Apparently my singing garbage truck is actually a doorbell... but I'm still not too sure about that... who rings the doorbell that early in the morning? And who would choose to have such an annoying doorbell?
A few more things I've noticed in Korea:
*All Korean teachers brush their teeth after lunch to get rid of the hot and spicy Kim Chi taste/smell that is left in their mouths. I've started doing the same thing.
*Koreans don't mind pushing. I'm really not used to this - at least not pushing without apologizing profusely! It will be a cultural adjustment that I'll have to make - hopefully I won't start pushing people like crazy when I get home.
*Korean teachers do not take their work home. We're still working on that one... it's a habit that's hard to break.
*There are random exercise machines around the city of Seoul that are free for people to use. Upon riding my bike to school I pass many of these exercise areas and am surprised to find that they are usually all full.
*Korean women only get 3 months maternity leave. We are lucky in Canada!
That's it for now. I'm heading home - hopefully by the end of the week we'll have the internet at our apartment.
