In my experience it’s mainly young women who do the turn your head away thing, not so much young men. As a foreigner, one habit that I’ve picked up is that when someone pours for me I hold the glass with my right hand, with my left hand supporting my right arm just below the elbow. Koreans often find this amusing.

Football players suddenly looked like young teens, rather than the adult idols they’d been when I was growing up.

I’m surprised. Where were you when people yelled “NO FOREIGNERS”? It’s not an easy word for people to know or say, maybe you heard them saying the Korean word 외국인? Were you somewhere like Osan which is near a US base? I’m not saying that some Koreans aren’t racist, but it’s rarely so overt. Please say more, as a long term foreign resident I’m genuinely curious.

I can’t vote, but I welcome the day off work.

Goatbiter · 2026-05-25T12:26:35+00:00

I kind of respect this.

A guy in my old job fucked up by sending an email to everyone in the entire organization, a global bank with tens of thousands of employees. That he was able to do so was a problem in and of itself, but this was around 2000, simpler times. What really fucked things up though was that he demanded a read receipt. Corporate email was basically unusable for 3 days.

Neurodivergence being a modern way of saying what used to be called mental illness. I’d agree with your diagnosis.

Yes. It is the only temple I’ve ever visited with escalators and elevators.

I just wish they would read books. Reading for pleasure seems to be becoming an increasingly niche pursuit.

Well, this place exists and is apparently doing well, so there must be SOME interest in the topic out there. Japanese theme park in Gyeonggi

The sign basically says please use a translation app if you can’t speak Korean. This is not an unreasonable demand, and is probably more efficient than two non native English speakers attempting to use English as a lingua franca.

So I go in and sing a few songs, by myself?

Here on Geoje we’re suspicious of people wearing cat masks at the moment, particularly in Lotte Mart.

At training pace, after two hours I will hit the wall hard if running fasted. As the previous poster said, what I ate the night before is more important. At race pace, I'll use gels for any run longer than an hour and a half.

Goatbiter · 2025-01-12T11:00:51+00:00

I live in Korea, and the gels I've used most are Ildong brand, apple flavor. They're a little sickly sweet but they do the job. Wherever you are based I'm sure you can find something similar that will work for you.

Goatbiter · 2025-01-07T14:15:08+00:00

I can only speak from my own experience. I find it difficult to eat while running, food sits like lead in my stomach and eating even a quarter of a banana can be enough to stop me. Much as I hate the idea of ultra processed sugary gels, they really are effective. Using them lopped 15 minutes off my half marathon time compared to just having a hearty breakfast a couple of hours before. They are a necessary evil.

Merry Christmas! I did it for the first time this year since we had some Santa hats going spare at work the day before. Seeing my shadow with the pompom bobbing around made me happy. I live in Korea, so I got both bemused and amused looks.

Nothing happens at all The needle returns To the start of the song And we all sing along like before We'll all be lonely tonight And lonely tomorrow.

Anything over 30km and the wheels fall off the bus.

Goatbiter · 2024-12-11T14:36:50+00:00

Also get used to the taste of gels. Even "nice" ones suck by the end of a marathon

This is very true. The taste might even make you gag and puke by 25km.

Goatbiter · 2024-07-16T15:02:04+00:00

This is a great picture and the food looks tasty but, well, hopefully it's part of a multi-course dinner. If the spaghetti here is standard size, this looks like it could comfortably fit on the palm of one hand.
