You know... Korean websites are OPTIMIZED for the use of IE.
E.g, there are several websites which I can't use properly with Firefox.
What do you desire? Money? Glory? Power? Revenge? Or something that surpasses all other? Whatever you desire - that is here. Tower of God ¦¦Nutella, drink of the Gods

All my Korean friends tell me that they need to cause it's part of their examinations so everyone learns.
@ the deodorant thing, weird, but it was a running joke among my Korean friends that everyone sweats way more than them. It was true though, I/all the white dudes we ran with would be dripping sweat just from being outside and they'd be in sweaters and shit. Weird.


It's true they don't sweat. Also apparently that there's some saying that one in ten people (Koreans) sweat for the rest of the people. Lol.


Well, if that doesn't remind me of that Jaedong game, I don't know what will.

Wow, this is a great blog. Heartwarming. I want to move to Korea now! The States are horrible! I just got an uglyface from a girl today, for reasons unfathomable. We weren't even near each other. I was driving and she was walking. First time that's happened, but it felt like shit.

Also, watching HiyA's stream basically proved all the good things you've said about the average Korean. Not that HiyA is average by any means, but he fits the criteria.
Please PM me with any songs you like that you think I haven't heard before!

Do you not know to speak Korean? Koreans are pretty well renowned for talking mad shit about other people both behind backs and up front. It's one of the defining characteristics of Koreans for me.

^Not just koreans but practically every kind of Asian talks mad shit lol, behind backs at least. Though sometimes it feels more like gossiping more than talking shit. Viet here.

Though I didn't know they all went to go karaoke all the time haha. Wish there were more karaoke places around where I live, been wanting karaoke places and arcades for so long T_T.

What do you mean no talking after dinner? Is this at a restaurant, home, or both? Do they talk during dinner at all?

Oh man thanks for this, was really interesting! So can you tell they don't use deodorant? haha. Damn, I need to make sure to practice my karaoke skills before I go there then. I can't sing for shit lol.

Now I really want to go to Korea T___T
There's a class for this (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧

I heard squat toilets were pretty normal in public places in korea, is this true or do most places have both squat and "normal" sit down toilets?

Can't wait to hopefully go on a study abroad there next year or the year after.

You see more "normal" toilets lately than squat toilets.
