I get up there and there's an ajumma sitting in my seat, stretched out and relaxing. I pointed at the seat, pointed at myself, even showed her my darn ticket that said "Car 4, Seat 14A" but all she did was just point vigorously to the empty aisle seat next to her. In the end, remembering that Confucianism justifies the means in this country, I sighed and sat down. Part of me (the rude American) wants to call ajummas out on their crap, but the other part of me (the polite expatriate) always holds me back. Grrr.<br /><br />Sometimes I do hip-check 'em back, though. A.T.

Usually, they say married men are ajushi, and agashi, means young married women. Not to be offensive, my whole family laughed at it because of the error! Well anyway if you are still at Korea lets chat or something. <br /> From PhilipAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3203012876315440530.post-21976179177008471902009-04-14T11:08:00.000+09:002009-04-14T11:08:00.000+09:00i think i can say i really dislike those ajumas. i...i think i can say i really dislike those ajumas. i've had my fair share of those rampaging ajumas...just over the weekend, i was watching a street show that was crowded with a lot of people..when suddenly, this ajuma full on pushes me out of the way! i was pissed so i tried to push her aside, then she comes back at me with an even harder push...so i pretty much elbowed her afterwards. i don't think it was THAT bad that i did it cuz i'm sure she wasn't that old. but you get the point right? i don't understand why i have to revolve around them!MiuMiuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17258823551927020007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3203012876315440530.post-42484103928566350392009-04-08T05:43:00.000+09:002009-04-08T05:43:00.000+09:00agassi is more like younger non married womenahjus...agassi is more like younger non married women<BR/><BR/>ahjushis are older menAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3203012876315440530.post-91087087246884661832008-09-30T20:03:00.000+09:002008-09-30T20:03:00.000+09:00Hey Mike,I am now on your side of the world, I am ...Hey Mike,<BR/><BR/>I am now on your side of the world, I am in Japan, Okinawa to be more precise. aka tropical island paradaise. anyway, if you ever have time off and want to get away from Seoul, there are direct flights from there to here, or perhaps I will come visit in Seoul sometime :) <BR/><BR/>~ JustinKanadjinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198562800169574554noreply@blogger.com
