How I have changed because of Korea




I now have no qualms about eating food right off somebody else's plate without asking first.

I think foreigners smell like milk.

I think all white people look the same.

I recognize"sleep"as a hobby.

I feel it is perfectly acceptable to stop dead in the middle of a path in front of others.

A shopping trolley is a weapon

As are elbows.

If it doesn't have chili in it, it has no taste.

I will pay $400 to fly 1 hour to China/Japan and have given up ranting about easyjet/bmi/ryan air's cheap flight deals.

I'm no longer shocked when I see a man carrying his wife's/girlfriend's handbag, wearing her shoes and wearing a pink t-shirt whilst walking down the street.

I no longer feel under dressed climbing the mountain because I too have the Northface walking shoes and backpack even though there are steps to the top and food and drink stalls on the way.

I am more open to new experiences; especially after a bottle of soju.

I get confused when someone says they don't have a mobile phone: How on earth will you survive? and how will I ever be able to arrange to meet you?!

The Internet is a part of me, like a leg. I could learn to live without it if I lost it: but why would I willingly cut off my leg?!

If something can't be delivered it's not worth having.

I recognise Canada as a country and not just a rather large American state.

I've developed a North American accent and have started saying things like "Y'all" and "Eh" without flinching.
