Another vignette that came to me outside of Family Mart:

Corn on my pizza.
Cultural relativism
Stretched past its limit.

What is the sound of
One door closing quietly?
My neighbours know not.

Phlegm on the footpath
Slippery when it's icy
Fall down on my bum

No, I'm not Russian
Just buying my groceries
Go home to your wife!

Students digging deep
In their nostrils for green gold
Pass the Dettol, please.

Thank you Mister Bean
Once again forgo teaching
While my students watch.

Please don't elbow me.
The subway isn't crowded.
Spare my ribs this once.

Been here for 5 years.
Still can't use squatter toilet.
Without wetting self.

Subway door open;
Life in Korea. Garlic smell
Do I smell of cheese?

Today is school photo.
Sorry, should have said before.
Oh, you look so nice.

Is it delicious?
Maybe you cannot eat the spice.
You chopstick very well.

Do you know four seasons?
Autumn, winter, spring and summer.
Korea's charm alone.

You have open class.
Thank you for telling me. When?
It start 10 minute.


She has a small face.
she would be beautiful, but
she is very fat.


"OK! Be quiet please!"
Chaos blooms and then prospers
There will be no hope.


"You should take a rest-
There will be no class today."
"Why weren't you in class?"


Teacha! He hit me!
She hit you, she is a girl.
Teacha- transgender!


Cries resound once again
Always the same words I hear:
Give-uh me candy!

Teacha is smoking?
No, just holding this for him.
Phew, blame is shifted.

Is she a hooker?
Why? You wanna f*** with her?
Err, not right now thanks.

Fall in Korea
reds, yellows, ice on the wind

In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

We are not "guests" in Korea. Korea didn't invite us over for Pimms in the garden. We are paid employees.

I got this one day a few months back:

I hate Japanese
Why do you hate them
Japanese no good

Me:

The weather here sucks
I thought there were four seasons
I see one, crappy
