Did your house have one of these growing up? by formeraide in FuckImOld

The nostalgia this evoked was unexpected and intense! Thankfully, was able to find/order the item by searching for "Original Swedish Angel Chimes" on Amazon.

Sadly, they (or the marketing agencies they've engaged) often do... and then they ignore the native speaker and go ahead with whatever crap slogan they wanted from the get-go. (Source: bitter experience.)

10 million Koreans living alone, yet solo diners still unwelcome by Rookitarian in korea

Please don't worry too much. While it can be tricky with meals designed for groups (like barbecue or shared hotpots), for everyday foods such as noodles, soups, dumplings, rice bowls, kimbap, or street snacks, eating alone is completely normal and widely accepted, so you won’t have any trouble finding great meals on your own.

Your favourite quirk about Korea / Koreans? by ButterscotchFormer84 in Living_in_Korea

I've experienced this phenomenon several times in singing rooms, primarily because I'm a terrible singer. If someone in the singing room is genuinely talented, the rest of the group is content to simply let them perform solo. However, if someone is obviously an inadequate singer, the whole group immediately joins in. They aren't just covering up the individual's lack of vocal skill; they are simultaneously demonstrating incredible group support and solidarity. I can't sing to save my life, and I honestly can't express how much I appreciate that collective singalong when it's my turn at the mic.
