You're in the Korea thread and your comment is in response to a guy talking about Koreans. Even if you were for some reason mimicking asians in general, or mimicking the Chinese, it doesn't fix anything. Like I said, personal hygiene is absolutely an issue here, but it doesn't make pantomiming a befuddled local okay.

Go back to waygook.

This'll never happen but I hope this MERS thing encourages hospital reform.
I've visited friends in the hospital a few times before and they're about as secure as a sieve. No check ins, no security (I assume until way late?), you can just come in, hang out, bring outside food and drink, bring kids and old people, nobody cares. Now everyone is shocked that hospitals are turning into viral hothouses.

As long as I'm wishing for things, I hope I get a few break days out of it, too.

My girlfriend is a nurse and has repeatedly been told by older nurses not to wear gloves when dealing with bleeding old drunks in the ER "because it's rude."

I've met a few people who had been in Korea for more than a year and couldn't read. All of them lived in Seoul though. As far as I know I've never met anyone outside Seoul that didn't acquire at least bare basic Korean ability.

Another girlfriend story! She once got forced to babysit an enormously overweight American woman admitted to the ER who has lived in Busan for 12 years and can't read or speak any Korean.

The holiday was to distract from that bitch Park Geunhye pardoning thousands of criminals after basing a large part of her platform during the election on not doing exactly that.
