You know you’ve been in Korea a Year When...

You know you’ve been in Korea a Year When:

.Getting naked in front of  twenty old ajummas (ladies) is nothing. In fact you look forward to your Jimjilbang experiences.

.You can’t speak fluent Korean but you can order food and drink like a pro. 

. You throw the posh ‘aschimnica’ hellos at your principal. 

.Not only are you not scared of buses but they seem easier than subways. 

.요간리드타스 

.Being shoved doesn’t annoy you. 

. You also know that the above statement is 100% a lie. 

.You’ve told the tales of the extreme heat/cold to everyone back home. 

. You fear going through both again.

.Mr Bean is your new hero. 

.You reminisce about the days you didn’t know your way around Downtown (or just reminisce about the fountain if you are a Daeguein) 

. You do know your way around Downtown but bars are still your main reference. 

.You have seen more temples than you thought possible. 

.Bowing is not only natural to you but you feel rude not doing it when you meet westerners. 

.You can never pour a drink or take money without holding your arm. It’s ingrained now. 

.If a café doesn’t have a dog or cat wandering around it, it feels wrong. 

.You’ve forgotten what real beer tastes like. 

. When you hear bars back home shut at 11pm you are shocked and appalled. Your nights normally go until 6am.

.You actually want to own something in the Korean infomercials.

.You’ve tried over 50% of the Kim Pasa menu.

.You don’t even notice yourself doing impressions of the Korea accents anymore.

.Finding Cheese on sale brings a tear to your eyes.

.You finally understand the dangers of Gogo’s/Soju/Makgollie.

.You still ignore the dangers of Gogo’s/Soju/Makgollie and drink it anyway.

.Everything you own is from Daiso or Homeplus

.You still don’t like KimChi

.You finally love red bean

.You aren’t sure how you will be able to survive life after Korea without Mando.

.You know the second that the long 20 minute infomercial  starts its time to turn the tv over.

. Korean driving still scares you.

. The unusual doesn't phase you.

.When you realise it doesn't phase you, you feel at home.
