For the win. Aristocrat's list really wasn't that outlandish. A different kind of cheese? He didn't force them to eat Casu Marzu.
I'm not buying into this pandering to their little whims. 'I don't like doing this' 'tough shit'. Life isn't fair, we don't get to pick and choose what we want to do all the time.
fair enough. i was fairly picky as a kid and would have definitely not wanted to try any different foods. what food did the kids get to try btw?

Marmite is ace, love it.
80% can't be bothered trying something new, they'll go abroad and eat Korean food, they'll spend their holidays watching tv at home and eating chicken. Then you get the 20% who try things at least once, travel abroad and experience new things. Korean psyche isn't about being totally unique and different. It's about the 'jeong' mentality.
Thermite gives me explosive diarrhea.

Then you get the 20% who try things at least once, travel abroad and experience new things. Korean psyche isn't about being totally unique and different. It's about the 'jeong' mentality. Isn't that most people? I mean, how many people are hardcore into different things back home? There's a lot of American tourists who will stick mostly to what they know and might go local for foods they're familiar with, but they aren't ordering the Scungilli or the squid ink pasta. I think your average American and Korean are crossing over a lot when it comes to tourist food- Safe options that everyone around the world eats and established chains and then stuff that serves fare from their country of origin. Yeah, some of the extreme Ramen fools are pathetic, but not everyone is rolling that way. Also, the degree to which some westerners try to be "unique and different" comes across as desperate at times. Not saying there aren't merits to it, but some people are trying too hard and it shows. Sitting around the TV eating poultry while watching a movie/sports on the TV during a holiday. NEVER seen that back home.
My coteachers probably think I'm rude because I refuse food that they eat in the office all the time. But there are some things I can't bring myself to eat (I might have tried it before or I might not). The "You're an adult" works both ways. Because I'm an adult does that mean I have to try everything that's put in front of me even if I don't want to? Or because I'm an adult haven't I earned the right to make my own decisions lol.If people think I'm rude for not wolfing down their cold rice cakes and gwamegi in the office then that's ok.

Does the pollution really depress anyone? This is my first year here and it's really getting to me emotionally. The air has barely been good since I got here (Aug), and it's just going to get worse in spring. I'm definitely not sticking around next year but I feel so depressed and trapped by the atmosphere. I've made plans to hike for 3 weeks in a row and had to cancel every time because of the air.7 more months
