"i've learned more about Korea from you, than I have the past 2 weeks hanging out with Koreans"

what i really should do is start a VVIP host service for Americans or Chinese people visiting Korea.  I live the foreigner perspective.  and because I am long winded, I can notice the distinctions of culture and put them into a long winded analogy for anyone with a similar background as mine.  and as i describe the idiosyncratic uptight korean nuances of everyday life, it also functions as a way of me coping with the situation that i deal with.  minute by minute.  

see that sign?  it doesn't say elevator in korean.  it says ael lei bei tuh.
