You Know You're Korean When...

I miss my Korean-ness. I've decided to post some random things about Koreans, entitled 'You Know You're Korean When...'

Feel free to add on. This entry took some brainpower, but it was fun to type up. Enjoy.

- you think anything soup or stew thats spicy and hot is the best cure for a hangover.
- you're convinced that South Korea won the World Cup in 2002.
- you remember to bring the jar of kimchi to the camping trip but forget the sleeping bags.
- you wake up in the morning and have soju for breakfast.
- you think that leaving a fan on throughtout the night while having the windows closed will kill you.
- you disregard pedestrians
- you get deeply emotional from a Korean drama, even though the story line makes no sense at all.
- you think picking your nose in public (while your hand is covering your nose) is fine.
- you think that Seo Taiji is analogous with Michael Jackson.
- you smell someone's juicy fart and your mouth starts to water.
- you genuinely believe that kimchi can cure anything.
- you eat certain foods because they will increase your sexual stamina from 3 thrust finishes to 4 thrust finishes.
- you open up a business and close it down 2 years later because there are 12 other businesses in your block with the same exact services.
- you deny that Koreans eat dog, even though you yourself have eaten dog on many occasions (and enjoyed it).
- you think eating eel will give you a hard-on, but eating bean sprouts will make you lose it, and the reasoning behind both is: "the shape".
- you take pictures of everything you see while you're on vacation. A picture of you in front of a shop, of you in front of a house, of you in front of a bush, etc.
- you think Koreans are superior because we are descendents of a bear that ate garlic. (look this up)
- you are convinced that this new super medicine pill will help you look younger, lose weight and help your sex drive.
- you stick a needle in your thumb to relieve indigestion.
- every friend you made in any grade level is still your friend and you meet them at least once a year, especially the ones that you sat next to in your classes.
- you ask questions like 'Are you sure you can handle it?' while you warn people how about spicy Korean food is, even when they are almost done with their bowl of kimchijjigae.
- you're convinced that everyone in the world knows that Nong-Shim makes some of the best ramyun.
- you have 20 pictures on your highly advanced camera phone, and it's all pictures of you.
- you think Hyundai makes classy, affordable cars.

and finally,

- you find yourself hating the Japanese.
