Things

There are some things that I am never going to get used to.

The first one is to order food home. Even before the era of connectivity through the internet a phone call was enough to prepare for a meal especially the chinese food. "Two zazeimyeon one zzambbong one gunmandu to apt 70-107" was the usual for our family.

But after I returned. I never did order food home. I rather eat out in the restaurents. I think it is much nicer eventhogh we are going to have some simple chinese.



The Second thing is about TV and celebraties.

Since I totally lost the track of who is whom in what and I do not enjoy many of the Korean dramas and I am not so interested in celebraties lives I don't think that I'll be able to get interested. Vitali accuses me that I don't like the Korean culture and she has a point. I don't like the Korean pop culture. Why? some other time.



Thirdly, I will never get used to rudeness in the public space for instance, subway bus and streets etc. Why can't we say excuse me? Especially oldmen have difficulites to say excuse me. They just push people before they get out. Sometimes they have a hand on my back ready to push me when the door gets open. Once I turned and said " Don't push me. I will also get off next stop." and he was so angry and start shouting at me that I am uneducated arrogant bitch. Ohlala!!! Things happen and Seoul is an exciting city.



However, I like living here surrounded by all conveniences like delivery service

and most of all all the nice people that I know, family, freinds neighbours....

Well, people don't push you around in Sweden or in Germany. Sweds very seldom say "excuse me"if they happen to bump into you or things like that. It irritates me, because when I grew up people were more polite.
Actually, I find German people a bit more polite than Swedish.
