You've been in Korea too long when...

Just to make you smile knowingly...

15. You have a black belt in 'paper, scissors, stone'.

14. You've had kimchi stew for breakfast, kimchi fried rice for lunch, kimchi dumplings for dinner, and yet you still reach for the kimchi side dish each time.
13. You've eaten pig's feet, ox tail, dog, silk worms or a live baby octopus.

12. A roll of toilet paper on the dinner table no longer phases you.

11. You catch yourself using Konglish words with your non-Korean friends.

10. A motorbike drives up the pavement [sidewalk] towards you and instead of jumping aside you refuse to move out of the way on principle.

09. You've broken up a street fight of drunken businessmen.

08. You hate Japan for no apparent reason.

07. You start wearing a surgical mask in winter.

06. You make a midnight munchies run for shrimp crisps [chips] and pre-packaged kimbap triangles.

05. The loudspeakers on the trucks driving in your neighbourhood don't wake you up.

04. You go to a "Western" restaurant and can't seem to use a knife and fork.

03. You've purchased something while riding the subway.

02. You find yourself on toothbrush row in the office toilets [washroom] after every meal.

01. You stop and stare unabashedly when you see a foreigner, forgetting you're a foreigner too.

PUHAHAHA this story is amusing to me! I think most of things are concerned with Pa....k. He is no more than Korean. I saw his brushing his teeth in the hallway.
I opened my eyes wide in surprise.
I was really embarrassed at that time.:>

푸하하하 이 이야기 너무 재밌네요. 내가 생각하기에 이 대부분의 것들이 패△◈쌤에 관한 거 같네요. 난 그 쌤이 복도에서 양치질 하는거 봤거든요, 그 때 어찌나 황당하던지 ㅋㅋㅋ
아무튼 아담샘도 좋지만 패트릭샘도 참 좋았어요.
