Only in Korea!


  1. The girls leave their homes with their hair curlers still in. And they're all hot pink.
  2. Boys wear "manscara." (Yes, it's actually called that)
  3. The selfie stick...need I say more?
  4. Rest stops are the final destination. I'm driving by like, who's at that rest stop? ...Buddha?
  5. They send your parking/speeding tickets to your house in the mail so you don't even know you got a ticket until a couple weeks after the offense! Oh, it gets better. They send with the ticket a picture of the car. However, too many people were getting caught with someone other than their spouse in the next seat over, so to solve this problem, they started blurring out the person in the passenger seat. As they say, ignorance is bliss.
  6. The subways are quiet, there are glass doors that prevent you from falling off the platform, and sometimes old Korean men just sit on you. (Cue Amelia Mignonette Thermopolis Renaldi PrinCESS of Genovia)
  7. Literally everything sings to you. EVERYTHING. From the train, to the washing maching and everything in between.
  8. Full grown adults will "swim" (more like stand) in waist deep water with no waves on the beach wearing floaties & heavy duty life jackets.
  9. Plates of onions.
  10. Hiking a mountain is actually scaling a mountain. i.e. There are stairs on every mountain.
  11. They have actual outdoor gyms with weight machines, free weights, ellipticals, and stationary bikes for the public to use freely all over the place. Only old people go and they wear the funniest clothes...slacks and a polo...and they are JACKED like you would not believe (At least the men...the women pretty much only do the hip swivel machine 😂).
  12. 아니요!! (Aniyo!) It's all we hear.
  13. Cereal is $12 a box. Am I being punked?
  14. Restaurant Delivery - they bring the food all saran wrapped and they leave a box for you to put all the plates, bowls, and utensils in. They come back and pick up the box later.
  15. Sock shops on every. single. corner.
  16. Face masks...some wear them so they don't get others sick, other's are just paranoid of getting sick themselves.
  17. Hand fans. No explanation necessary. It's freaking hot here.
  18. They have mouth wash in public bathrooms in a little dispenser with little cups so you can leave with fresh breath. Also, public bathrooms in the mountains are nicer than most public bathrooms in the USA.
  19. Korean pizza...if it's not pizza, don't call it pizza. They put everything from shrimp to corn on their "pizza". Thank goodness for Costco pizza. 🙏
  20. They use stuffed animals to save seats for pregnant women on the trains.
  21. SO many nice cars. The city is crawling with ferraris and maseratis.
  22. You can get milkshakes in a bag.
  23. They don't have trash cans on the street. More like trash piles.
  24. Baseball game extravaganzas.
  25. Adults line up to take a picture with a stuffed animal.
