So it came to my
attention today, by my lovely co-teacher, that showing your shoulders in Korea
is considered quite whorish behaviour… This information came up because I was
AT WORK (on my second day) in a lovely little sleeveless shirt! Luckily she had
a sweater in her bag that I could borrowed for the rest of the day! Crisis averted! I only wish I had had this
information 4 days ago! I've been
walking around town getting strange looks (mostly from older gentlemen) under the impression that it was because I'm a tall white chick! But no! It's because I was
traipsing around with my very indecent shoulders hanging out of my shirt for
all to see! How horrible of me!
Any ways. Just one of those weird cultural
differences. Though shoulders are a
no-no, it is perfectly acceptable to wear a see-through shirt and bright
coloured bra… as long as the see-through shirt covers your shoulders!
I do believe I will
be make a trip to the store to buy a few short sleeve button-down shirts to
cover my indecencies tomorrow!
I'll write tomorrow
regarding my first two days of work. For
now, I'm heading to bed!
