
