I actually have two related (not really) questions about SK culture, based on stuff I've heard/read second hand (how do you read something second hand? I don't know).

Both relate to how things are in Canada.

Basically its about pot and homosexuality. Marijuana possession caries pretty soft punishment here. It's been on the verge of legalization for years and, probably sometime during our next government, will be de-criminalized. Its a pretty big part of the culture for a lot of young people. I heard in SK the cops are very serious about grass. People get serious prison time for smoking a joint. Its sounds crazy to me- is it true?

The other one is homosexuality. It's pretty much a non-issue in Canada's cities (ignoring red neck corn farming areas). Gay marriage is legal, and gay culture is celebrated openly. No one (almost no one) cares if you're gay or straight. I heard in SK there's still huge stigma's against gay people. Is that true? Is gay marriage legal there?


I have been really interested in korean entertainment and culture for 2-3 years and know only this one actor or comedian ( bald) who openly says that he's gay, I dont know what the public opinion n him is though and I've read in many blogs now that Homosexuality is one of the big taboo topics.

Hmmm. I have a sort of long slender face, so it's definitely nowhere near 1:8 for me. Does that mean a cute korean girl will never love me? ;_;

I like the insight here. ^^

I have to say my current fashion sense has been indefinitely affected by living in Korea for a few months. Positively rather than negatively, IMO.

Shit.. it's really interesting and I see how it's like the Chinese when it comes to doing stupid shit for "face". I'd imagine Japan would be similar too?

So happy that my great grandmother moved here :D

Question: how to these teens pay for their plastic surgeries? isn't it really expensive. seems like a huge economic hit if everyone in your family is getting them.

Not a lot of old people get them, only the insanely rich/wannabe-young. Botox is pretty common, but it's not that expensive as far as I know. Eye jobs are only around $1000 USD, not a big investment, so a lot of parents give their daughters eye jobs as a high school graduation present, sort of like how US parents get their kids a car.

nice blog. really enjoyable read. Wow it does seem as though if you're not perfect you are not good enough. I bet it's amazing for combating obesity though and it's nice to see people taking pride in their appearance.

So I was going to post a semi-serious comment on this thread... but then I saw this.

I'm a guy, and I've had quite a large number of Asian female friends tell me I could pull off the Korean look if I bothered to dress well (too cheap, gogo free college t-shirts and sale racks at the mall ayyyyy). Uhh... yay?
