That's quite the initiation to a new country in my opinion.


Grrrr explained to me "In Korean culture if Koreans show resistance and you don't back down they will always eventually give you the respect you deserve."


I've oddly found this true here in Western culture as well.

Great story, gave me a nice smirk :3

Ya true, it is basic human nature, though in Korea it s certainly exaggerated.

I was thinking the same thing.. but.. why is it called manner toast again?

edit: also, 5 stars.

Grrrr truly ain't no bitch. I always enjoy your blogs for sheer entertainment and your writing style just makes it seem like you're there. Also for new things about Korean culture since I'm slowly but surely learning the language <3 5/5

Rek, what year was this in?

And have you endeavored to learn KR since then?

^^

Also, write a book if you want to make a bit of cash from your fellow TL'ers, you'd have some sales man.
I see the want to in your eyes.
